I feel like Pomni's character is just wish washy in general and not really well thought out.
>She hates horror and jumpscares
>Yet she explored abandoned buildings for fun
>She treats the NPCs like they're real
>Yet she then laughs at Jax tormenting an NPC
>She gives an entire therapy talk to Gummigoo
>Yet doesn't want to do it for Gangle for an unexplained reason
It's like Pomni is just whatever gooseworx needs her to be for any given moment.

Obvious h8er thread I will not bump but
>She hates horror and jumpscares
>Yet she explored abandoned buildings for fun
Anyone who does urbex will tell you it's not "horror" themed. Worst case is you encounter a bum and no one has said Pomni doesn't have her CCL.
>She treats the NPCs like they're real
>Yet she then laughs at Jax tormenting an NPC
That's just a woman thing. Gummigoo and Jax made her wet and were therefore "real" people. Anti-Jax was a beta (like you) and so him being tormented was funny.
>She gives an entire therapy talk to Gummigoo
>Yet doesn't want to do it for Gangle for an unexplained reason
Gangle literally re-masked and cut her off as she was about to. She only tried passing the buck to Ragatha because Pomni is the newbie and doesn't know Gangle as well. With Gummigoo and Kinger she was literally trapped and alone with them.
>It's like Pomni is just whatever gooseworx needs her to be for any given moment.
And it's like you're intentionally arguing in bad faith.

You say as if that isn't scary, specially for a woman alone. Besides, there might be worse things in those, like actual gang members and shit, depending where you live.
>That's just a woman thing. Gummigoo and Jax made her wet and were therefore "real" people. Anti-Jax was a beta (like you) and so him being tormented was funny.
There's not really an organic transition between her thinking they're like real people and just NPCs.

Third time you've made this post even after you've been told why you're wrong. And Pomni covered for Gangle at the end of the episode to help her out which is much better than a therapy talk and literally saved Gangle from abstatction.

Yeah I know, you made this exact same point in the TADC general but you're a dumb brown shit starter who felt this warranted a separate thread.

You're expecting logic from a woman. Take a look at this board, women want to fuck fictional characters ALL THE TIME.
Pomni wanted the gummi goo in her clussy. That's why Gummigoo was "real" to her just like all the fat tumblrinas who want Sans to cum in them and treat him as if he were real.

Pomni is consistently written as a straight woman. Guys she's attracted to are real even if they're not, and guys that dry her aren't aren't real even if they are. Best writing I've seen for a woman in a cartoon yet desu.

Her deciding against trying to bring Gummigoo back again in episode 4 is her acceptance that she shouldn't try and seek companionship in an AI

After 2 of them I would be pretty drained too. She makes up for it anyway by taking over her shift at the end.

So then she's suddenly laughing at their torment when it's Jax doing it? That doesn't feel like a smooth transition.

Nothing scary about exploring old buildings. I'm sure she made some homeless men very happy.

I already did? Urbex =/= horror
>muh gangs
Pomni is clearly from an affluent American neighborhood. I did some urbex in college (look up MIT roof and tunnel hackers) and the scariest part isn't a "jumpscare" it's fucking getting stuck or falling down a shaft or off a roof or something.
Is doing motorcycle jumps like Evil Kinevil also "horror" because adrenaline and scary shit is involved? No, "horror" has an actual definition which involves a pursuant threat like a ghost or serial killer. Thrill seeking is not the same as being a horror fan - case in point look up the 2022 movie Fall. The premise of the movie is terrifying as fuck but
>Fall is a 2022 survival psychological thriller
It is a THRILLER not a HORROR because horror involves a pursuant danger. TERROR is also not HORROR and the only people that need this explained are third world brownoids attention farming for the Lord only knows what reason

Case in point, one of the earliest personifications of Horror was in Oedipus
For most well-adjusted people like me, finding out you fucked your own mother and killed your father in the process would be HORRIFYING.
However, for some sick fucks on this board (including you), I'm sure the experience would be THRILLING
Do you see how THRILLS and HORRORS are not the same thing?

