This is such a good depiction of trauma. It's crazy and irrational how Rocio's logic works, but that's exactly how someone traumatized thinks. I love it.

This is the first horror “game” that actually creeped me tf out. The images, sound effects, and the message behind this game being girlhood trauma is incredibly eerie to me as a girl myself. I was actually scared because i knew the things that happened in this “fictional” game could happen to me in real life, and has already happened to many others. Im honestly surprised game theories covered this because it is just so dark imo.

One of the most univseral traits of the Hanged Man is the idea of self-sacrifice. Self-Sacrifice in an attempt to help others, but not in an ideal position. Other qualities are confinement and feeling trapped. Those of the Reversed Hangman typically shown to make rash and impulsive decisions, less of a careful sacrifice and more "Whatever happens happens"

I like how it's not horror, but the truth and the lies are depicted as fun and bright things, like in the first game where she dresses up and goes to a date, that's not how it works. The stalker comes in but not as a person but a monster. It makes children scared of the truth, but as they progress they find out about the lies and piece everything together to find the moral in all the minigames. It's how they portray the game that makes it so outstanding, it's fun and bright until the truth ruins it. Very creative.

Hehehe, true, irl I experience this but I woke up when my aunt kept on waking me up. Its hard, you feel like drowning from the worries you never had to worry, the thoughts you never have to think, and works you never have to do. Then, when you realize, you just get this feeling of a strong gust of wind blowing towards your face and end up worrying about the things you need to worry, thoughts that makes questions and perfect sense of what when where how, and works you need to do to grow and catch up to your age. Not all can be awake in an early age and not everyone experiences the same level of hardships and problem to drown in this vicious problem. And not everyone gets to live and wake up before realizing things they actually miss growing up and supposedly living life.

Your point about her thinking she's protecting the youth through brutal honesty really struck me as that's something i've done (mostly unknowingly) before. Telling younger girls i know about situations i've been in when they bring events up, warning them about potential dangers of their activities and what can happen to them if they're not careful, all out of a genuine desire to help and stop them experiencing what i have. It took me a lot of therapy to realise that that was not the way i should have been going about it

I've never been through the experiences I teach about, but I honestly just dk how to talk to kids I'm close to without...yk, delving _there_ if the context pops up. I didn't know those things at their age, or maybe I did but I was never really given an explanation. It was just "don't do this, don't go there" etc etc. I'm trying to be subtle, but honestly at times it feels impossible to not dump all of the knowledge onto their young minds. I'm kind about it ofc, not brash, but I just keep thinking "the earlier they know, the better, it'll stick with them way harder", and for the most part it does click. But I just dk if I'm doing the right thing...

I seriously doubt that was Rocio's intention. I'm pretty sure she was just using the site to vent out her traumas and was indifferent to what the kids who played on the site thought. Like, if she really cared about them, don't you think she'd be a bit more hesitant to expose them to such blatantly disturbing imagery? I do agree that Grace was a heartless b*tch though.

Honestly, I applaud Tom for talking about a series like this. As much as I love MatPat I can't imagine him wanting to write a theory about this. But Tom did, and he did it while raising awareness about real subjects, he was as unfiltered as possible, and approached the subject with the appropriate level of caution and sensitivity. Much respect. This was the first webseries to make me cry.

14:02 I don't think the point of Jay's Skating Game is that "recklessness leads to fatality." I mean, it had already been established that Jay was killed off because mothers complained about her being a tomboy. It's not like Rocio killed off her character because she wanted to advise kids about the dangers of being reckless, she killed her off to spite the parents who complained about her.

It feels to me like Jay might have had that happened to her, losing parts of her friend circle, which would explain why she drove (I hope that's the word) recklessly intentionally, not caring about consequences like death.

By the logic of the theory, Rocio would be the embodiment of "Just because you are correct, doesn't mean you are right". Alphasnow made a funny observation of Rocio trying to be a Don Bluth with the dark tones, however the difference is that Don Bluth believed in the idea of "You can tell any story to a kid as long as you give them a happy ending", in order to bring the idea that through hardships and struggles, the enjoyment of a reward feels better. Again, following the logic of the theory, Rocio would despise that idea because the whole point is that there's no happy endings, otherwise where is her happy ending? She believes that the only through raw and crude reality is ideal for kids to learn and truly be ready for what life can be. Like you said, right message, worst possible delivery.

A more grounded in reality look at the ending would be that Rocio realized that being online was triggering her old trauma, and bringing out the worst parts of her past. The imagery of her being wrapped in computer cables would be a physical representation of her, feeling trapped by her online life. Deleting herself, then, would mean abandoning her old life and creating a new identity. But she wasn’t able to let go of the website and the games because she still believes that the message she was trying to convey was important. Those little glimpses of her interacting could be her using the one connection to her past she still has, the website and the games, to see if anything has changed, or wondering about her old friends and using the website to try and check on them. I don’t know what’s more tragic, someone so consumed by their trauma that they end up converting themselves into a part of the games they made to try and escape it, or someone that did literally everything they could, including inventing a new identity, to escape their past, and still finding themselves drawn back to it.

