Ask a dumb question, get a dumb answer

They can indeed, but they have no free will. They have chips in their brains so every time we press a key on their keyboard that sends a signal to the chip that forces their leg muscles to walk in that direction. So as much as they'd like to say "hey there's fire under this canopy!" they are unable to since when they are "on duty" the chips in their brains are set to "on" so they are unable to move unless our keyboards tell them to. The only words the brain chips lets them say is "oof" and "woop". That also means a sadistic player can have them walk into fire or water 100 times in a row to burn/drown them and there's nothing they can do about it. Chip has said in an interview it hurts like hell to be burned or crushed between giant blocks or eaten alive by a giant monster which is made up entirely of sharp teeth, force-floors that go round and round also make him feel very sick, but he is willing to keep doing it to impress Melinda. Melinda has said she takes strong painkillers before going on duty.

Is Chip the biggest simp in gaming history since everything he goes through is for Melinda?
