Who's worse? And why?

[Imperius]

Mia or Trish?

[Jigsaw]

Trish. Trish is supposed to be fang's friend. She emotionally manipulated her for years. Mia's a ♥♥♥♥, but at the end of the day the most she did to alter Olivia's life was threaten her. Trish was literally friend policing who could talk to fang what fang could do and how she acted. Reed while well meaning was a ♥♥♥♥ friend too because rather than see how it was affecting fang he just wanted cohesion even at the cost of fang's familial relationships and personal identity.

While Trish was incredibly manipulative and failed to get to the base of what issues Fang was dealing with, she genuinely thought she was doing what was best and just wanted the best for her best friend. If not for Anon's intervention, Trish may have caused some actual damage in Fang's life (Perhaps not as catastrophic as ending 1, as Anon did play a part in sending Fang over the edge ). On the other hand, Mia had full knowledge that what she was doing, and almost completely revels in it. Her bullying and later blackmailing of Olivia, her apathy at best and active hostility at worst to others, except Ben. Even then, She treats him more like a way to cheat the system rather than a person, literally blackmailing him with his antipsychotic medicine, and the moment she's caught for who she truly is, immediately spills Ben's condition and flees the state. ).

Mia is truly worse by a long shot.

While i haven't played Snoot Game yet (and only seen a friend stream it on Discord), Mia is easily the worse of the two. She's not even deluded, but fully aware of what she's doing and revels in it like a Machiavellian dictator. Plus she actually tries to murder both Inco and Olivia after they agree to talk to Iadakan about the art contest incident and abuses her boyfriend behind the scenes, even when he does everything she asks for. She also plays a part in Inco's character regression on the E1 path, and the tragedy that follows.

At a personal point too, Mia also reminds me a lot of my days back in middle school, except a lot worse. I sued to partake in bullying with one of my former friends back then, and these years i feel nothing but shame regarding it. She's the first fictional character in years i've genuinely hated and wanted nothing but pain to find it's way to.

Trish from the looks of it, seems to be more oblivious and misguided than genuinely despiceable. While it may not excuse her actions or the contempt she treats Anon with, it does make them a little easier to understand.

Most of Snoot's characters are simply teens trying to do the right thing but screwing up at it. Trish has the semi-excuse of a childhood spent having to be a surrogate parent for five out-of-control siblings, making her inadvertently treat Fang the same way; it's wrong, but she doesn't know that she's wrong.

OTOH Mia knows she's a c-word and does it anyway. That's infinitely worse.

Mia is by far a worse person, and in my opinion a worse character. She's a pretty one-dimensional bully. She has zero redeeming qualities. At the start it at least seems like she treats Ben better than she treats literally everyone else, but then at the end she physically abuses him, blackmails him, and withholds his medicine. She is a genuine remorseless monster. Trish is an antagonist to anon, and she does some pretty messed up things (mainly the incident with the projector), but she is shown to have actual good qualities. She isn't a bad person at heart, she wants the best for her friends, but she is incapable of accepting when her friends want something different than what she thinks is best for them. In ending 4, anon showing empathy and understanding to Trish helps her to accept that she can be wrong about someone, and Fang ghosting her helps her to understand that sometimes she doesn't know what's best for everyone and that her actions can have serious consequences. She is a complex character with believable reasons for why she acts the way she does, and in the end she isn't really a villain. Part of the lesson of Snoot Game is that you need to be mature and show empathy to others, and Trish is the greatest lesson Snoot has. You have to show empathy and understanding to someone who has just done something terrible to you, and in the end you can forgive her and mend bridges. Trish is a central character that reinforces the message of the game, while Mia is essentially just an obstacle to create conflict and facilitate Inco and Olivia's character arcs. Still love Wani, but Mia is probably my biggest disappointment in this game, as I bought this game immediately after finishing Snoot Game and a big lesson that game tried to teach was how to be empathetic and understanding to everyone, even those who wrong you, and there is no route in this game that lets you understand why Mia acts the way she does, or any opportunity to redeem her.
