not the og anon, but for c!puffy not being great: my main point is tbe Eggpire. not only for one was she once PART of them and also possessed (which apparently actual cc puffy also forgot about??) so she should understand them better than most, but she in general shows them very little empathy about their situation.
one of the big things abt the egg is that it draws in ppl by utilizing their weaknesses. bad is only there for skeppy, skeppy is there after sacrificing himself to save bad, ant was promised his dead bf’s revival, Ponk was driven to join from heartbreak from Sam, etc. puffy however never sees the eggpire members for what they are— victims. she based them solely off of her perception without seeking any other sources, solutions, or outside influences. while she may have entered the server with the idea of spreading good and defeating the bad, she’s entirely too quick and hasty to deem what’s bad and good and refuses to look outside those bounds. she has a firm moral line of her own creation and if you fall on the wrong side of it she gives you no sympathy
(like, I remember someone talking about how she’d likely be a god awful therapist for jack bc of how he reacts with hatred and anger and violence. she’s biased enough to see “man tries to assassinate another person with a nuke” and think he’s in the wrong for it (especially with how much she likes c!tommy) thus ignoring what LED him to that point and how to deal with that, possibly even shaming him for how he acted to begin with. all hypothetical of course, but it feels realistic to me)
there was a moment I remember, set before the eggpire where bbh and puffy were trying to find a way to cure red skeppy. Bbh is clearly upset about this and puffy just suggests, hey, what if we kill him? which then upsets bad further and he shuts down the idea bc he doesn’t want to hurt skeppy at all. she then seemingly decides that bc he’s unwilling to try, he’s not open to trying to find a solution bc they’re out of ideas. she gives up on him entirely, and without any hope of curing skeppy bad gives up and decides being with the egg (and thus skeppy) is better than being without him. it was failing to cure skeppy that led to the entire eggpire, which was in part bc puffy deemed it all pointless and that they didn’t want help. in general, she tends to blame ppl who she deems as “bad” for their own situation, regardless of if it’s true or not something they can control.
tldr; puffy thinks she’s all good and thus anyone against her/her morals is the bad and she refuses to give them sympathy or consider their position, making her much less good than she appears/thinks she is
this is actually very very interesting analysis. as i've said before i haven't really watched much of c!puffy bc of timezones and not having that much time to watch vods, but i had never seen someone point out this stuff before. thank you for giving me this analysis, it was a very good read :]
send me a hot take!!!
