14:47 xander hairbrush/bruise/tattoos are the smoking guns imo
14:47	stump	i mean, the counterargument is that the hairbrush is a lie and the bruise and tattoos were makeup/temporarily applied but
14:47	stump	1) eve messed up the side of her face the bruise is on
14:47	stump	2) the tattoo is originally shown due to the accidental coffee spill
14:47	stump	and when she first presents it, she doesn't come clean about the connection to her name
14:48	xander	yeah, if the tattoo had been temporary she wouldn't have been caught off guard talking about it I think
14:49	stump	and, like, the most obvious explanation for why it looks shitty and shiny is because the actress doesn't have the tattoo and it's a low budget game, like duh
14:49	xander	right, it probably *is* temporary in real life
14:49	xander	which has the pleasant side effect of being a cool red herring for people to argue over
14:50	stump	also a lot of the DID theory then follows with "and this is not a good portrayal of DID unfair blah blah blah media criminalizes crazy blah blah blah"
14:50	stump	so, it also sort of assumes a lack of good faith on the part of the author
14:50	xander	it's funny how good a story that comes down to "was it twins or magic split personalities??" is
14:51	xander	like, the two lamest cliche mystery reveals
14:51	stump	also, i don't know much about DID (honestly the only shrink I ever knew well was a skeptic of it and did a lot of work with prisoners who frequently used it to try to get out of crimes) but i'm not sure why in a DID case she would ask factual questions
14:51	stump	like
14:51	stump	"is this camera recording"
14:51	stump	across both personalities
14:53	stump	and the rehearsedness and phonyness of her "i tried the lock, i went in, i touched the kettle" etc statement seemed like that wouldn't work in the DID framework, like they'd avoid getting caught quite so obviously
14:57	stump	translating the tap code
14:57	stump	first tap video is LOVE U
14:57	xander	right, there's just too much that assumes the writer didn't do any research if you wholeheartedly buy into the DID thing
14:58	stump	most of the people in the thread pushing the DID are basically saying "LOL ITS OBVIOUSLY DID IDIOTS DID YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT WAS TWINS" with no explanation, evidence, or elaboration
14:58	stump	so
14:59	xander	a lot of it seems to predicate on the feeling that "twins" is a corny reveal
15:00	xander	but DID is equally corny on its face, and yet the game isn't corny, so
