The Charles Manson reference is very unnecessary

[The Watcher]

(For those who don't get it, apparently Sissy was part of his "cult" and she sings his garbage songs).

We should not romanticize sick uninspired people like him, it is really disturbing and turning me off from the game.

It is not "edgy" "creative" "smart" "innovative" "cool" or anything else.

Imagine being one of his victims and seeing people worshiping him like this. Guy literally has swastika between his eyes. Guy literally is a rapist who raped boys and a murderer.

I know it is "fiction" but they are mixing it with reality, there really is no justification nor anything redeeming about this. It is poor writing too.

Very disappointing, not sure what the devs were thinking?

His songs are actually pretty good, especially the versions in the Family Jams album.

What a take.

The game/movie is F I C T I O N.

Charles Manson is R E A L I T Y. A literal rapist and murderer that some people are worshiping and defending his unnecessary addition to this fiction game. It is a disrespect to the I.P. too. Pure disgrace.

This isn't Twitter. Go be outraged over there.

Wait until you find out TCM itself is partially based on the crimes of real life killer Ed Gein.

You do realize that Leatherface is based off of a real serial killer, right? His name was Ed Gein. He did horrible, horrible things to people. So your whole "fiction" argument is invalid.

Where is the source behind that?

By the way, fiction taking inspiration from reality is not the same as absolute reality.

He is not. Just because he is a serial killer, does not make it so.

All of those is baseless talk with 0 concrete evidence. Besides, taking inspiration for fiction is not same as absolute reality.

Also, Johnny is also an original character.

You're forgetting Sissy is literally a Psychopath.. The game's literal theme is centered around the authentic atmosphere of being trapped on a property with 3 Psychopaths..

Honestly baffles me how someone singing words that might not be immediately recognizable to most people playing is a point of concern when people are getting cut up by chainsaws and having their throats slashed.. It's a Horror game. Dark themes belong here.

It's wild how many people jump straight to the ad hominem attacks instead of discussing the topic of the post.

You know... The entire point of Steam Discussions.

"I definitely studied Gein ... but I also noticed a murder case in Houston at the time, a serial murderer you probably remember named Elmer Wayne Henley. He was a young man who recruited victims for an older homosexual man. I saw some news report where Elmer Wayne ... said, "I did these crimes, and I'm gonna stand up and take it like a man." Well, that struck me as interesting, that he had this conventional morality at that point. He wanted it known that, now that he was caught, he would do the right thing. So this kind of moral schizophrenia is something I tried to build into the characters."

Does not justify romanticizing literal rapists and murderers dude.

First rationale people here.

ALSO: Based on reality (INSPIRATION) for F I C T I O N is not same as R E A L I T Y. WTF.
