I can see how Krypto would be taken poorly given that I had not addressed the ways I had spoken about Marl's victims yet, but Krypto was not supposed to be based on anyone else. I actually consider Krypto an important character to me, as I put a lot of feelings into her of my own experiences of having been groomed and silenced as a teen. The way Masked Papaya treats her in the game relates to how much my inability to sympathize with my teen self led to me not sympathizing with other teens who went through my kind of experience. I do care about her as a character a lot, and I care about the kinds of experiences she goes through and represents. I want the best for her, even if this is not easily apparent or understood. I understand if this is difficult to connect to, and I don't really take offense if you don't understand. It could be that I haven't connected it well enough or explained it well enough.

i take most of what i said here back after reading glitchpuppet's remarks about the game in their posts on kf

sorry for uhhhh "not getting it" the first time around i suppose

what about it elevates it to the level of abuse for you?  

i took it to be abusive and torturous based off of how lexy sadistically describes how krypto wouldn't be able to do anything about the button because the first time they try to take it off they'll be so terrified of the pink paint lexy put on the bottom that they won't be able to bring themself take it off and will be too scared of the paint being revealed to ask anyone else to help him. and that made me really uncomfortable ahahaha i spent the rest of the day i first played it having intrusive thoughts about it because it was so horrible and repugnant to me, i think its really cruel for no reason. no other way of dealing with krypto involves something that would realistically scar someone for at least the rest of their teenage years. the meanest one (excluding erasing him from existence) is just bullying them verbally until they leave.  its a weird extremely sharp escalation of a problem that realistically could have been easily solved day 1 or 2 by just letting them disassemble the vibrator they wanted for the servo in it at the desk. 

did there really need to be a plot line about psychologically abusing krypto

and in the glitch ending you say you dont like the idea of permanence but from the way it was described it seemed permanent
