I seem to remember that Mona thought she had free tuition, after Quinn lied. I don't think she knew, before accepting, what she was getting into (it was stupid of her not to ask, unlike Maya, pool scene).
Moreover, when Quinn goes to see her in her room to tell her to shut up (or try to change her mind, I don't know), Mona is visibly terrified and promises not to say anything.
I don't think Mona had a problem with doing the gloryhole thing, her problem was letting old guys fuck her.

It has nothing to do with sociophathic tendencies or to have no empathy.
Quinn just wants a real alpha man in her life,
someone who can stand up for himself and protect her.
someone who really suits her,
and not a whining,feminist MC who suits goblins and albino's more.
They were talking about Bella, not Quinn.

Whereas the whole restaurant part seems to have no drama at all
I wonder if this is a case of DPC's plans changing based on people's response to Quinn. She was very obviously setup to be an antagonist in the early chapters but she won over a lot of people and has been softened and made the main love interest of the 'Others' branch.

If she remained an antagonist I bet we would have seen some fallout by now for using the restaurant. As it stands it just feels like a weird thing from an earlier draft of Being a DIK.

Is this about Bella ? :FacePalm::FacePalm:
I was replying to the Quinn debate. I think most of the Bella conjecture is just wild theories thrown about by bored people waiting for the update. Whereas the Quinn debate which was what I was commenting on is more like a few people trying to illustrate Quinn's toxicity to other people who will defend Quinn's behavior because they have an attraction to the character (model?)

Disclaimer: Quinn's one of my favorite characters too but I know she'd be a terrible person IRL.

I'm probably gonna get a lot of facepalms for this. But I never thought Quinn's model was attractive. So it was easy for to hate and keep hating her character since she is a horrible person. But as a character she is great after all you don't need to like every character to think they are a good character.

You should also know the classic "Voulez-vous se couchez avec moi ce soir?" That way you can get the 3 slaps from french or french speaking women for hell week.
If on the .0001% chance they say yes then enjoy your evening.

From WebMD:
What is a Sociopath?
People often confuse the terms and use them interchangeably. They aren’t different in the clinical sense. Both terms refer to people who have (ASPD). Those with ASPD have no regard for others’ rights or feelings, lack empathy and remorse for wrongdoings, and have the need to exploit and manipulate others for personal gain.

Nature and nurture play a role in ASPD. The reasons behind the disorder are not fully understood. The current belief is that psychopathy generally comes from genetic factors, such as parts of the brain not developing fully, while sociopathy results from an interruption in personality development by abuse or trauma in childhood. People often think that those with antisocial personality disorders are always criminals and are easy to spot, but many are unaware of the disorder and may never be diagnosed.

Sociopaths have less consistent behavior than psychopaths. Psychopaths are more controlled and charming. Their manipulation is more detached, and they plan ahead. Sociopaths experience anxiety and find rage far harder to control. They may act without thought and, as a result, they may have a harder time blending in. Inconsistencies between their words and their lives may be easier to see.


Quinn is a textbook case.
Ah, so you can choose Sage's path, Jill's path, Bella's path, Josy/Maya's path, or Quinn's sociopath.

Quinn is not one of my favorite characters,
but i can very well understand why she is so hard on herself and everyone else around her,
with what she has been through in her youth,and her addiction.

So no,she is not a terrible person,
but a fragile broken soul that needs love,
protection and real affection.

I totally agree. I like her character for the game, but I don't think the model is attractive at all.

So, yes, I think we can talk about manipulation, threats and therefore, psychological violence on Quinn's part in order to keep her under his control, right?
Whether it's legal or not, it's human behavior.
it wasnt quinn that told her or maya about free tuition, they heard a roomer. i cant remember, but i believe when asked, quinn says "we'll talk" or something like that. mona also states that she agreed to the hooking, just didnt think it would be an old dude, and drew the line at burke. i respect her choice to stop, as i respect that it was her CHOICE to start. claiming she was just an innocent little lamb is an attempt to twist the facts. as far as the convo with quinn after mona quit. go watch it again, mona wasnt "threatened" until she had slipped up and revealed info she shouldnt have, twice if im not mistaken. but once for sure. i dont think explaining what BURKE will do if she was to make that mistake again was wrong. and for damn sure isnt psycological violence lol

haters are going to hate, and theres no room for thinking objectivly. if this wasnt the case then we wouldnt see so many praise rio while condeming quinn when the fact is.....they are fucking PARTNERS! the difference is rio looks at you with big doe eyes asking for help, while quinn says fuck off, ill do it myself.

im just over here holding everyone accountable for their own choices.... i know, how fucked up is that lol

She does show sociopathic tendencies, but doesn't have zero empathy if you play on a DIK playthrough and do her events. (if you have neutral or chick affinity it is zero empathy and she's a complete sociopath.)
It may follow from this that her behavior with people is just another mask that she wears because she doesn’t want anyone to see her weak/it helps her survive better.
Not surprisingly, she came from a very cruel social environment where life doesn't forgive mistakes.

I gotta disagree chuck. Quinn and Rio aren't partners although Rio seems to think so. I have to side with Karamba (seems like heresy I know, I know) Quinn is the pimp. Rio is her bottom bitch.

What da' shit happened to this game; they want to finish it with one go or something?

Note: Please don't use "problem" and "life" words in same sentence for your own good and just ignore me instead. I have low tolerance to BS.
