one of these days i will drop an essay abt how there's actually no objectively correct characterization of any gen1 characters because they are, when in their most un-filtered state, supposed to be the streamers that play them, and to assume we know basically anything about who those people are is to miss the point of the social experiments entirely. and none of you are ready

#like i think we get at least a bit of what glranboo is like. an inkling of how glcharlie must act. maybe a smidge of glsneeg #but also do we really? they're in a high-stress situation #we don't get to know anything about how they are outside of that #don't even get me started on all the characters that die before we get to see them outside of the filter #it just amazes me when i see people getting mad about how “gl!x wouldn't fucking do that” because. really? how do you know?#honestly theres something to be said here about how argumentative dsmp-adjacent fandoms are about correct characterization in general #(at least from what ive seen. its probably other fandoms too im just not in many other fandoms)#but im too tired to delve into that and well. thats not what this post is about anyways #anyways yadda yadda don't misinterpret me this is not me saying you aren't allowed to have your own interpretation of tse characters #it is in fact the exact opposite. go nuts #this is just my weekly dose of Thinking About The Gen 1 Content Creation Allegory again #i think this is my longest tag rant yet jesus #genloss tse #rlly hoping posting this goes over well ell oh ell
