History YMMV / LoveDeathAndRobotsJibaro

** Another common interpretation is that the story is symbolic of Conquistador-era Spaniards invading and brutalizing Native territories in different parts of the globe, albeit with a heavy dose of AnachronismStew thrown in. The army dresses in old-fashioned armor reminiscent of this era, and they are followed by priests that have garbs reminiscent of Christian religious figures. The entire reason the army approach the lake in the first place is to essentially "pillage" the Golden Woman of all of her riches, and Jibaro eventually does so successfully in a scene that resembles rape (which has extra disturbing implications considering the mass sexual abuse towards Native women by the colonizers). The Golden Woman herself resembles a mishmash of different cultures (namely Cambodian, Indian and Indonesian) that contrast sharply with the European appearance of the army, and the main character's name, Jibaro, is a Spanish word for traditional Puerto Rican farmers, which is an IronicName given that he is one of the greedy colonizers and Puerto-Rico was one of the many colonized lands.

* JerkassWoobie: While the siren is a serial killer its hard to not pity her when she cries over her mutilated, naked body, betrayed by the only person she liked.

* {{Narm}}: The deranged animation and the knight going into ballet poses can make the scene extremely ridiculous.
* NarmCharm: Jibaro's dancing to the Golden Woman's song while can be seen as ridiculous can also be seen as extremely creepy and maybe even profound, mixed in with how visceral the scene is from both of their reactions.

** Jibaro witnessed his entire battalion get brutally slaughtered in one of the most nightmarish ways possible and was left to his own devices, becoming more and more crazed because of the experience and later from advances by the Golden Woman. Of course, given what he ultimately does to the Golden Woman (highlighted by the [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil symbolism]] it has) as well as being a greedy conquistador through and through...

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Exactly who is the villain of the story. Is it the Golden Woman? Is it Jibaro? ''Both'' can be treated as equally monstrous and both can be taken for a victim. Especially in case of the Golden Woman, we are never in the clear if she's actually evil, or is it a case of BlueAndOrangeMorality.

%%Do not add Broken Base until 6 months after the release.

* BrokenBase: And over the exact same issue as ''[[Recap/LoveDeathAndRobotsTheWitness The Witness]]'' - is the trippy animation serving any actual point, or it is done for the sake of itself ''or'' to cover the fact how mangled and off-model it gets at times.
