#but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure

[ID: Two screenshots of tags. The first reads: #i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE #my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it. #if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy #despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital #if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners #but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure #on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser #and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of all the poor of martinaise #opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union #though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals #to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel #still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it #but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful #thats cus hes not conventionally attractive #cus he is every bit as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk The second reads:

disco elysium #what is particularly edifying in this clash of messier vs claire is that he fucking wins #he out-maneuvers her and fucking wins #and she runs away with her tail between her legs #its not enough #she gets to have her working body and her money and her cushy job while martinaise still bleeds and rots and suffers #and he is still a very morally compromised powerplayer in martinaise #a win for him is not a holistic win for the working class or even the working poor of martinaise #a win for the union is not a win for the fishing village really not in the short term anyways and probably not in the long term either #still #in a game that is highly highly critical of meritocracy for the above listed reasons it still isnt completely out of hands and hopeless #we have to be better and smarter and more ruthless than people who have had every fucking advantage so failure is no shame #but we can be better #we cant really ever win in a real sense its not a game to us and circumstances are not in our favor #but still we can prevail and try #idk im being corny but yeah #theres my evrart clair manifesto i guess
