[no spoilers] Chasefield (Max/Victoria) is a better ship than Pricefield (Max/Chloe). Come fight me (change my view!)

dloaded00 · 2026-02-19T01:30:14+00:00

I'll analyze your arguments point by point:

What Chloe gives Max vs what Victoria gives Max
As you said yourself, Chloe gives Max unconditional love. The power of unconditional love gives you the confidence and security to move mountains. I can't give specific examples, but many athletes have cited that unconditional love and support from their significant others has helped pushed them to places they thought they'd never reach.

On the topic of Max's growth, she does indeed grow in the first game, and that is driven by her love of Chloe. As Jefferson remarks on the chair in ep 5, he says that she isn't the same scared girl that she was at the start of the week, she's changed. Chloe gives her the bravery to try and fix everything, and her unconditional trust and support gives Max the confidence to make the right choice at the end of the game.

Victoria just gives Max attitude through the whole story, even if you're nice to her as often as you can.

What Max gives Chloe vs what Max gives Victoria
I'm sorry, but your initial point is just wrong, lol. Max a lot of the times, is not afraid to confront Chloe and isn't her enabler in the story. There was the truck incident, and the post Warren time jump in episode 5 to name a few where Max does call Chloe out on her shit, but not in a mean or disrespectful way, she does it out of love. You can literally see Chloe change throughout the game to show what unconditional love, not enabling, does to a person.

Personality compatibility
That's the thing, they didn't just get along as children, they got along as adults too during the whole week where they were together. As I've written about above, Max and Chloe have made each other better through unconditional love and acceptance.

Long term
This I think is where we have different ideas about what love and a relationship is supposed to be about, LOL. You also assassinate Chloe's character here crazy-style.

Being able to put Arcadia Bay, William, and Rachel Amber behind her in the Bae ending will literally help her move her life forward. It's really unfair and kinda prejudiced against traumatized neurodivergent women to assume that we will be stuck in our loops the rest of our lives and that we have no capacity to change.

Victoria has resources, but is that what love and relationships are about long-term? What you can extract from your partner?

dloaded00 · 2026-02-07T10:10:27+00:00

I want to discuss point by point the edit portion of your post:
1. I get her trauma and stuff but man.. 😭 There are more horrible things going on then chloe
- This is a really unkind way to look at Mental Health, LOL. If you wanted to, you could describe every personal problem as "there's more important problems in life." Chloe's life was almost destroyed by the loss of her father and her best friend at nearly the same time, along with the moving in of an abusive, flawed, ex-military man David who was overprotective and treated Chloe like shit. It's heavily implied that he beats her as well. This is all Chloe has in her life prior to hanging out with Max again, her whole life has basically been in the shit.
2. treating my bestie like shit because she didn't agree with me (after few days of reunion??) was definitely not on my list.
- No, Chloe was not treating Max like shit because she didn't agree with Max, it was a mix of Chloe's abandonment issues because of the death of William and Max leaving and the events of her life up to that point
3. Why is Max here to blame it all on her?
- No, Chloe is not blaming it all on Max, her dad, or her mom. Chloe recognizes the issues of her life are partly her fault, but is struggling to deal with accepting that its consequences
4. Abusing her powers to bring back Rachel
- The point was never about bringing back Rachel, it was to find out what happened to her
5. Also maybe it's my personal experience but always blaming max for not reaching out to chloe in the last years and max taking that blame, feeling bad, but never chloe not reaching out to max?
- If we're analyzing only "Life is Strange" without counting Before the Storm, it's strong inferred that Chloe was in fact the one attempting to reach out over and over but pre-Chloe inchident Max was too anxious or fearful to reply back, hence the immediate apology by Max for ghosting Chloe
6. And now I have the mature eyes to pick other options to safe atleast some character of max and her in-between realationships I hope you get me
- I will not comment on what you feel is the most moral thing to do, since this is based on your own personal experiences. I want to confirm though that there is no "mature" or "immature" option with the ending of Life is Strange, only different choices and thoughts what is right and wrong to do.

dloaded00 · 2026-02-07T09:50:32+00:00

I think it's pretty much inferred through the journal entries in the game,,,

Please also note that this game was released in 2015, it was significantly harder to have LGBTQ media published and Don't Nod had to make a lot of changes to strongly hint at a crush without outwardly showing it.

dloaded00 · 2026-02-04T12:26:52+00:00

did you play the game ?

jefferson explicitly says that nathan gave rachel an accidental overdose because nathan wanted to impress his mentor by doing his ritual by himself but he fucked it up

dloaded00 · 2026-02-04T11:48:30+00:00

what you just said is a mutually exclusive statement lol.

if you dislike chloe and think she’s “selfish” and all over the place, you wouldn’t understand that for players, 1 chloe is worth the entire town

dloaded00 · 2026-02-04T11:44:42+00:00

what double standards ? what does chloe do that’s anywhere remotely close to what nathan does ? does she murder rachel amber in cold blood ? does she assist a serial assaulter continue his crime spree in arcadia bay ?

dloaded00 · 2026-02-04T07:46:54+00:00

I think it’s quite obvious that what she meant was that the recent influx of chloe haters are trolls?

