as per usual I blame people selling umineko as an independent story not part of a larger tale

not even stuff like higurashi rereleases and content directly relating to hinamizawa. just the mere existence of an archetype manifestations inexplicably setting people off even though that’s how wtc has always worked in crafting its narrative

it’s just him getting mad about how the government works again with lower stakes this time. while kei-chan reminds the reader every two pages that he’s a natural uke

I’m a lambda fan heavily invested in the overarching plot above all else so I need to remind myself of this every so often to keep my psychological torture meter topped up

but their shipping opinions and honestly pretty inoffensive interpretations of anime scenes have caused endless outrage by comparison. like I should not be getting Live Updates on what this person I have blocked has been saying

all over a ship that's not even engaging or well-written enough for me to even care about it. I would see precisely 0 content for that ship on my feed if not for people actively seeking out to complain about it and then spinning out going on witch hunts about it

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I’m wrong. but. stealth segments in a low/mid-budget game …

it's a fundamentally flawed design that trusts the player way more than it should (and I think they integrated what would normally be FTE content into V3's script proper). but it bums me out how many people refuse to engage with it or even acknowledge the intent

entire social mechanic. then they complain about how the characters are shallow. you weren't bothering to engage with them! of course you think they're shallow! the point is that's kind of how interpersonal relationships develop in real life—you have to actually invest in others

the only way I can see anyone coming away with this take is if you exclusively played the NISA version of DR1 specifically and then never touched anything else in the series

had to go read it because I’ve been sick but I’m honestly shocked you’re getting hate when … I don’t think it requires much stretching as far as interpretations go? this is why I just stopped posting. sorry you’re getting shit for something you’ve worked so hard on
