If you ask two people what reality is, you always get different answers.
There will always only be a certain intersection of what is "real" for these two people and what is not.
So many influencing factors flow into the overall picture of what constitutes reality for a person that an enumeration will always remain incomplete. It starts with the wiring of the neurons in the brain, continues with the social environment, childhood, age, level of education, what we have read, what stories we heard and, and, and....
Our desires, dreams and (sexual) fantasies do not arise from nothing, but have theirs Origins in one's own experienced and lived reality are embedded in it and inseparable from it tied together.
From this point of view, the question of reality in a porn game or an erotic visual novella relevant.
(In the following, I expressly do not refer to their only question here in the forum is "Are we finally getting to see something juicy?".)
I don't know how other people experience reading books, but for me it was always a experience in which I compared the progress of the story with my reality and I asked myself - "How would I act in this situation?".
In my opinion, one can prove quite well that the question of reality plays a role in a VN when one directs the focus of the discussion to the visualization of the story. I think this VN would only be half as successful if L&P doesn't put so much effort into the pictures and the details in these, his pictures would give.
For example, the picture of Sophia putting on make-up in the bathroom is only so erotic to me because it reflects part of my reality (my partner has way more makeup stuff and on the table and in the bathroom with us there is a lot more clutter on the board.). That is, in the visualization is the asking about the proximity to reality in the UN is not a "maybe" for me but a "must be"!
When it comes to the question of the reality of the story or the fetishes, I can only refer to my argument above.
Everyone, really everyone, experiences reality differently and the discussion is therefore about the question of whether the events narrated in the story have some relation to reality legitimately. But she never becomes one lead to a satisfactory result.
Nevertheless, I believe that because, as stated above, our sexual fantasies do not arise in a vacuum, an erotic VN must also be measured against the reality of each individual player. If the story breaks depending entirely on the reader's wealth of experience, he will reject them.
In a previous post I wrote - I'm done with the discussion about reality in this game. This is still the case. I attach importance to this question only to the extent that I ask "How does L&P come in an event from point A to point B". I have found that I am all the more generous with the question of the reality of events, the better my fetishes are served.
So I think this struggle with reality in this game just pisses me off because some of this argument, namely the lack of reality, only use their frustration at their unfulfilled desires and fantasies to give an expression that makes them appear in a better light.
I find the topic is very complex and it is difficult for me to express it in English. I have therefore used a translator so that some of what I meant can remain incomprehensible. Sorry!
