guys hear me out but the hate towards the coffin of andy and leyley is (kinda?) unjustified

PLEASE HEAR ME OUT DONT CANCEL MEEE. so this is more of a rant and im hesitant to post this 😭but i like the game and absolutely NOT the actions. and i see people saying they despise the game because of the inc*st when that's the only thing most people know about it 👀 ofc i understand not liking the game due to being uncomfortable since the game DOES have uncomfortable and horrible things in it , or it just not being your cup of tea but people act like the creator GLORIFYS the things that happens in it when the game has neverr painted what happens in a positive light. like the characters are MEANT to be bad people!! you might make the point "well how come they never directly say what happens is bad!!" but I think we can all see what happens and think "yeahhh that's bad." and i could argue there are times where they literally acknowledge how the characters are horrible people and the bad actions through other characters. sometimes i just let out a big sigh whenever i see someone saying "TCOAAL is the worst game ever made and i have a DEEP BURNING hatred for it and deserves to be put in the concept incinerator because the creator GLORIFYS incest!!" but your characters reflect absolutely nothing about their writer. heck you could make a weird pervert oc and would that make you a pervert? no! it got so bad people started harassing the creator and even tried DOXXING them which led them to step away from social media because they made the mistake of making a game where bad things happen and there are bad characters :/ i mean ive seen so many people drop things and media because not everyone in the cast is a saint  plus I might have not done enough research but do we actually have any evidence the creator is a weirdo and a bad person BESIDES them "endorsing" the ship of andy and leyley? 🤔/genq but my point is just because bad things and bad people are in a media does NOT mean it glorifies and supports those things! buttt feel free to disagree with me if you have a different take or i made a mistake! 👍

Well the hatred towards Andy and Leyley is mostly born from people who refuse to differentiate reality from fiction and people who think it's okay to hurt REAL people for the FICTIONAL content.

You can instantly disregard the opinion of anyone that says "the game glorifies incest" since the game constantly brings attention to a simple fact: Andrew and Ashley are horrible people that do horrible things and all of their decisions are horrible shit no one should do. The bad ending where you die to the hitman literally says "the world is now a better place without you two in it".

And at this point the game feels like a social experiment to see how much reprehensible shit can be fit inside before people take their eyes off the incest and asks "what the FUCK was that". People don't complain about Renee's extreme child abuse, the siblings killing and eating a guy, the game giving you a literal prompt to slash a child's throat. Zero mention of anything else.

I personally think the story has gotten down in quality with chapter 3 since it tries more to be a dramatic while the game is better as a comedy but it's existence is still not a sin.

People just refuse to simply say "I don't like this" and must find a way to demonize everything against the ordinary. It's pixels on a screen and just a game, people gotta stop getting their panties in a twist over things they can simply just not look at. No one is gonna bang their sister because they saw it in a game, the same way no one is committing murder because they saw it in a game. It's 90's boomer mindset all over again

Its just moral superiority honestly 😭 like, the game wasnt good really imo, but it wasnt bad because of the incest. People just tend to see something that makes them personally uncomfortable in any given media and deem it morally aprehensable to even show. It happened with tcoal, it happened (to an EXTENT) with urbanspook, it happened with Terrifier, it happened with Outlast, its happening in a way with ao3, and its been happening with any extreme horror for as long as its been a genre. People get bothered by something and think the default for everybody else should be getting bothered. Honestly I think its because people are so used to the aggressive censorship in our society but thats a whole separate conversation. But, it'll keep happening. People are too stuck in their own comforts to see how anybody else can react differently to different subject matter.

I have nothing to actually add onto this, but these are likely the same people who migrated from wattpad to ao3 and then started whining about ao3's lack of censorship. Some people don't understand the rule of "don't like don't interact." Even a 13-year-old Mormon could probably understand this better.
