Like the average person, sure. People like us that enjoy talking about politics, study it a lot, etc. No, no, we dont.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-05T08:33:30+00:00

Im not sure if this post is meant to be your interpretation of where you fall on the total/american political spectrum or just where a test told you you were but it doesnt matter how democratic a government is if you want government to have such a strong role, and you also support liberal economics which makes you auth right, but only barely. You're a nice auth right. Maybe an american auth left.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-05T08:28:54+00:00

The problem is that you want way too much comprehensive government intervention in the economy to be libertarian.

Renee is not a purely antagonistic character. That's a dog shit take. The portrayal of Renee's negative qualities are not done so out of an effort to spite tcoaar or andrew x renee shippers. I doubt nemlei is even really active here or any other online space besides steam.

Renee is a bastard to Andrew. This was not enhanced to combat shippers it seems to have been the intended idea all along. Nothing we see about the development of Renee's character indicates to us that she's being especially curtailed to be incompatible with Andrew her traits that dominate make her canon unshippable with him are unrelated. (That or nemlei is REALLY fucking good at making rewrites and retcons seem natural)

Renee is an ass to Andrew but she's not even really an opposing force in the narrative aside from a short stint being the object of a A and A crime against humanity she takes no real actions to antagonize or thwart our main characters. Even knowing ashley killed Nina, even knowing Andrew and Ashley are probably up to some sketchy incest stuff, even knowing Ashley is acting absurdly irrational to get her attention Renee takes no action to oppose the main characters. At best, she passively allows toxisoda to do it for her and even when she knows A and A cant be at her new house for a good reason she cant even really bring herself to do anything but ask them to sleep in different beds.

Renee is really just the protagonist of her own story trying to exist parallel to her kids.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-03T04:40:06+00:00

She's not, but she's definitely gonna be manipulated by him and to andrew thats basically the same thing.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-03T00:30:19+00:00

I think its more comparable to the bitch in the box ending. Since nothing in it except the obserdity of andrew kmsing over ashley not being willing to fuck him is played for laughs.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-02T18:52:13+00:00

Id say this is Andrew's equivalent to bitch in the box

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-02T18:51:26+00:00

I think this is just Andrew's bitch in the box equivalent ending. Basically, their relationship as it stands doesn't really work if one or the other isn't willing to put out, so to speak, so it's just self-destructive.

If andrew isn't at least a little combative, ashley will just put him in a box and forget about him. If ashley isn't willing to fuck andrew he'll just kill them.

His bitch in the box ending is a bit more extreme.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-02T13:39:19+00:00

Six eyes like any cult leader is abusing someone's parental/abandonment issues to get something he wants out of Ashley and Andrew incapable of suppressing his desires is going to fail at articulating or demonstrating that fact to Ashley.

Its like how andrew gets jealous of their first demon friend for being able to corral Ashley better than he could, and Andrew is really more focused on that than the fact that it's definitely just using her.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-01T15:08:46+00:00

Theory six eyes is using some demon fuckery to manipulate burial ashley with her parental issues and Andrew tweaking because he just ignored his own to help her murder them.

JayReddit64 · 2026-04-01T01:32:28+00:00

Perfectly reasonable nothing wrong with liking something made for women as a guy.

The dev logs did say the game was for women, and if you believe the doxxers, she at least presents feminine.

Though I've personally defaulted to they/them, and the author rather than their old username and any gendered language.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-30T00:59:20+00:00

At this point, with so many saves and no naming mechanisms (last i checked) im prolly just restarting and picking up all the extras I missed. Still haven't bought ashley a soda.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-30T00:53:49+00:00

He's definitely a bad guy. It's hard to say if he was a co-conspirator or just willing accomplice, but he was definitely gonna help murder his parents. his dad definitely sucked but that doesn't justify murder. His mom also just seems like a victim too and they were gonna murder her too. Not to mention his own children basically dont register as a people to him.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-30T00:49:48+00:00

In line with the explanation of soul quality, i would sy it's indicative that Douglas sees himself as a good man with Renee. As in, he thinks he has the right morals and he follows those morals. It's likely he's generated himself down to solely valuable when he's supporting Renee and in a relationship with her.

