First of all, right before the blackmail there is a smoking scene in the window with the GF, where the GF basically begs you to transfer with her on another team. But because the MC wants to "become someone worthy of her" because of the promise, he decides no, let's stay here on this project and finish it, also there is a bit of sunken cost fallacy in play here but the promise is the main reason. This is the promise best left unkept and the whole moment that determines the whole game. Right afterwards, the GF gets blackmailed and dicked within a few days.
No, it's because the game will end if he says "Sure".
And we will have no game.
It's a subtle ultimatum by the GF.
...
"Look, maybe we should get out of here, or this guy might end up fucking me." In a way, it's the GF way of ridding herself of culpability. By asking you "Please, let's transfer to another team." She is essentially putting the blame on the MC if you stay on this project and something bad happens with the Netori, ie "A promise best left unkept".
Love the "Subtle ultimatums".
The shining-sparkling role model for us all to follow, yeah.
I especially love another one of these:
"Look, you didn't read my mind and didn't bring me beer exactly when I wanted? Well, it's not my problem that I'll beat the shit out of you tonight.
Need to keep you on your toes, or you'll get fat and lazy on me. Am I right or am I right?"
But no, instead she decides to not talk to the MC and accept the blackmail. Why? Well she's a woman after all.
JESUS fkn CRIST.
You really should stop listening to Andrew Tate, dude.
Plague Inc. is such a good game because if you realize what's really going on...
Humanity needs to be eradicated?
Preach, brother!
The whole point is about how men shouldnt live for women, they should live for themselves and have women support them.
...and here I thought people should support each other.
You learn something every day, I guess.
True.
Cheating = bad.
the MC is good and shouldn't change anything,
MC should change AND he's good.
At the same time.
Shocking. I know. People are not perfect and should change all the time.
True.
That's a bit extreme.
A case in a court would be better.
A confident guy lives for himself.
Everyone is living for themselves.
It's just most people are not sociopaths - and other people tend to be a precious part of their lives.
If you believe in evolution, which means real science...
Pleasedonttalkabouteugenicspleasedonttalkabouteugenicspleasedonttalkabouteugenics
...then you should know that women have evolved to swap sides and adapt, that's what maximizes their gene procreation and survival potential.
And men evolve to kill.
Doesn't make me a fkn murderer.
What are you talking about?
Which is exactly what is happening in this VN, she's mad for about 2-3 weeks, then finally gives up to Luca.
Yep, that is exactly how it works.
You just kidnap a woman, keep her in your basement for 2-3 weeks - and she's happy!
...wait.
That's exactly what Andrew Tate did, isn't it?
Obviously she doesn't say it directly because, well...
Because the game will end at this very second..?
...a lot of people don't realize this on an intellectual level, it's more of a serotonin reptilian brain thing, but nevertheless she keeps giving chance after chance to the MC, and like an idiot stubborn dumb fuck, the MC doesn't do anything, doesn't change, doesn't realize anything, until he literally sees Luca pounding her pussy.
Yeah, it's as if... clear communication in the family is importan-
Wait!
We can't take actually useful lessons from the story, now can we?
All women are cheaters and no man should ever trust their loved ones. No matter what they say - always search for double meaning.
There. That's better.
And kidnap women.
