Blink 182 did an album cover with a porn star. I guess it was a company decision, I can't imagine a rock band taking issue with it.
Not really. Most musicians talk a big game about bucking the system, use porn stars for their art, offensive language or imagery; they're all rebels and lovers and freedom fighters, but that's all it is, talk. Metallica was furious that their fans could listen to their music for free on Youtube without paying for it. The Beatles preached a world of love, but John Lennon beat women pretty regularly. Rage against the Machine LITERALLY told their fans to disobey and distrust the government, then verbally attacked anyone who didn't get a vaccine last year.

My point is artists aren't known for their morality. Which makes sense, in many ways a strict code of scruples or a strong disgust metric hinders art. So don't expect a lot of integrity from the kind of people it really doesn't resonate with. They're looking out for themselves, first and foremost. If this makes them look bad, they aren't going to take a stand and risk social disapproval*. Its been a real problem for our society since we shifted from dignity culture.


*the disapproval of others is the worst possible thing to ever happen to you or anyone in history. Obviously.

All this talk about the audio and i've had this game muted since the 3rd update lol

That loud ass intro was extremely obnoxious



youre one "bella_path = True" away from prosperity bro.
I didn't particularly like the intro song either, it was too 'booming' for my tastes.

But I didn't put the game on mute after that. DPC song placement is superb.

Unless you also watch TV on mute, then I'd understand you better. I guess.

I guess it all depends on how you consume VNs. For example, im reading the Three-Body Problem series right now...

I also read Marvel comics. I don't do either of these with an audio track in the background, it doesnt seem necessary to me.

And again, that deafening intro guitar blaring put a bad taste in my mouth on top of that.

Asking someone that has played through most or all the content. How much Lesbian/bi content in the game? And is it avoidable?
The only lesbian/bi scenes are threesomes with the MC, there is a lesbian couple who you could get in a relationship with. However if you don't then you don't see any lesbian scenes from them, there are two other girls who are implied to be having sex offscreen but again you'd only see something if you have a threesome with them else you can fuck them both separately.

Josy Question (Spoilers through chapter 4):
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Nope not possible... BUT if you say to derek in EP5 that you still have feelings for Josy, there are some scenes where these feelings are shown... so its a possibility to get together with her in the future if/when she breaks up with maya i think, but not for sure. As for now... nothing lewd with Josy when youre not on the throuple path.

How many potential LI's is there?
3 main girls you can enter relationship with, one lesbian couple you can become a throuple with (although previous posts state you're not interested in that), about 8 side girls who you can fuck but aren't (yet) available for relationships.

Wow i figured as large as this game is you would have several. I mean i'm not totally against a throuple. But i reallly wish you could at some point down the line be in a solo relationship with Josy.

Only halfway through the game, potential for 2 or 3 of the 8 side girls to be main girls by the end. The ex-girlfriend is back now so becomes a new LI. Obviously new girls could also become LIs too, there's already a preview for 3 new girls who could be fuckable next ep. There's also 2 or 3 tertiary girls who could become side girls in the future.

I'd like a Josy solo route too, personally I think that will come if you stay out of the throuple, I think Josy and Maya couple doesn't last without MC as a mediator. There also has to be a reason for DPC to put in the option of stating we still have feelings for Josy after we decide to be friends with the couple.

A lot of y'all got no clue what punk is about. Sex and drugs and Rock and Roll? That's what punk was a reaction AGAINST. Punk rock is, and always has been, POLITICAL music. Ever heard of Straight Edge? Or God Save the Queen? Anti-Monarchy propaganda. Guns of Brixton? London Calling? Anti-colonialist rhetoric. Do I even need to comment on EVERYTHING by Rage Against the Machine? Put it this way, if you are anywhere to the right of Bernie Sanders, you don't get to be a RATM fan. Sorry, but you just don't. They'll take your money, but you don't understand the music.

And a big part of that, for a lot of punk bands, has always been was at least a surface level feminism. And a lot of folks are still stuck in old fashion, SWERF and TERF 2nd wave feminism. And hell, the depiction of feminism in BAD ain't great, especially if you are a SWERF and TERF. I can easily see a political punk band who bills themselves as feminist wouldn't want to be associated with a game like BAD. And in the end, it's their copyright, and they do get to decide what they want to be associated with.