Nothing suggests this. She said she worked in supermarket.

There's actual gang members in some of these buildings, drug deals, wild animals, homeless people. There's a lot of scary stuff that comes with urban exploration. It simply makes no sense why she likes one but not the other.

Urbex contains things that are scary and could be considered horror. It makes no sense for Pomni to be into it.

looking back I can agree that not liking horror/fear clashes a bit with exploring abandoned buildings for fun but its not aa big of an issue as you think it is. It seems more like she’s just not a hardcore fan of horror as something custom tailored to induce fear whereas maybe to her urban exploration is intersting because of how things used to be or the history of the location and it isnt about the creepiness.

Are you autistic? Do you not understand nuance at all?
>She hates horror and jumpscares
>Yet she explored abandoned buildings for fun
People have a complicated relationship with fear, that complication is the impetus behind horror movie appreciation and stuff like extreme sports. I am the opposite of Pomni, I love horror movies because that is a comfortable/cathartic way for me to experience fear, but I do not enjoy thrill seeking behavior in real life. Pomni clearly has an adventurous side to her, and simply doesn’t associate her explorations with superstition. Horror films, on the other hand, are there to bring the fear to you, and can frighten or disgust you by what is literally portrayed. This suggests that she gets invested in fiction but isn’t superstitious in real life. Not a contradiction.
>She treats the NPCs like they're real
>Yet she then laughs at Jax tormenting an NPC
Pomni had to learn that NPCs aren’t real, her initial reaction was an extreme “buying in” to the artifice. This illusion was shattered at Spudsy’s. What you’re seeing is not a contradiction, but a character evolving with experience.
>She gives an entire therapy talk to Gummigoo
>Yet doesn't want to do it for Gangle for an unexplained reason
Pomni’s initial comment was a small self deprecating joke (and a joke for the audience), realizing that her big therapy speeches are a pattern of behavior (and setting up the subversion that episode when talk no jutsu doesn’t make it all okay). Her pushing the conversation off of herself and onto Ragatha was Pomni recognizing that she doesn’t know Gangle as well as someone else might, and that she can’t really impose over something she doesn’t completely understand. In the end Pomni was still there for her, in the way she knew how to be.

I swear people go looking for problems that aren’t there.

Ragatha does try to mother others, and just because it’s coming from a good place doesn’t mean they have to like it.

It's not really a subtle change when she goes from Solemnly accepting they aren't real to laughing at one getting tormented.

It’s not meant to be subtle. In that moment she is beginning to edge towards Jax’s way of viewing the digital world, that’s the whole drama with Ragatha.

>>151640417
Gotta be honest you're really fucking weird, because that is super uncommon, and those interests/non-interests are really contradictory, so you would make a really boring fictional character as you wouldn't seem like you had consistent characterization. Possible, but weird. Usually with people like you, they don't actually dislike horror movies they just haven't built up a tolerance for them yet, or they're picking the wrong types of horror movies. You'd probably like psychological horror, but are sensitive to music and fx changes. Jump scares and screeching sounds still get me every time even when I know it's coming, but now I jump then laugh. Urban exploring tends to raise the same fear response as horror movies, because if you get caught or stuck you are going to die or are going to jail. It's not the 90s anymore so most people just do houses now, but people used to wander through underground tunnels and caves n shit too. It's horrifying in the sense it's exhilarating, which is the same sensation you get from horror movies and horror games. Doing flips, swimming, skateboarding, snowboarding, bmx, also trigger the same sensations.

You realize the urbex detail is how she got into tadc. Like her memory of the terminal/headset is in a decaying building Caine conversely shows a clean well lit version of the C&A dev building. Meaning she was exploring an abandoned building found a terminal and put the headset on. This is supported by the implication of Ragatha the second longest staying member of tadc not recognizing Jax's Breaking Bad reference.

That said people can be nuanced. Just because Day of the Dead doesn't scare me doesn't mean I can't be spooked by Ernest's Halloween.
