Interesting thought but I feel like BB has statues all over the place in ways that don't make a ton of sense. I suppose it could be that statue making is just extremely popular in Yarnam and surrounding lands. Or that people were turned into statues? Or maybe that statues are part of the Dream and the logic that runs it? Since we never see the waking world in detail...
Edit: Damnit, I didn't see this was a bot post. I'm all for bots that post news links but these Reddit reposters I'm not sold on. Unless they're also cross linking us to Reddit there's no connection back so commenting or replying on these is pointless.
