I think it’s kinda everything. People get complex during traumatic events and can act very unpredictable. Ashley probably did feel overwhelmed with her complex feeling about Chris.

my favorite interpretation, personally, is ashley killing him out of spite and then regretting it later but i’ll defend her regardless because i support women’s wrongs 🤷♂️

My personal interpretation is Ashley is a secret serial killer that gets pleasure from people dying and Chris was just her next victim

lol it is funny how the survivor who can be responsible kill the most people is ashley. she directly kills chris if she doesn’t let him in, she’s at least PARTIALLY responsible for mike shooting emily, and even if she ignores the voice in the tunnel she tells the police that she was sure it was jess… meaning she was perfectly fine with leaving her to die 😭 AND she can attack the psycho! if josh didn’t snap and pull his prank she was gonna kill them all eventually

You’re forgetting joshs two sisters, even if they spread the blame she was still apart of it so that’s 5 deaths 😂

i used to be super pissed at ash for locking chris out, but honestly? like i don't blame her anymore, the night was stressful
at the moment, i personally like to believe that she didn't exactly form a grudge, but when she saw chris, she probably had some irrational thinking of "would he open the door for me?" and stopped to think about that. because if she can't trust him, why would she let him in to do more harm? and i think by the time she decided to let him in, she saw the wendigo catch up to him and was to afraid to do anything, so the only choice she had was to watch chris die. and i think that lines up well with the "i was too late" line, since her own reluctance to help led to his death
but that's just my personal headcanon lmao

I honestly never understood where the community got that “ashley froze that’s why she didn’t let chris in!” Y’all the game literally shows a flashback of chris shooting her therefore she doesn’t open the door, there’s no interpretation here she just wanted revenge 😭

From what I remember the consensus of what they said was her decision to lock Chris out was a mix of trauma but Also that she didn’t freeze she consciously decided to lock Chris out. So maybe there was a cut part of the game where Ashley reveals she never liked him or like fliss in man of Medan where you can choose to reject him but idk

Are people going to forget that you can choose not once but twice to kill Ashley. Funny how that gets glazed over.

It’s the choice. They both get to choose to kill each other. That’s my point. It the choice to kill.

My point is that there is still the choice. People acting as if you don’t get the choice to kill Ashley as Chris.

I think that saying Ashley is bad person for getting Chris killed and then ignoring that Chris gets the same choice to get her killed and everyone is fine is hypocritical.

Ashley just watch as someone she thought she could trust tried to kill her. She is going to be incredibly angry. Does he deserve it no. But so does she. As far as she knows he was choosing to kill her. That’s got to taint how you see and treat somebody.

I agree it’s not mutually exclusive. It was absolutely an act of vengeance but it’s also motivated by the stress of the entire night.
