Sometimes I feel like my natural self is just a bad person. Like I sometimes do something I don't consider bad and some people act like I acted like a POS.

But I seriously do not know why. I try to be good to other people but it almost feels like none of them care until I do something they consider wrong, then I'm a problem to them.

And I feel guilty and ashamed for this. And often angry too because it's frustrating.

Especially when I see other people act worse and then be completely fine socially.

Feels like some people just have it out for me and I don't know why.

Am I a bad person is the question I often ask myself or am I mentally wrong or is it something else.

Some people say the characters act "off" or "fake" in the bad ending but I don't think that's the case at all.

They mostly think they failed her. And they are not sure what else to think.

I mean from their perspective she did take Shroud's mask and ran off.

But they also think that considering she almost failed, she might not have bought into the idea of redemption.

But here we can see they still care about her.

A lot of people were hating on this scene because apparently Chase could have easily saved Beef but that is simply not the case.

In fact this scene makse a lot of sense once you consider Shroud's powers and the context.

First of all. Shroud, while not omnipotent has very good predictions on things he knows enough info about. So he knows how the Z-Team and Chase will react.

He knows Chase will hesitate because of his personality and he knows Beef means a lot to Robert and others including Chase.

He can also predict attacks really well so if someone might be attempting to attack he would hurt Beef.

And of course before he reveals himself with Beef he definitely made those predictions.

At that point, speed is irrelevant because Shroud can literally make his move before Chase even starts physically moving due to his calculations.

Same reason he can predict Blazer showing up. If he has enough info on things he can predict them incredibly well.

Also important to note, the whole time Shroud is holding Beef in his hands and no one on the Z-Team knows if he doesn't have something on him that could easily kill Beef.

And Shroud definitely calculated that they would have this doubt and hesitate.

While Chase is fast, he is not speed of light level speedster. He ain't no Flash and his speed has limits.

It is stated Chase's speed it's 50 times the average person. Which is fast but it is not even close to the speed of light or even a lot of other speedsters in media.

Also his reaction time is regular human when he isn't using his powers. This is why he couldn't save Astral. Shroud caught him off guard, fired a round which is already really fast and Chase tried but was not fast enough because the bullet was already fired and moving and he needed to charge his speed. So he was fast but not fast enough for that.

And his rescue of Visi is very fast but again, it's likely the editing of that scene is playing with time and it took much longer in real time than the scene presents.

I am saying all of this to explain that Shroud definitely had his calculations present when he took Beef hostage and he could calculate every move and how others might react.

He knew Chase would swoop in and save Beef if he dropped him but he also knew based on his calculations that no one else except Chase and Phenomaman maybe could be fast enough to get up there.

And more importantly fromw what we see his calculations and predictions work incredibly well when he has enough info, which he definitely had here.

So essentially Shroud could kill Beef before even the fastest members would start moving due to his predictions of them. And they know this so they don't risk it. And there are also the other Red Ring goons who could pose a big problem to others.

This could be an aesthetic thing or a romantic one or you can just think they look really cool.

For me it's all three.

Of course it's the inside that matters most. But man do tomboys look good.

I also love the way they act, assuming they aren't actual jerks of course.

Maybe an INFP quiet rebel mixed with a tomboy rebel is a cool match?

Mainly the part where she says "We're your friends."

Like people are saying this is a bad thing to say to a person that was cut.

And also saying that Blazer is apparently not Coupé's friend so saying this is kinda bad.

I disagree with this notion though. I think Blazer liked Coupé but had to cut her otherwise the program would be shut down.

And here she is being genuine. In fact, the rest of Z-Team, most of them are Coupé's friends even here. They still like her.

And also she is stopping the fight even though she could easily continue and she alongside Robert could beat Coupé quite easily.

So if anything she is trying to make up for what she did by giving Coupé a chance.

Honestly I don't understand the hate for this moment.

Before I start, I am aware this is not the case for all of them obviously.

And I am fine with people disliking Visi, you are free to do so. This is aimed the actual toxic side of the fandom that outright hates her and attacks anyone who likes her.

But from what I have seen online, most of them are either teens or adults with a mind of a teenager.

And I noticed this in the way they all type their messages. Like the staggering use of emojis mixed with very modern slang, they say words like "bruh" almost every sentence etc.

Point is the messages are clearly not written in a mature way and I know a lot of teens from experience type like this. Hell I used to type like this when I was a teen.

The other thing is the content, they just make broad generalizations and throw around big accusations to characters.

In a very immature way like "anyone defending this character/scene needs to be on a watch list" or "I worry about all the people in your life" and other such nonsense.

And they also say things like "A character/scene like this is bad for society and trivializes important subjects" without providing much concrete proof and they are often wrong.

Especially since they don't seem to understand this is also a dark comedy and pretty raunchy game.

But the biggest piece of evidence is that when I check some of their bio's they say their age (often in their teens) or they just say in the comment that they are a teen.

To which my response is almost always: "Get off the internet, you are too young to be here."

So yeah, most Invisigal haters from what I have seen appear to be either teens or people with a mind of a teen.

Which explains a lot of the Invisigal slander. It also explains why it started in TikTok.

I love Ivy and I love this new fan made animation someone made for her and it reminded me of the Z-Team and how she could actually join them.

Like I can imagine the interview with Blazer going a lot like in the video.

And I think her powerset, skills and personality would be a great addition to the Z-Team.

And she is also a former mercenary who wants to be better. She is basically an ideal Phoenix Program candidate.

Oh and btw here is the link to the video:

I keep hearing people say he was trying to get her off him when he touches her waist the first time but I mean it's pretty vague to be honest.

Considering she disappears when he touches her there again on the lean in option, is it possible she just doesn't want to be that intimate?

Even then both him grabbing her waist and her grabbing his arm is quite gentle.

So which is it?

This is a personal question I know but still I wanna ask since we feel things very deeply have you ever had a romantic kiss?

And how did it make you feel?

My first ever romantic kiss was from my girlfriend who I have been with for 4 years now. She is amazing.

We had feelings for each other but we never actually knew if the other one felt the same way.

Then one night she did a surprise kiss on me and it was amazing.

She was nice and gentle and it felt like finally letting it all out.

I mean isn't the whole point of attacking SDN just so he can get the astral pulse?

Don't they also say during the attack to find the pulse?

The attack does also serve to weaken the heroes and to prove Red Ring dominace which would be accomplished either way but still.

The whole attack on SDN was definitely planned way before the bar scene likely because Shroud thought Visi gave it to Robert.

But then when he learns that Robert doesn't know where it is, he thinks Visi is screwing him too. In his mind this does track because Shroud believes Visi to be a selfish person that is only out for herself.

So if he knows this why wouldn't he just try to get Invisigal to get her to tell him where she did the pulse and forget about the big attack?

I get the idea that Shroud is lying. I mean he lies about how he killed Robert's dad and manipulates often.

But then why did he let his goons give her a mask and just walk away?

Isn't that creating more problems for him? Especially if he knows Robert fell for her?

Also Visi looks ashamed and guilty when he says it. Almost like it's true.

So what is it?

Why let her go like this? Did he actually think she was still working for him?

And if so why? And what's up with that two paychecks line?
