@AppleAmps get it twisted: some media makes you sad. this is actually bad, all media should have a good ending to prevent Me from getting depressed at it
i just think your reading of bocci is incredibly misguided considering you didnt even watch all of it and it meant a lot to me so to hear it put as the "all it is is the mc is mentally ill show, boring!" is- annoying
bocci and F&H arent sad endings, i know that very well, (i mean f&h kinda is but it depends i guess idk) but the goal of that post was simply to minorly provoke you 'cause seeing bocci talked about that minorly provoked me
like- the main reaction to bocci isnt supposed to be "omg mc is just like me fr"
"omg im JUST LIKE rei ayanami!" isnt the takeaway for evangelion either but you'd think that if you saw three episodes and only heard people talk about that probably
bocci's takeaway for me is that no matter how deep in the hole you are you can still do shit if it means a lot to you. f&h's takeaway to me IS pretty much "life is suffering" though so- i cant really argue with you there, but it was cathartic for me so there's more to it than simply acknowledging that it exists, there's how the viewer(player) interprets that suffering and gives it context and meaning for themselves
i didnt really intend on having a full convo about it bc my head hurts atm so- realistically i shouldve just ignored it tbh, there are indeed better ways to go about that.
idk when the last time is that you tried to watch bocci but that's not how i felt about it at all. tbf it's been since it came out since ive seen it, but idk. i cant imagine how that's all you got from it unless you came into it wanting to be cynical about it.
and i didnt agree with your take on f&h in whole, i think what it's trying to communicate is "its suffering" yeah, but i think people could get a lot more out of it than just understanding that that's what it's saying, because i did