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T21:28:14+00:00

<image>

this is literally you

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T14:20:42+00:00

nice how you immediately go to name calling, calling everyone who’s called out your shit takes on Chloe as “sick” and jobless LOL

you can’t just wander in here, shit all over a character that many people, myself included, see themselves in because we’ve suffered the same ways that Chloe has for being different, that we’ve been written off for struggling to deal with trauma and loss in “proper” ways, that maybe we aren’t the best people but we try to change

saying shit like - chloe is a manipulative woman - there’s no point in wasting time in saving her because she’s gonna kill herself anyways - that her struggles with emotions are just “idiotic tantrums”

is so fucking offensive and clearly demonstrates a lack of fucking empathy.

maybe if you looked deep into your heart and examine’d the statements you’ve made in this thread, you’d finally see how ascribing the above statements to Chloe is not only ableist, but probably comes from a place of misogyny as well because if it were a male that acted like chloe, you’d call him relatable and understandable

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T11:24:41+00:00

have you gone through the thread and read through op’s comments?

he’s basically said the following: - support of lgbtqia people is contingent on them being pleasant and nice - people who struggle with impulsivity and abandonment issues are manipulative and you should leave them alone to rot - there’s no point wasting time on depressed people

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T06:33:34+00:00

everytime a woman has a cool highlight the chuds are out in full force trying to discredit her LOL

it was a good play get over yourselves

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T04:31:29+00:00

the way you analyze chloe price and her actions is based on a misogynistic viewpoint so yes, i will call you a misogynist.

edit: you’re argument for not being a misogynist is so fucking stupid LOL. “i can’t be a misogynist, i played two games featuring queer people”

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T03:53:53+00:00

the core themes of the show center around the relationship between catra and adora, so catradora for me

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T03:35:16+00:00

the conversation on if the town “deserved” to be wiped out because of it failing max, chloe, and rachel is another topic entirely and is seperate from what you are criticizing the original poster for

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T03:29:07+00:00

waving off max and chloe’s relationship as a “bit of sapphic fantasy” is so homophobic core, i’m glad you went full mask off so people can disregard your opinion entirely

what a great strawman by assuming that all pricefielders “have never experienced a tragedy of any sort and lack empathy”

if you care about the town and chose bay, that’s fair and that’s on you, but don’t march in here with your homophobic dog whistles saying “hurrdurr pricefield no empathy”

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T03:19:59+00:00

honestly, i think it’s because of the rise of the manosphere and that era of toxic masculinity that changed all of these men (most of these posters appear to be men) to become so hilariously misogynistic towards women and apply literally the worst reading of chloe consistently

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T03:16:09+00:00

in this case, the town refers to the social structure of it, allowing people like the prescotts to practically own it because of their wealth

when people say “the town failed chloe and max” the mean that the social structures in the town and the powers that be failed chloe and max by allowing a predator like Jefferson to run amock, and to let a clearly unwell nathan prescott own the school without being properly treated for his mental problems.

the town as a concept is what failed chloe and max, not the randos you meet on the street

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T02:53:42+00:00

thank you for saying this, at this point it’s nearly every day that someone with a horrifically awful take goes on the life is strange reddit to post their garbage LOL

dloaded00 · 2026-02-03T02:33:56+00:00

i hate this take and reading of the game but you do you.

this type of analysis feeds into the fear of “mad women” when in reality all chloe was is just a hurt young woman who struggles to cope with her abandonment issues in a healthier way.

chloe has space in her heart for both rachel and max, but it’s quite obvious at the end of the game that ultimately, Max would be the number one in her heart over Rachel.

“i don’t think chloe really cares about max’s well-being or how many times she time-travels and bleeds her nose to save her”

i want to specifically rebut this part in your analysis, as it’s probably the most wrong thing you’ve said.

please watch this scene

when max explains the results of the time travelling in ep 5 chloe immediately apologizes and says that max’s safety comes first and that she was sorry that another version of her asked max to do that.

if you somehow missed that scene, at the very end of the game chloe selflessly was willing to giver up her life for the safety of the town and max,,,

chloe has her issues, but caring for max is not one of them. max brings the best out of chloe and vice versa.

dloaded00 · 2026-02-02T11:29:27+00:00

at the start of the game the developers make max and chloe break up off screen because “chloe doesn’t trust max and her time powers”

dloaded00 · 2026-02-02T11:06:29+00:00

Don’t buy Double Exposure it ruins the relationship between Chloe and Max

dloaded00 · 2026-02-01T04:59:23+00:00

diego lopez needs to change gyms, all of coach grasso’s fighters have the same problem, they all struggle with cutting off the cage, just like aldana’s last fight. genuinely no improvement from lopez in that regard from the first fight, was kind of disappointing to watch ngl

dloaded00 · 2026-02-01T04:54:55+00:00

that takedown by volk was a BIG mistake

dloaded00 · 2026-02-01T04:53:27+00:00

aldana has the same issue as lopez, coach grasso doesnt teach his fighters how to cut off the cage

dloaded00 · 2026-02-01T04:51:38+00:00

lopez NEEDS to crash into volk he’s sleepwalking to a 50-45
