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
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.
