they live in the slums. between protecting one of their own people or pandering to the company and it's officers who are oppressing them. which do you think a reasonable person would pick?

The Mayor has entered the chat: You're welcome.

I mean I'ma assume you beat the game. It's a old game so whatever.

You have friends in high places. VERY HIGH places.
The slums? The Slums? You see what? 6 shinra soldiers entirely.
You still have rats , ratting on you but shinra doesn't care.
They want Avalanche to keep going extreme. They want to destroy midgar so they can move on to Neo Midgar. Like that's old hat from old game stuff there.

You are being set up.

Avalanche is accepted by the people. Barrets group is considered extremist. They are still Avalanche though. They are the patsy's,

Until Barrets group gets caught up Avalanche is super popular with the people. Them getting caught on camera helped Shinra frame Wu Tai which shinra needs. Because Midgar is failing lol.

Yeah having grown up in actual projects, it doesn't matter if you hate the dude. You don't snitch and inform otherwise...you are gonna die.

"Hey we make water filters so you can have decent water, it helps pay for our costs as freedom fighters" Yo in the actual real life ghetto. People doing that type of stuff gain actual loyalty.

Imagine someone giving you a filter to make your water not taste like egg farts and then only charging enough to keep the scheme going.

Clean water wins every time.

You can see that the people in Aerith's slums have to all gather in one place to have access to a TV, and after that they straight up get news through a town-crier set up lmao. Even if we discarded the perfectly valid point made in the thread already, regarding people in slums looking after their own first, it stands to reason that the news wouldn't reach most of these people in a fast and reliable way.

Poor Johnny though! XD I don´t think he meant to blabber out all he did, he wasn´t aware of the consequenses, plus he had Shinra soldiers dragging him off and pointing their guns at him. And then Cloud comes and scares him even more (also understandable). One notices later in the game that Johnny is actually a nice guy who wants to help, but as Aerith says, he´s not very sharp or clever,lol.
