TIL, after years of playing Stardew Valley on-off, that Pierre apparently has quite the (well-deserved) hatedom.

To this day, I still can't get over the fact that the Ferngill Republic, the country Stardew Valley is in, is at war with another country on its southern border and that the Ferngill Republic is almost certainly the aggressor owning to the complete lack of damage towards Stardew Valley's infrastructure. Since Stardew Valley is a border town located at the Ferngill-Gotoro border, it doesn't make sense for Stardew Valley to not suffer damage to its infrastructure from the Gotoro military unless the Ferngill military invaded the Gotoro Empire and have the frontlines be miles south of the internationally recognized Ferngill-Gotoro border.
I used to rationalize this as the two countries preferring not to shit where they eat and duking it out over small tracks of land elsewhere of strategic and economic importance (like an unmentioned archipelago). Then SVE ruined it by adding a Gotoran character (Olivia) who’s worried about her relatives back home.
Would be nice, if there were a class traitor kulak path, to have an option where you amass large amounts of political-economic power and capital-strike the government into peace but I’m probably putting more thought into something the creator intended to be a cheap Iraq/Afghanistan vet analogue with Kent.
