"Yeah i have some weird tastes but overall I'd say my ability to empathize with non heroic characters in a story and tell horror from tragedy is pretty normal. Like, very average, on par with anyone with 5th grade or above reading comprehension."

a YouTuber: "possibly the biggest pill though is I'm now going to have to ask you to empathize with one of these shape shifting vampires even though they have absolutely killed people. this is phase 3 of "what the heck is going on in (the game he's talking about)" it's not actually a horror game. i know. it's a lot"

#like #is it really so normal to just #not be able to vibe with a fictional character if theyve done a plot appropriate bad thing?#Yeah they killed a lot of people. big whoop none of those cunts even existed #Also how can you be surprised that a game Called Immortality would involve immortal characters.#its whats on the tin #idk maybe he was just trying to make it sound deep? By sounding kinda dumb?#idk he also couldn't grapple with the concept of absurdity or just nodding and going yeah that tracks #Also i dont get why hes calling these characters vampires #they dont drink blood as a form of sustenance they just kill to steal faces #Also the obsession with art and making art would put them more thematically in line with fairies than vamps #since vamps are usually best utilized as an exaggerated parasite. or as a symbol of corruption #they are fundamentally still human and grapple with human problems while the shapeshifters in immortality are explicitly #not human at all.#and struggling against the messiness of the humans around them while holding human adjacent desires.#they want to make True art and entertain and be seen.#idk he calls them vampires a lot and its just #strange.#like ive watched a few of his videos now and a lot of them are good and have good points. i like his editing and narration #but he doesn't really grok a lot of more grey concepts and struggles with things that just are. or are vague in a story. He Has to grope to #find something more rigid and it just idk. Smart guy. struggles to look the blurred spaces in the eye and accept their company #sort of guy who would melt if you handed him the book of unsolvable problems.
