Mount Massive Asylum makes Arkham look like a proper hospital for the mentally ill.

[@agentorange9867]

To be fair, one is an actual prison for superhumans, other is a cover up front for a human expirimentation lab, so it is only natural that one is professional, while other looks like a hellhole.

[@youtubestayatyourrootsforfsake]

@@agentorange9867 Lol, Arkham is anything but professional, most of the staff is either incompetent as hell, corrupt or insane people themselves. It's no wonder the inmates escape all the time. Especially because according to the lore, the Asylum was at the end of the day never supposed to be a Supermax prison (because of being, well a hospital for the mentally ill, not a prison), meaning even with all the high-tech special containment units and if the staff were purely benevolent and competent at their job, the security measures would still be never good enough to safely incarcerate superhumans (several of whom are technically speaking not even exactly criminally insane and would be actually more fitting for Blackgate)

[@docnightmares8291]

​@@youtubestayatyourrootsforfsakeDon't forget that Arkham's most dangerous inmate isn't even a superhuman, but a human man who looks like a clown, always finds a way to break out minutes after being thrown back in.

[@youtubestayatyourrootsforfsake]

@@docnightmares8291 Exactly. Realistically speaking, Joker shouldn't even be an inmate of Arkham, but rather rotting away in Blackgate, either on death row or for the rest of his life in the maximum-security area. While there's no denying that he's supremely fucked in the head, he's not actually "insane", as in "not liable for his actions". Considering how he has proven time and time again his ability to plan and execute very complex schemes, he's totally aware of his actions and it's consequences, therefore in real life, the insanity plea probably wouldn't work in his case and he would be tried and sentenced to death or to a life sentence in an actual prison. But that's Gotham's totally not incompetent/corrupt judicial system we're dealing with here I guess.

outlast whistleblower is what any dlc should look to be adding to the story without interfering with the main story (miles and waylen were still seperate even tho they were fighting for their lives at the same time) and isn't a cash grab and for me personally sexual crimes are way more horrid and horrible than violent crimes which is why sexual criminals and people who do vile sexual acts I consider to be the most sick of people which is what eddie perfectly captures and he taps into a sexual fear not many horror genres do these days (mostly because of how much of a taboo and inappropriate topic it is relative to violent acts)

[@elongatedmanforever1252]

Eddie making people his wife is all kinds of weird.

[@bimates2690]

True, but ranking crimes as “worst” than others, which can be equally as bad, creates a hierarchy. Especially when it comes to its victims and/or family (esp when involving children of any type of crime). All crimes, except maybe things like petty theft, are horrible and can be traumatic to its victims. It shouldn’t be a competition. I think that’s one of the things I most disliked as being a csa/cocsa survivor. What happened to me? Other victims of different serious crimes should be given the same amount of respect and awareness. Nothing more, nothing less. No “there’s special evil” mindset. Their and my perp(s) should equally all seen as the pos they are.

[@jacej355]

​@@bimates2690 I agree with that point of view regarding crimes, each crime is horrible and shouldn't be ranked by awfulness, the only things that should differentiate the treatment of the criminals are the victims they create, those that create more victims should be treated worse though none are innocent or 'better' than another of the criminals.

[@xadalau9758]

I praised Eddie to my brother when we both played Outlast, saying: "He is the kind of villain that makes a man feel what a woman feelss". On this same topic, I don't know if he'd be less or more terrifying if there were female inmates in Mount Massive.

[@bimates2690]

@@jacej355 Human rights and justice are still a thing. There is why Norway is more progressive in terms of justice and their treatment of criminals. Norway has a belief of rehabilitation. They still give human rights, but loss of some freedoms, to inmates. Regardless, of what they done. Because the focus is on rehabilitation. So, if they return to society, they can be productive members of society. Instead, of repeating the cycle.

