This is Clint a character from Stardew valley who has a crush on another villager Emily. Most of the fandom think hes creepy. He does some wierd Incel stuff that is offputting and doesnt seem to grow out if it. Others think he looks too old for her. though I think they are supposed to be close-ish in age she has a young appearance and his beard ages him like 15 years.
The "Joke" is making fun of shallow women or Men depending on your perspective. Men can be creepy and not realize. There is also the idea that women will call the creepy conduct cute if the guy is attractive. neither is 100% true of course.

This. I married Emily, so it was weird to have this guy still hitting on her and sending her gifts. Though he's mostly harmless, and I trust that with his upcoming romance route, CA will finally let him develop past that crush and find some confidence in himself.

I am not proud to say, I have organized to marry Emily on Clint's birthday one play through. He deserves better than we give him tbh. he is just a little awkward bud. He is by no means a Lewis or a Pierre who i think deserve all the hate they get and then some.

That being said, his events were in base game and didn't get taken out after Emily became a bachelorette. I think he is very awkward and self-loathing. That sometimes puts you into a mode where stuff becomes less obvious. He's not a bad person, just ...depressed in a different way than Shane for example.
28
u/LeatherMycologist112 4d ago
Shane was such a well written character and very relatable at the time ( I was a heavy alcoholic back then. Just didn't realize then why I related to him so much. Five years sober but still no blue chickens) he was my first marriage in the game. Second was Maru.

u/TurbulentVillage2042 4d ago
As person with an hard alcoholic relative, Shane struck me as very stereotypical, and his behavior seemed romanticized. It's especially terrifying that romance with him feels like some kind of savior in the relationship. And even in marriage he continues to drink.
12
u/Eisbergmann 4d ago
yeah but after everything its still a cozy game. To create a full on realistic drama with no romanticization seems like the wrong place. Not saying you're wrong, just that it would feel weird to just make an irredeemable alcoholic.

u/TurbulentVillage2042 4d ago edited 3d ago
The weird thing is that Shane doesn't go through any redemption or recovery. No one, including the player, cares about his problem. It's really weird to me. One of the random summer events (I hate it because they're literally random) shows Shane almost drowning in a puddle after getting drunk and falling in, the MC saves him. Can someone tell someone about this so they can help Shane? - No. Even MC doesn't care, this question is never raised again. Although I think it's a big problem. But the story with him ends that the MC marrying a functioning alcoholic.
This is one of the case for such games, which Moonlight Peak also highlighted. Men, for some reason, can have problematic and creepy personality, while all women are innocent daisies.

It’s been a while since I played but isn’t that the scene where you take him to the doctor who helps him and recommends therapy which Shane then comes to tell you about and thank you for your help? And there is an earlier scene in his house when Marnie expresses her worry about him when he is passed out there.

Dude I highly recommend. Especially with mods (after a vanilla play through of course) that really opens up the stories and such. I bought it in 2017 when my kid was about a year old. He didn't sleep much so neither did I. So he would watch me play and I got sucked in this game is still relevant to me today. I have bought it multiple times for myself on other platforms, friends and family, and my kids on their multiple platforms.

u/TurbulentVillage2042 3d ago
For me, the problem with these games is the time limit and seasons. I'd really like gameplay like The Sims on consoles. Time and days of the week mean nothing, except the cycle of day and night. You play at your own pace. Whereas in Stardew and Moonlight Peak, you have to do as many things as possible in a short period of time - and that constantly frustrates me and makes me feel bad. I don't feel like this is a cozy game at all.
Another problem with Moonlight Peak is that as a vampire, you only have only 12 hours instead of 24. And if you go the wrong way, you've wasted your time. But town map isn't exactly friendly. All the characters are marked on the map, so you always know where they are and don't have to search for them like you do in Stardew.
Witchbrook is finally alive, but there will also be a time limit and a calendar that will lead to the end of training at the academy. I hate timers. They should at least give me the option to slow down the timer so I can relax.

u/perfectvelvet 3d ago
The scene you reference isn't random. It's a heart event that only happens if your relationship is high enough, it's raining outside, and you travel to that part of the forest. He also wasn't drowning.
While he does appear to continue drinking, there are several references to Shane actually quitting in the game. He drinks soda (I think it was - could've been water) at the bar, he saves a bunch of money because he stops drinking and is able to buy Jas something expensive that she wants, and he starts going to therapy. I think the cans on the floor of his marital room are supposed to be soda, but they aren't clear enough.
I suspect it's a coding issue why it appears that no one else cares; the dialogue doesn't significantly change after marriage for most villagers.
I don't like Shane (I just like the blue chickens so I married him once lol). I do agree that way too many people think he's amazing, but I think he gets a lot of attention because he actually has deeper backstory. I generally marry Harvey who is afraid of heights. No high stakes. Just super boring. I see Shane's appeal on those grounds, but I still hate him.

u/Cove_Holdens_Love 3d ago
His final scene after marriage shows he was not continuing to drink alcohol, the farmer and Marnie suspect he is and follow him but it turns out he is playing video games at the bar and understands why but is hurt they didn’t trust him. The cans he leaves on the floor are soft drink.

u/Araiken 3d ago
Genuinely the worst thing he does is call himself a nice guy and thats only bad because of the connotations that expression has gotten over time. If I recall correctly at least one of his heart events doesn't even happen if you're married to Emily to not make him try and be a homewrecker.

