#if you cant tell ive been getting endlessly exhausted by rose talk the last few days

[whamss]

A mildly frustrating thing about Act 6 hate that perpetuates in certain corners in the fandom is when you try to talk about, you know, the text, and people start acting like because they don't like Act 6/think it's poorly written these are suddenly things that like, didn't happen.

Idk I like a lot of Act 6 so obviously I'm biased but I think it's very counterintuitive and tedious to talk to people who treat characters like they didn't evolve past Act 5. People who act like things like Rose's alcoholism is OOC and like a bunch of characters were just assassinated by Act 6 really need to reckon with the fact that these are still developments that happened and need to be acknowledged if you want to do any genuine analysis of a character (or the work itself). You don't need to LIKE these developments, but yes, Dave DID say that and your lack of enjoyment of a character's development doesn't suddenly remove from its significance. Characters exist in text in more than just the places you like lol
