Thinking about how the creator of mouthwashing said that a huge part of the horror is meant to be that every player will identify in some way with Jimmy, relate to him on some level, and realize that they share some traits with such an awful person, with that being what "I hope this hurts" was meant to mean. The point is that Jimmy is someone you are going to feel a connection to and that should hurt, that should cause you to reflect. Anyway I think the mouthwashing fandom really missed that because there is a truly awful self righteousness problem that no one is doing any self reflection on. I actively avoid the fandom for this reason every post I see from the mouthwashing fandom is people talking about other fans the same way Jimmy talks about the other members of the crew (esp Curly and Anya) with 0 self awareness lol.
I just like how I told myself that I may play for a second time about mouthwashing just for me to decide to watch a video instead few days after I finish playing the game because it broke my brain. Then, after like, understanding the lore better, I'm like "how messed up this game can be?" I like the game though!
i can't get a grip, but i can't let go (there wasn't anything to hold onto, though?)