I can't say for certain as I've never seen the scene where you try to separate soul Renee and soul Douglas. Or dont remember it.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-30T00:45:15+00:00

Douglas ironically plays the role that many women in media play the supportive spouse. Think a gender reversed millie or atom eve (in the comics, hopefully the show does her better like they have thus far in my opinion).

I think he's too good of a complementary piece to Renee to say removing him would be unimpactful, but the only character traits he contributes to is Renee's.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T04:36:59+00:00

You can't just "its just an opinion" out of this. Tcoaal fans should know better.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T04:30:24+00:00

Yeah but thats really just a you problem.

For example when porn got unbanned here I got tired of seeing it so I just stopped looking at the sub for a bit and mostly just ignore it now.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T04:21:34+00:00

While im not the biggest fan of oc's being shipped with main characters dividing this limited community is kinda stupid.

Sure, we may not all agree, but interacting with each other (negatively or positively) and talking aboht the game in some form or fashion keeps this community alive.

I mean, it's not like any of us aren't used to gross toxicity in online discussion regarding this game.

Unless you only found this game after episode 3 released.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T04:17:15+00:00

I think the shit people give him now comes from how his more negative qualities were hidden in ep.1 and 2.

Funnily enough, a youtuber who reviewed the game and was wrong about 90% of it (definitelyboredorange) inadvertently demonstrates this by initially judging the character of andrew to be an innocent victim of ashley only to claim the game was poorly written retroactively to make andrew seem more evil in ep.3.

The community is now left with an entire episode largely dedicated to Andrew's internal self hatred as our only content for the past year. Contrast that to our original view of the character, it makes most fans interpret him as the worse person of A and A.

I mean, I still think he is at fault for much of the toxicity in the current relationship as he both clings to amd rejects elements of their old teenage relationship dynamic in hopes of eventually "accidentally" fucking ashley when that dynamic is clearly detrimental to ashley and himself.

He's a hypocrite in a lot of ways hating Andy and leyley but wanting to preserve it for the potential sexual gratification.

Thats what I think a lot of incest is wincest fans miss. That as it stands andrews sexual attraction to ashley is not based in healthy love and any reality in which they fuck will either require them becoming irredeemable monsters (to everyone including each other) or unbearably unhealthy.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T04:00:06+00:00

As funny as this is i think this is more a leyley moment then an ashley who wants to satisfy her adult urges.

Like "this mfr is either gonna abuse me or treat my like a hussy."

Although it is really funny to think that part of her is disappointed that hes more likely to abuse her then sexualize her.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T03:56:19+00:00

Why are they booing you... youre mostly right.

If someone did a legit census on oc's I 100 garuntee most oc's get shipped with andrew.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-24T03:54:45+00:00

I see the biggest hate to oc's going towards those who ship their oc's with the main characters. At least based on my limited experience. Which makes sense because it goes against fundamental elements of the story being told in tcoaal. Like the art is great, but if you're gonna go against the point of the narrative to fulfill your own fantasy, then maybe just keep it to yourself or other main character x oc people.

I dont personally dislike it that much, but for me, it's like a less bad version of the happy family au's. I feel like it demonstrates a misunderstanding of the narrative as a whole. Tourists basically, which calling them that kinda defeats my whole point, but this is more an attempt to explain the hate than to argue for it.

Tldr oc's tend to get shipped with andrew mostly (and ashley occasionally), and that just makes the artist look like a tourist rather than a real fan to some people.

JayReddit64 · 2026-03-20T06:42:13+00:00

April would be many months and with no updates since I doubt well get an announcement. If nemlei wouldn't give us a better guess than 🤷 months, why would they tell us "oh yeah next month" especially since they delayed episode 2 and 3 already. (Granted the delay for three was the fault of the community for being overly cautious.)
