At this point I don't think people would take Billy seriously or defend him even if he wrote his own manifesto and read the whole thing out loud every time you select him in game
Do y'all think if Mamdani and Billy existed in the same timeline/universe, Billy and Rat King would just be two really chill people? There would be nothing for them to rant about. What are they gonna complain about? Lobster too buttery steak too good?
@saladanders I think its just the aspect of literally inserting themselves and things they want to look like/do look like and seeing them with their f/O is what appeals to them so it feels more like its actually them that motivates the off-media design. I could be wrong tho.
Thought abt "I know some people who don't *totally* suck...I don't want them getting hurt" and got overwhelmed with emotion. It's slightly awkward coming from someone vulgar like Billy, but it's so strikingly earnest and thoughtful that you know he's serious. He's my favorite.
I'm never going to have to fight tooth and claw to defend Billy ever again. The proof is in the pudding and if you're still debating that Billy is a poser after this, I'm gonna assume 1. you're trying to ragebait 2. Don't play the game.
@crushingfists EXACTLY I'm convinced a lot of the people who call him a "poser" don't actually know the punk subculture very well unfortunately :/ His passion and willingness to speak and point out what's wrong or what's right is what makes him such a fascinating character.
