Slight ego/selfmeta moment, I apologize:
In the last game I played here (was also town, for context), I gave townpoints to Arete for pushing me right out of the gate because I didn’t think a wolf would risk me obvtowning. Pretty dumb reason to townread someone, but it existed in my brain
I felt like Light was trying to grab the same cred
Along with the fact that his take is so anti-consensus that people read it and go ‘this is stupid. it probably comes from a villager’
But his take just… doesn’t seem real
It feels incredibly performative and fake
I think the depth and wording of the read has more to say about his alignment than who he’s reading as scum
