I think when she's first announced people would love her because hot woman, and then after knowing her in the game they would be like "Briar fans are problematic" "Briar fans DNI" LMAOOOOOO But in the sense of "if Briar was a male character, they would love her even if she did unethical experiments but since she's a woman they would act like she's the devil" lol because you know how this fandom tends to treat certain... female... characters... 🤨

That, or they would completely destroy her character trying to woobify her and saying things like "Briar did nothing wrong actually Rose was manipulating her, she didn't know what she was doing 🥺" as if Briar wasn't a murder apologist (and Lysandre's literal ex fiancé) and a mad scientist, among other things for example

And if you ask me, both endings would be equally as bad for me LOL