Playing the dlc and seeing him for the first time made me absolutely terrified, like I have never been scared of a character that much, hearing his voice singing through the halls behind you as he chased you is one of the most bone chilling experiences I’ve ever experienced in gaming. During the part where he dragged you in the locker I was panicking because I wanted to be no where near this man and when I saw the table saw, my heart dropped instantly, I almost puked multiple times watching that grotesque scene. What also scares me the most about him is the fact that he has such a warped sense of reality that compels him to do these absolutely horrific acts for “love” is just utterly bone chilling. One of the most haunting characters in gaming in my opinion, thank you for shedding more light on him.

I get how insane and grotesque Eddie is once he is free from the engine, but I personally think he isn't the most "vile" villain in the game. That title belongs to Richard Trager. Before and after the engine, that guy was just a full blown, A grade scum bag. Obviously not excusing Eddies horrific crimes, they are absolute nightmare fuel. But if we are digging into the history of each character and what they were like before and after the morphogenic engine, Trager definitely takes the cake.

That was honestly the only thing I could think of while watching this along with his backstory. In general a lot of people have Grooms back story. I know five people irl including myself with his similar backstory and someone was a guy. Yet when we see the statistics that pent up aggression and hate isn't directed upon the men that hurt them but other women and children. So Groom's reaction sadly is a pretty common accurate reaction too. The only thing that puzzles me though, he doesn't have a fear or is wary of other men but I guess everyone to him is a to soon be wife/woman.

For the game to have a character like Eddie Gluskin is incredible and terrifying. His character ties in to how monsters are made; either nature or nurture. In his case, it's nurture as his father and uncle did horrible things to him and his mother did nothing. Then even more so when he's put into that experimentation that corrupted his body and mind, creating the monster we see now. I was very amazed how they built up his story from the beginning to how he met his end. While I do feel bad for what he went through in the past, it doesn't excuse what he did in Mount Massive. Great video! Very informative!

[@mandalorianhunter1]

Can't believe it's been a decade since the original outlast. I been thinking about legend of Korra with it's second season coming out around the time of the first game. The insanity of what happened in the game and knowing stuff like this happens elsewhere is insane

My love for outlast cannot be expressed. This game is my all time favorite, I have the story memorized front to back and have played it many many times. I’m so so happy people still talk about it.

[@MysticMorigan1998]

As a woman, I want to say thank you for uploading this. Because men especially tend to forget how often other men are dangerous. "NOT ALL MEN!" They exclaim. But we don't know if we're dealing with an Eddie or a Waylon. And it's not that women can't be as deplorable as men, oh we're all human and capable of deplorable actions. But because the world is mostly men focused, they get the most chances to go and do far worse things.

[@MysticMorigan1998]

Like, all too often I feel like guys in general don't understand how depraved other men can be. I'll never play Outlast. I have a low tolerance for gore and heinous crimes. But I feel like the developers really nailed it here. They put men in a similar role to what women have a higher chance of experiencing. There's noting salacious or cheap or forced feeling here; it's real and true horror. It's not raw, it's not a nightmare or real life where you really are trapped. But it's a simulation that absolutely shows the pure disparity and sickness that men do.

[@lifebeautiful6389]

@@MysticMorigan1998 Yes. People may say it's not a women-only fear, and yes, some men are victims as well. However, there are countless, COUNTLESS known cases of torture focused on female genitalia and it's horrific, because it's easy for these deranged killers to not view another gender as being human. Perverted obsessions, condoned violence, and having no idea how female anatomy works, all contributes to the extremely disproportionate numbers of victims between men and women.

