Reading the archives, it feels like all the "Tenna is too similar to Spamton" accusations came from posters who didn't actually play the game and just wanted to bait. Before ch3+4 people assumed Tenna was gonna be irredeemably evil and that's where all the doomposting that he would be diet Spamton came from.
Then it turns out, he was NOTHING like the super evil sexyman everyone thought he was gonna be(thanks Spamton). He was this emotionally sensitive BPD softie who's manipulative in a menhera way but not a sinister scheeming way. How is that in any way similar to mr Spamton G "sells you a ring to commit genocide" Spamton?
I honestly don't understand the thought process that leads someone to assume they're similar, is it just autism? Are autistic people unable to tell the difference between someone who's naturally charismatic and someone who tries to be charismatic but is obviously super suspicious?