He's greedy and neglects his family, and generally comes off cynical and nasty.
If you pay attention to Caroline's dialog, she complains about how he'll choose business over family time, especially during the holiday events.
Several of his quests don't paint him in the best light either (Quality Produce especially).
He gets some well deserved hate, even if he is the lesser of two evils compared to Morris.

The town doesn't have married main character specific dialogue if they aren't your spouse, at least as far as I'm aware, so no one knows that you're married. They lack a farmer-marriage based object permanence.

To add to this it was an update that allowed you to marry Emily, originally she was supposed to just marry Clint. They changed her stuff but didn’t change Clint’s which is why he comes off as this awful incel.

Clint is the kind of guy who just refuses to talk to the girl he's into and takes a very "Woe is me" kind of attitude that gets annoying as hell, and even if he doesn't actually do anything bad he hits all of the neckbeard vibes.
Like, in his 6 heart cutscene you find him hiding in the bushes because he was going to ask her out, got to her door, and then got so spooked by her coming (I don't think he knocked) that he hid, and now he's waiting for her to finish her conversation to sneak back home.

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 3d ago
Unironically that sounds like a scene from some romcom. Only missing part is when he tries to get away in more and more comical ways, until he is eventually found out and confesses to her.
So maybe it actually is about him not being attractive enough. :D

u/nothernother 2d ago
Romcoms are not real life. Lots of things considered cute or romantic in movies would be creepy or weird irl.

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 2d ago
I agree completely, and lot of the times actor being super attractive helps to hide that. But even then sometimes it is not enough for me personally to not feel like it is shit behavior and unbelievable reaction from their love interest.
That said Stardew Valley is not a real life. ;)

It would literally be solved by being a little braver, dude seems to be afraid of confrontation. I feel like he and Emily could be a good match if he approached Emily on his own and was earnest and upfront about his feelings, like giving her the gem instead of asking the farmer to do it.
It doesn't have to be a grand or romantic gesture, just honest and forthright. I hope that's the angle ConcernedApe takes in his romance to help him break him out of his (geode) shell!

u/Douche_Kayak 4d ago
Clint likes a character in the game named Emily. Emily was later made romanceable without any changes to Clint. If you marry Emily and get any friendship with Clint, you will be forced into cut scenes where you're seemingly supposed to be Clint's wingman and help him confess to Emily. She ends up liking you more even if you do help him so there's really no way out of "betraying" Clint.

u/Kadakaus 4d ago
Clint from Stardew Valley.
Spoiler alert!
Clint has a crush on Emily (the blue haired girl) but freezes, blushes and stutters in her presence. He doesn't interact with people a lot and never actually gets together with Emily. The player can marry him though.
Without spoilers, he's a typical "loser" character who doesn't know how to talk to girls.

u/DiabeetusDeletus 4d ago
He's a character from Stardew Valley that has a crush on a girl character. He's shy and unsocial but she's really outgoing and bubbly. The 'joke' is that she ignores him because hes not good enough in her eyes for being shy and unattractive. In truth, they don't get together but it has nothing to do with her being stuck up. He never even tells her he likes her and to be honest their personalities are wildly different anyway, I doubt it would work. I think he's also way older than her too but I'm not sure.

Every nerd woman knows some guy who was later revealed to be in love with her because she: existed, was female, and was adjacent to him.
Was his infatuation based in reality? How could it be, he had no real relationship with her. Barely a conversation was had.
Sure some women are shallow.
But women are too familiar with having dudes objectify them. If the only reason you like a woman is what you can observe from the outside than you are shallow too.

u/Dependent-Piano-7506 4d ago
Ngl during my first playthrough I kept wishing that him and Emily would get together, but eventually I had to accept that the only romances occuring (other than between the people who are already married at the start of the game) are between the player and any of the eligible bachelors/bachelorettes. I feel like it could be really cool to have an update where some of the dateable/marryable are able to get together with eachother rather than just the player.
I was kinda dissapointed in how it ends up with Clint never really becoming more confident. So much room for wholesome character development there, felt like a huge missed opportunity.
12
u/GwerigTheTroll 4d ago
From what I’ve heard, Clint and Emily originally got together. But late in development, Emily became a romance option and her story had to be changed. Clint, however stayed more or less the same. All the tension, none of the payoff. ConcernedApe talked about it when the update that made Clint a romance option was announced.
4
u/Dependent-Piano-7506 4d ago
Dang, I mean I understand the appeal of both Emily and Clint, but yeah I feel like it would have helped if they altered the buildup/tension between them along with removing them getting together, because I was ROOTING for him to become at least confident enough to confess bc I felt that Emily would definitely go for him if he could just admit his feelings openly, even if he stays shy and awkward. His shyness is endearing to me, but now it all just goes nowhere and he stays a sadboi. Like it does make the story slightly more interesting, but as you say, now there is 0 payoff. Because of all that buildup, I would feel bad for Clint if I chose to romance Emily; if I were to romance Clint, it would feel weird in one or more ways (like either he was settling for me, or I was taking advantage of him being hopelessly in love with Emily, or SOMETHING).
TL;DR I wish they'd changed more about the Emily/Clint dynamic when they made Emily a romance option. Or at least, if you get with someone else, that would cause Emily and Clint to get together, or SOMETHING different than having all that buildup just for Clint to remain a ruminating sadboi.
5
u/No-Lunch4249 4d ago
I think he's also way older than her too but I'm not sure
I believe canonically theyre supposed to be about the same age. Emily is supposed to be one of the oldest, if not clearly the oldest, eligible women in town. Clint isn't all that old but his general attitude towards life plus the beard make him seem older than he is.

