User blog:JakeTheSnake5347/Pathetic Pinhead proposal - Rip Blazkowicz

Meet my single most hated fictional character ever.

What's the Work?
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a first-person shooter video game published by Bethesda in 2017, being the sequel to 2014's The New Order. It takes place in the early 1960s, showing the Nazis conquering America after the latter unfortunately lost World War 2.

Who's Rip and what does he do?
Just watch this video and you'll get the general idea.

Immorality
Racist, homophobic, abusive, killed his son's dog directly or by proxy, sold people out to the Nazis (including BJ's mom), tries to kill his own son...it's no wonder the chapter where BJ confronts and kills him is titled "Monster".

He has one moment where he isn't being a dick, and that's when BJ had nightmares and Rip let him keep a BB rifle after helping him face his fears in the basement. However, this moment does absolutely nothing to excuse all the heinous shit he did to his family before or afterwards, especially since it was clearly not out of altruism as Rip says it himself that the noises BJ made in his sleep was constantly waking him up at night and "smacking sense into him till the cows come home" didn't work before.

Cowardice
He sold Zofia (as well as every last ethnic/sexual minority in the neighborhood with help from other like-minded neighbors) to the fucking Nazis. He claims he did it to earn a ranch in another state and because she got on his nerves, but saving his own skin was likely another factor.

Stupidity/Incompetence
He points a shotgun at BJ, who has quite the reputation of killing armies of Nazis all by himself, expecting it to work out in his favor. Needless to say, it doesn't and he gets his arm chopped off and an axe to his chest for the trouble.

And I'm not sure if this counts, but he's pretty hypocritical. He scorns BJ for being a murderer and Zofia for raising him that way, despite being the one who forced his son to shoot his own dog to teach him to be "strong". He's also an extreme racist despite marrying a Jewish woman.

Also, according to Zofia, he only married her for her father's money and then lost it all.

Lack of Charisma
Easy one; basically everybody in-universe hates his guts. BJ hates him to the point of murdering him, the family dog Bessie attacks him in one scene, Zofia (who only fell in love with him due to a monkey joke) regrets marrying him after realizing what a bastard he is, and you can find readables around the Blazkowiczes' family home that indicate his two closest friends cut off all ties with him after he became a failed businessman due to conning.

Hateability
On top of being a total asshole, everything about him is played completely seriously. I mean, Wolfenstein's not exactly for saccharine, but it's pretty hammy. Frau Engel and Hitler are very over-the-top, and Deathshead has some Faux Affably Evil charm thanks to Dwight Schultz's voice-acting. Rip doesn't have anything like that; he's just an unpleasant redneck from start to finish.

Final Verdict
He's an easy yes, but I just wanna express my opinion just a tad more:

Overall, you could compare him to pretty much any other Hate Sink out there, and my answer to "which one do you think is the worse?" would be Rip every single time. I have nothing positive to say about this man at all and this is coming from someone who sympathizes with Lotso, Kilgrave, Eobard Thawne, Lord Shen, Bane and Regime!Superman. So if anyone here votes no, for any reason at all, I just have to ask...WWWWHYYY?!!!?!
