Nurse's tome objectively does not contradict/retcon her base lore

Nurse's entire base lore is not only incredibly barebone and vague to begin with (even prior to being shortened by bhvr to be even more barebone and vague than what it already was), but there is nothing within the tome story that can't be explained or that goes against anything that's already established within the base lore.

The base lore is so vague, to the point that it allowed for multiple interpretations of it to exist (even one that supports the route that the tome went with) and the whole idea of Nurse mercy killing the patients or that Nurse being some kind of angel of mercy was always just nothing more than one of those community interpretations, it was simply just the more popular one.

The only thing Nurse's tome contradicts is people's subjective interpretation of her lore.

    True.

    I like the tome very much, despite the obvious problems (the ableism).

    For a fictional story, i don't consider it a problem as long as it serves to actually help tell the story itself, which it does in context with how the story plays out.

    Plus given the time period that the story takes place in.

    this. nobody actually bothers to read the lore themselves, they just listen to youtubers regurgitate a shorthand version of it. so when someone like Pixelbush gets pissy and twists the lore to his own vision to claim BHVR is "betraying the original character" (even tho due to Multiverse #########, it wouldn't matter anyways and your good guy nurse is still out there)