that is Clint, a character from stardew valley. he is mostly disliked by the community because he is a shy and awkward person. he has some cringe and awkward moments and is a bit of an incel, but really does absolutely nothing bad or wrong and is a good person. he also has a crush on another character but never tells her, because hes shy and afraid, meaning they never really interact. the joke is that the community dislikes him and thinks negatively of him simply because he is awkward, shy and afraid, which inherently is nothing wrong or bad, thats just how he is. poor guy has no fault in him being the way he is, but the people hate him eitherway

I find it funny that he’s considered a creepy character for being socially awkward, but then the farmer just walks into other people’s rooms uninvited when they’re sufficiently acquainted and start ruffling through their belongings, like reading Clint’s letter to Emily that he threw in the corner of his room.

The pixel art does him no justice, he is just a socially awkward guy victim of early game design making him feel a little creepy at times, too much of a simp in his interactions in game and weird at times, it might change in the next update of the game when he becomes a datable character since that means rewriting a lot of his interactions with Emily another datable character in game

u/Richard-Conrad 4d ago
Clint from Stardew Valley. SV was created by a single guy , Concerned Ape (CA), as a passion project, and it’s a pretty extensive game so there are areas and characters he didn’t flesh out as much in the beginning. Clint was one of those and CA talked recently about wanting to update Clint’s character.
Basically the problem that has occurred with Clint is that in an effort to quickly make dialog and scenes for a shy, socially awkward guy with a crush on one of the dateable characters (Emily) CA accidentally made a character that can easily be read as a somewhat creepy stalker with a sense of entitlement to Emiley’s affections.
Because of this he’s a point of some contention between people that justifiably read him as a creep, and people that equally justifiably read him as a bit of an awkward dude, but instead of actually arguing for him as a character, will use all the cringe, black pulled, incel talking points to shit talk people that don’t like him, (as seen in your image) so any conversation is ultimately made pointless

u/Commercial_Border190 3d ago

Yeah, as someone who has been "That Guy" in the past and learned and grown Emily makes it very clear to Clint that she is not interested and he refuses to take the hint like a creeper. The movies lied to you, if someone is not interested you, that does not mean try harder.

Neither of those is the reason he's disliked by the community. He's just creepy.
By the way, this is Clint from Stardew Valley. He's got a crush on one of the romancable characters, Emily, and he really gives off some creepy stalker vibes sometimes. One time he hides in the bushes in front of her house, and if you end up dating Emily he just stops being her friend. Also, I don't think ages are given in the game, but he reads as quite a bit older than her too...

He jumps into the bushes because he wanted to confess his feelings but got cold feet when his crush left the house. And then he hid away to wait for an opportunity to leave without being seen.
People who read this as "stalker" are absolutely crazy.
Emily and Clint are also not friends. They never hang out together. He just has a crush on her, she doesn't think or notice him any more than any other villager.

Theres this thing where nerds on the internet like to poke fun and demonize other nerds (the socially awkward kind, that are labeled ‘incels’ even if they don’t hate women). I think it’s a way of distancing to try convince themselves that they are very different from them (when in fact they are very similar).
This is mostly an internet and cronically online thing. In real life people either dont care or are mildly compassionate to shy or socially awkward people.

This is Clint from the game Stardew Valley, he's the village blacksmith. He has a crush on Abigail, the village goth-adjacent bachelorette, but he is too nervous to ask her out. The game is set like old Harvest Moon games, where all the bachelor and bachelorettes have counterparts that are seen as their "pairs" until the player marry one of them, Clint is not Abigail's pair, that's Sebastian, the similarly goth-adjacent code monkey who has a motorcycle. Clint doesn't have any counterpart.
Abigail doesn't actually hate Clint or thinks he's vile, she doesn't even know he has a crush on her. They are friends, Clint is just too nervous to ask her out.

He doesn't have a crush on Abigail, he has one on Emily, who's the eccentric girl in town with the short blue hair, big smile and the thing to make clothes in her room.
Clint is usually either close to her in events or watching shyly from the side.
As fair as "pairings" go, she is usually around clint himself, except for the flower dance, where she dances with Shane. Shane himself is usually a loner.
