When I say I’m a "William’s defender," it’s not about defending his actions—it’s about defending his characterization. Too many people reduce him to something that completely misses the point of what makes him compelling.
His character is all about control, manipulation, intelligence, and arrogance. He’s not just some mindless, impulsive villain—he’s calculated, methodical, and entirely self-serving. His ability to lie with absolute confidence, twist narratives in his favor, and make people believe what he wants them to is what makes him dangerous.
Some people turn him into this over-the-top, cartoonishly deranged figure, while others try to slap completely unrelated traits onto him just for shock value. Both of those takes completely misunderstand him.
What makes William interesting is that he’s a character who is fully aware of his actions and choices. He doesn’t see himself as some insane monster—he sees himself as the smartest person in the room, always in control. Even when things fall apart, even when he’s backed into a corner, he finds a way to twist the situation to his advantage.
That’s why I care so much about how he’s written. His personality, his mannerisms, his way of thinking—those are what make him a compelling character. I don’t care about redeeming him, but I do care about preserving the things that actually make him William Afton.
