I agree!
Owl does seem more like a villain, he added Amber, why? To stir up more drama? He already had obsidian playing up the role.. so why mix everything up?
It’s like he wants to mess with him. I’m starting to question what owls objective is.. I can’t possibly be people finding love.. right?
Exactly. And I see comments people hating on platinum smh when he's literally innocent, just a victim of manipulation from the ML's show to LITERALLY GARNER VIEWERS from the people.
Platinum have been forcing himself on Obsidian since they met. That’s why most of us hate him. Even Obsidian prefered Alexandrite for his politeness and respect for her boundaries (no touch nor KISSING without her CONSENT).
Moon-Owl even tried to prevent Platinum advances on her in that “date” scene in the mountains. Platinum didn’t SAted her there thanks to the wolves Moon-Owl sent.
She did, but let me also add that she almost "got" feelings for platinum but of course moon-owl woke her up from her delusion. And as well as let's not forget that that she is a big fan of Jewel Box ever since she was young. I'm just putting it out here that, even though platinum has been forcing himself on her. She knew exactly what she was going into, tho it might be forced. She knew what the show was capable of. (Later in the chapters, it was revealed that sleeping with each other is allowed and that was the part where she was unsure if she was capable of performing - so I'm just putting it out that she knew exactly what she was going into) And let's not forget that it's Moon-owl himself who forced her to join the show and used her weakness against her (being in an abusive relationship and offering a way out by joining the jewel box).
Tho I am against SA and anything of that sort and I'm not saying platinum is any innocent. I'm just saying that both moon-owl and Obsidian isn't that pure or innocent either.
Obsidian was forced to perform in a show in which she had no choice from.
While Moon-owl himself is the show's puppet master. Controlling how the show would go on
Platinum is only a contender, who wasn't aware anything of that sort. All he knows is that obsidian "might" be Marianne, as moon,-owl forced obsidian to act like her and Mariane was also portrayed in the manga as a woman who had an elicit affair with lots and lots of men(AND ILL JUST REMIND IT AGAIN THAT, even Obsidian knew this and still joined the jewel box event.)
I'll ask u, who forced and offered a deal that obsidian can't reject so that she joins the jewel box? It's none other than Moon-owl himself. He is the game dev/puppet master.
Right? And people are pointing out the fact platinum forced himself on her.. which is true.. but where was moon-owl.. the controller?
I think they forget owl isn’t some night in shinning armor.
Why are people so one sided here? Its all about perspective.
Obsidian joined to escape his husband, get a divorce and redeem the life she had lost
Pearl and Red head(I don't remember) joined for marriage
Amethyst, joined to find someone who would love her without her title as "saintess"
Alexandrite, I'm not quite sure what he's in it for bit maybe it's for love as well
Platinum joined the competition with the idea that Marianne would be in the competition. The "who is a liar game" proves that if obsidian was lying to him, he'd feel nothing hate but hate on her because she lied to him (in our generation today that's what we call CATFISHING). Looking at his backstory, tho it was short, he lived an awful life and tried redeeming himself after watching Marianne in the season 4 show. (Right after the competition, he wanted to live his to the fullest and changed. Then just by seeing Marianne happy that was enough for him). To be honest, I find platinum very pure willing to sacrifice his whole-self for Marianne and the fact that he joined for pure love. And that's why he is call platinum because platinum is PURE.
My question is, why is it that people has been hating him when the broadcast has beenn pre-determined by moon-owl himself. (Platinum doubting obsidian, adding Orange girl, and suddenly making himself one of the prospects)
Seems to me that they're playing right under moon-owl's palms. Don't get me wrong, but he seems more like the villain rather than the MC.
Just my cup of tea, don't get me wrong I'm team Moon-owl but Platinum does not deserve to be treated as the Villain here.
