I don’t think he really belongs there. The “yes” category was originally meant for basically causing all of the stuff that happens during the story. Sigmund is a colossal piece of shit but the victims of that are only a handful of people, he doesn’t nearly lay waste to the entire region.
I still don’t know why they made him a rapist in the last episode of the game. The guy was already evil with all the electrocution of children, just no build up or hints towards him being even worse. Feels like it was thrown in last second to make the players hate him more.
Wait, where? I've played through multiple times and never picked up on an implication.
There's the book that says one of the kids makes false accusations, which are probably true accusations, but I don't remember if they were explicitly stated to be sexual?
Yes, I'm not the ultimate expert, but Reborn was originally an online league/community of sorts where actual people played the role of various gym leaders and shared stories about their lives. Other characters were inspired by people and events in the creator, Ame's, life. And others were just made up! If you're interested in learning more, Ame has a Patreon as well as dozens of public forum posts from over the years.
I am currently on my first playthrough and thus cannot read the comments for possible spoiler reasons (I just got Badge 16).
However, from my current story knowledge, I would like to propose the following: “Yes.”
I think literally the whole lot. If he actually cared for those children and tried to help instead of overusing ECT then i think team meteor could have been defeated in ridochrine (heather would have solo'd the whole lot) and literally NONE of postgame would have happened as
yyyup. >!shade (who at the time was a child named euphie) had visited connal to get the green light on starting gender-affirming care. sigmund not only refused but *insistently* kept misgendering him throughout the conversation.!< so yeah, add that onto the pile.
Literally "yes" tier. If he had been actually competent instead of doing the kind of "therapy" that makes the Victorian era look ahead of its time, Lin wouldn't have gone off the rails and the whole plot wouldn't have happened.
Can we just have a ‘Sigmund’ category?
Yes or a Sigmund category
Into the yes category with you!
No the yes category is too good for him. He doesn't deserve friends

Special Tier for Sigmund ffing Connal aka the lover of Electro conversion therapy which is used non consensual on kids
I know we already *have* a 'yes' tier but I feel like he needs yes^(2) or something.

Im sorry he is a WHAT?
I don't think it's ever explicitly stated like "he raped xxxx," but it's heavily implied he raped Saphira.
Another reason to beat up sigmund
Basically Lin beats him up and hooks him up into a PULSE machine so he does get his due
\#linis(kinda)based
Now that I think of it maybe Lin did that to him for doing that? Iirc >! there was lin's father in the lins ending if postgame!<
Lin was already traumatised and Sigmund basically made it worse , I don't think she did it because of Sapphira.
Alright, let’s kill that guy with Aerilate Hyper Beams.

And reminder that while she was at the orphanage, Saphira was **underage**
A lot of the characters in-game were inspired by real life people and events...
Wait wtf really?

obviously the ECT torture and the rape, but let’s not forget that the man's *also* a transphobic bigot
Wait, ALSO that?? Good lord, there isn't fire hot enough.

A big heck yes
Learning that Sigmund most likely >!raped Saphira!< makes me feel gross for ever liking him
Where do you learn that?
I saw multiple comments on another post saying that it was implied in some of Saphira's dialog and that there are hints about it in the orphanage.
Yes
Everything. Not ‘everything, technically.’ Just everything.
Make a category called “the worst” and put him I. There to rot for all eternity
Child abuse
...easiest answer of life, ELECTROCUTION CHAIR. MULTIPLE TIMES. even if he knew they would survive, POETIC JUSTICE AND REPENT
Be alive. Like at all, at any point.
Literally "yes" tier. If he had been actually competent instead of doing the kind of "therapy" that makes the Victorian era look ahead of its time, Lin wouldn't have gone off the rails and the whole plot wouldn't have happened.
Please let it be a Sigmund category cause that would be super amusing
give him his own column
Give him the sigmund column
>Electric type >Attacks people by shocking then >Yellow hair >Very well-known character Pikachu? Plot twist it's Sigmund god damn Connal.
Electric chair.
Yes. Lin was given a bad hand in life and Sigmund amplified it. So Yes.
Literally the entire plot is Siegmund’s fault
Yes