[@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer]

If it wouldn't get him totally demonetised, I would say he needs to do Muraki from the VN/manga/anime Descendants of Darkness. Necrophilic hospital director with a hero complex who unleashes plagues so he can cure them for good press. The MC starts investigating and just finds more and more horrible things about the guy. Like he picks and chooses who he "saves," killing those who would cause maximum suffering (like the only child of a barren woman, spouses of already depressed or alcoholic patients, the most beloved of a group of siblings) which allows him to console them in such a way as to drain their wealth, and he has hidden cameras throughout to capture every moment of grief. Or that when a favoured patient needs a transplant, he tracks a previously saved patient down and kills them for the organ. Eventually he learns of the investigation *and falls for the MC!* And the MC is *male* himself, _but Muraki wants a family...._ One possible path is *he kidnaps and 🍇 your mother* and delivers the baby as "our son," then mindfucks the MC into enjoying being his "wife" and becoming his accomplice (the live action followed this path) Not only is he epicly deranged _it's implied his kill count is in the 5 digits due to releasing contagious disease so much,_ and he successfully framed numerous colleagues, destroying their lives and careers. _An absolute menace to society from every angle!_ 😬 Also if the child is female it's delivered, killed, and fed back to your mother "until the stupid 🐴 gets it right" 😖 _At least AM only hates you and wants you to suffer!_ Imagine Eddie with the omnipotent detective skills of Batman and the limitless super wealth and scientific knowledge of Tony Stark And if you pursue an option to kill him, _you find out after the unsuccessful attempt he is in fact, a vampire, and has been doing this since the 6th century_

[@EdwardHimself01]

finished outlast and thought that chris walker was one of the best antagonists i’d ever seen because of how he’s always a looming unstoppable threat akin to mr x in re2, then the next day i played the dlc and immediately reranked chris walker, the section with eddie had me grimacing the whole time because of what the implications of him catching waylan would mean, with chris if you’re caught it’s over within seconds as he just tears your head off, with eddie it feels like you’re condemned to an excruciatingly long un winnable saw trap with the threat of sexual assault, the game definitely does a good job of making you feel vulnerable

Really cool and extensive video on who I think is Red Barrels’ best villain. For someone so vile, it’s strangely nice to see an old face. 😂 Gluskin was (still is) my favorite villain. Having *been* a fan of The American Quartet, you can imagine my horror walking into his domain. He is consistently and realistically horrifying for both men and women. I always hated the little tumblr fanfics he accumulated because I felt like it wrote over everything that made Gluskin GLUSKIN. “He’s making women to kill them.” It’s just a level of hatred I haven’t seen. His intro, set up, second intro and death is so perfect and an iconic Outlast moment. I can go on. This was everything a DLC should be. Nice to revisit Mount Massive a decade later. (Trager was always a close second.) Would love to work on the Red Barrels team one day. Love them.

[@ptrnryv]

there's an interesting component to the groom's behavior here O.O most sexual and gender-related horror is focused on female victims; an major exception is the Alien franchise, where the most horrifying thing the producers could think of is an unknown, growing thing bursting its way out of your stomach (to mimic pregnancy, not intended on the alien's part obviously). that is the MOST horrifying thing they could think of. it's interesting here, watching as a trans person with a background in medicine, chemistry, and psychology with a focus on trauma, how they went so in detail about non-consensual and butchered sex changes. it def makes me sweat a little bit

As a transdude playing Outlast, Eddie scared the fuck outta me. First game since a SH boss I had to put the controller down for a "Oh fuck no" moment. Shame he was a short boss cause as a villain he's a brilliant character and deserved to have as much screentime as Chris or Frank. Just look at that gymnasium ceiling and his domain, dude was handling business in just 24-48 hours.

[@GLoLChibs]

@veronis Well, think about it. As several commentors have said, what disturbed them about Eddie was they were guys playing the game, and along comes this big bastard chasing them down to turn them into women. That entire section disturbed a lot of guys playing and understandably so. Visceral reactions to him. Coming from a transguy...someone who already grew up with people pushing me and hounding me to be more girl like and trying to force it...shit hits waayy different. Resulting in, like I said, first game since SH2 released a game gave me the "what the fuck" moment I had to walk away. Talk to women that played the game, the ones that weren't drooling over him were pretty disturbed by him for reasons stemming from a woman's experience. He's that rare character wherein the player's gender and life experience can make his section really stand out and hit different compared to another player.
