I always think back to her cult of the lambs stream and how she handled her cult often. How she only knew how to do the easy stuff like cleaning up poop and cooking food and didn't really understand the more complicated mechanics. How she would just leave an angry cultist be, and instead of patiently checking how she could make them not angry again, she just chose to do the actually fun part and go dungeon diving again. And then how when the option arrived she immediately thought executing the troublemaker would make the problem go away instead of imprisoning them, because being imprisoned is apparently crueler than getting cut off entirely.
And how after maybe 2-3 hours of ignoring the problem, remembering that the cultists were technically stand-ins for her fans finally made her stop and read the comments on how to solve the problem without losing anyone.
It was an interesting insight into how she handles a crisis at a smaller somewhat relevant scale. That quite often it really is just her being incredibly incompetent and impatient at handling a crisis, that she prefers taking the path of least resistance, that she is just a stubborn boomer that takes awhile to get moving in the right direction. And that in the end when the fans are involved she does do the right thing, eventually, as long as she is shown the way.
Not partaking in the whole thing up thread or trying to persuade anyone about anything, this is just something I think back to really, really often. Especially the last week or two.
