This isn't a security concern so unprivating. Also, ATT isn't the place for this query. This place is ask for questions regarding wiki policy and to report problems on the wiki. Best to go to the forums or another site entirely. Locking.

I feel like I'm opening a can of worms here, but I'm literally gonna go mad
So, I stopped reading this little spin off from the Blossomverse a long time ago after a lovely response by Green_Phantom_Queen from one of my criticisms, but after reading updates about the latest chapter (or more specifically the one before it) I feel like this needs some serious discussion:
So. to make a long story short: Chloe goes absolutely apesheet after Sara. with the power of the Unown, cripples Parker (oh no), merges Professor Cerise with an unown-made copy of himself to create a perfect version of her father (OH NO!) and is about to pull a Parker on all of Vermillion City all of spite. Professor Sycamore, the main character of the story, tries to talk her down, but not only does she rebukes him, but does so by tearing down his optimistic point of view and stating she's going to kill the culprit to stop them no matter what he said.
This hurts him bad enough, but then Specter (from Yu-Gi-Oh) talks her down by appeasing to her pessimism and does so in a way that makes the professor looks completely useless, which in turn causes him to go nuts.
The Professor merges with his shadow and intents to either destroy everything or Restart the World because he's grown sick of the story's growing pessimism and his inability to do jacksheet despite being the freaking main character, and he has to get his madness sealed before he kills everyone.
After all of this... the story tries to paint Chloe as having done nothing wrong, and instead show that Professor Sycamore is the one who needs to learn a lesson, not her.
Now, I don't know about you, but this looks to me like co-writer Green_Phantom_Queen (Spinnerette is the main author, but I haven't read her works that much, and even if I did, all this writing just reeks of Queen's traits) has learned absolutely nothing about the previous year or two writing the Blossomverse, but I do feel like this situation is a bit too complicated to see it like that.
So, what do you guys think? Is Chloe at fault? Is Professor Sycamore at fault? Is Specter at fault? Is nobody at fault? Just... let's try to reach a consensus here.
And note: Green_Phantom_Queen and Shady Missionary are not allowed here. This is for unbiased, third person opinions only.