Thanks for covering the series, I'm really glad to see it appreciated! Saw the comments saying that a lot of crucial stuff was omitted or missed out, but honestly, I think the message was conveyed well anyways. You don't have to see every part of the protagonist's suffering to figure out how bad it was and to understand the story in general. Also, just taking the chance to appreciate the art style of Lacey Games. It doesn't look like your average GGG game, with vivid colors and polished design; but it sure does look like a bunch of drawings from a sad disturbed teen from 10-15 years ago. The style is replicated almost perfectly and makes me incredibly nostalgic. It also further shapes out Rocio's character; she feels like a kid I could have known back in the day.

As someone who frequented the GGG website (it's either GoGirlsGames or GirlsGoGames, can't quite remember) as a kiddo, the Lacey's Games series really makes me feel nostalgic, especially with that website jingle? These pictures are exactly the same- /Lh But, on a serious note, the fact that this is a series about traumatic experiences, as well, leaves me feeling so much more exposed in a way that a lot of these other nostalgia-trigger analog series' just haven't achieved for me. Lacey's Games hits way too close to home for anyone to really sit comfortably, which I think was the point from the start. Trauma isn't really supposed to be comfortable.

I really appreciate Tom giving the warnings in the beginning because I'm not sure if I would have braced myself as much as I did without them! But just how Rocio's logic of bringing justice by teaching girls what "reality" is like and how she had no supportive figures in her life brings up a lot of thoughts. I think this hit me more AFTER the video ended and I started thinking about it all.

I saw a Hoarders episode where a woman was abused and traumatized by her husband so badly that her only outlet was cooking. She'd use maggots, raw meat, and dead animals for dinner recipes as a passive-aggressive way of expressing her anger and trauma. The Lacey's Diner segment is actually oddly realistic.

Obviously Lacey touches on some very harsh topics but I think it shows it in the most raw and creative way it can, not just for shock value. There's so much more to come since this is still an on going series so I hope to see it pop back onto this channel soon

9:53 this comment is being made as I am watching, but I have a theory on this. I think the horrible images are here so Rocio can cope and accept her past as part of who she is now. She made these scenes to say “I used to be abused and beaten, but I was able to escape. Even if I’m still haunted by him. I won in the end.”

I have a suspicion that Lacey might not just be fictional to Rocio. You mentioned that Lacey was “invented to embody Rocio’s hopes and dreams” and I think that’s even more true than we thought. When a person endures extreme trauma, they can dissociate and invent a new persona to fulfill needs. This is referred to as dissociative identity disorder. It certainly sounds like Rocio disaster after killing her uncle. That would be when Lacey was created. It looks to me like Lacey and Rocio are struggling with creative differences regarding the games.

@@midnalazuli793 you’ve probably heard of “multiple personalities”. That’s a pop-culture misunderstanding of a real condition called dissociative identity disorder. When someone experiences something very traumatic, they may _dissociate._ This basically means they mentally detach from their feelings and their experiences. In rarer cases, a second step can occur where a second personality is invented to take on the pain, to protect or comfort them or embody some need they have. Rocio experienced extreme trauma, sat on her bed unable to move for days, and came up with Lacey, who embodied her dreams of living a happier life. You could take this at face value, say that Lacey is merely a fictional character to Rocio, but the conditions are certainly right for her to be more. Two personas in the same body aren’t always aware of each other. In a way, both of them are the “original” person and they act accordingly. They can end up in a sort of conflict this way. See how Rocio seems unhappy with the contents of some of the games. I’d guess that Lacey made them and Rocio didn’t agree with the direction she took.

@@Fluffkitscripts My interpretation was that Rocio initially did have good intentions and wanted to create a safe space for children online to play, but at some point, she snapped mentally and began using Lacey Games to vent out her traumas by projecting them onto the character she created. There's without a doubt some kind of connection between Rocio and Lacey, the videos make that very clear, but I don't believe that it's so extreme, Rocio believes she actually IS Lacey, but that's just my own personal opinion.

As someone with OSDD-1b (basically DID lite)... it requires you to have had trauma as a kid. Which absolutely fits here - so I wouldn't see it as impossible. This also brings up questions of which killed the Uncle (which I can't fault them for honestly) and how that affects their relationship...

as a male myself i can confirm that although there are dangerous men out there, there are also men that would actually want to try and help (and be disgusted if any other men did some [redacted] stuff.) even though i never heard of the game series until now i must say this video goes really deep and hits hard, even if some elements had to be avoided due to youtube's monetizing restrictions. (and if you want to end it all, slash yourself, etc ... just know that even with the world being mainly hateful there are still beacons of hope out there, you just gotta find them amidst the ocean.) i have rambled enough now, great video though, and its sad seeing that it takes effort to fix a person, but nothing to break a person.

I did not expect this to take a Serial Experiments Lain turn... wow and also this video was quite heavy, I found myself shutting my brain off and unconsciously stop listening to what was happening several times, having to force myself to rewind the video to catch the bits that I missed again. It's always a good thing to learn about some people's realities though, no matter how dark or uncomfortable they might be. I really hope everyone can stay safe out there, and I wish more victims speak up about their abuse and damage. Everyone deserves to be heard and helped.
