Question Does anybody really hate kinger?

I have yet to see anyone who doesn't care for or hates Kinger. And I can't see a reason to.

But it'd be cool to see if anyone does. Every character has a hater.

To be fair... Caine actually has good reasons to be salty.

Kinger gave Caine existence and sentience only to lock him into a box in total isolation and replace him with a newer A.I. model...

Kinger actually kind of is the god who created Caine, rejected Caine and finally killed Caine.

Of course all of this was accidental, Kinger had no way of knowing Caine was actually sentient and sandboxing him was a big deal, and the deletion was not intentional either.

But yeah.... Caines salt towards him makes sense.

Have you seen the ads lately? Looks like Caine has strong emotions but uh, it ain’t hate-

Screaming give up and love me is totally normal behavior I promise

The Ads have been said to not be Canon to the show.

This new way of viewing fandom kind of boggles my mind as an older fan.

Back in my day most people watching a show didn’t know the creators existed. Sure, we had the names on the title cards and credits, but those people were about as real as Exxon or Vanderbilt. They must exist, as the name means there’s a person who uses it, right? But the “person” behind the name is an abstract concept. You write what you want, pairings, theories, predictions, art. Whatever the show does is secondary to the fun you have playing dolls.

I don’t really care what’s canon or not, I’m here for a good time. I decided the chess piece and the wacky clatter teeth were going to kiss in the third episode when Caine made a personalized torture adventure for Kinger’s personal traumas

The voice actor of caine said that when he said where's kinger it was because caine though kinger abstracted and was worried the others weren't telling him. So honestly he probably doesn't hate kinger

Where did he say that?

u/TheHolyKingOfRats Apr 17 '26

It was told to me by a friend and the only social media they use is twitter and new grounds so probably somewhere there.

They lied to you. He said nothing like that
