I also can't completely disagree with anything in your post.
But the above snip I took out of your post is really one of the larger troubling issues with those networks.
And it is why I have never been a fan of social media networks. It doesn't matter if it's for a VN or any other closed minded group. Social media reunites snowflakes into massive circle jerking sessions. So in my opinion the problem is still not entirely on DPC's shoulders. I suspect he also understands this. And with his new found fame and wealth, I don't think someone, even you, wouldn't want to risk any possible reason for a platform to cancel your channel because it's only filled with 'in-fighting', insults, threats and vitriol.

So with a project as large as BaDIK is, I'm not surprised he rounded up a few mindless followers to police his channels so vigorously dishing out bans and kicks because someone veers off their idea of how a fan should behave, think or speak.

For example, let's talk about discord. Discord staff monitor and sneak into your chat channels without your knowledge regularly. How I know this you wonder? Well I'm glad you asked, #1 they openly said it and #2 they did it to me a while back while I was tutoring a friend on how to hack a scammer. At the time I was in a private channel I had created and set a password to it. Next thing I knew, my channel got suspended and my account banned with hardly any explanations. The only thing Discord informed me with was the ban itself and I had somehow broken their terms and conditions. The only explanation is that someone from Discord's staff came in my channel 'invisibly' most likely half way through our conversation, and got the wrong idea out of it and jumped to a wrong conclusion. And I got hit with a ban hammer.

So keeping that in mind, I think this would take a serious chunk out of your monthly/yearly revenue. So I get it, I get why DPC is a monumental ass hole when it comes to his little circle of brainless fanatics. And in a sense, I wholeheartedly agree with his angle, because simply put. Social media platforms are ALL garbage. Social media is just a tool to monitor everyone and log and categorize your opinions to only be used against you in the future. That's all these corporations care about. Becoming "big brother".
But here you are talking about unacceptable behavior, and not just about allowing an alternative opinion on the DPC server. I really doubt that Discord could ban his channel because someone would write that long No-lewd animations or 60FPS are a bad idea. Or that DPC needs to pay more attention to post-processing of completed renders.

Again, I can't disagree with your point of view. Because deep down I 100% agree with you. But the reality is, that these platforms will take action if the owner of those channels won't. And they don't use 'half measures'. It sucks and I agree that it sucks. But that's the nature of their business model, Discord and Patreon rule their platforms like fascist dictators.

And so the only way to guarantee that DPC himself won't have to bust too much of a nut on policing his own circle jerks, it's natural to believe that he went out and grabbed his most dedicated fans and supporters to do it for him with an absolute unforgiving attitude.

Like you I don't agree with that tactic, because, personally I would like to have a back and forth my supporters if I were in his shoes. His fame got to his head, and ultimately, will most likely be his downfall as well. But who knows, there are a lot more brainless idiots out there than those of us who have critical thinking skills greater than that of a bent straw.

My god, my god, i developed a feeling for Josy that i have never had for any fictional character in my whole life ( almost 30yo)

I fucking go to work in my daily life, and when im alone or i have a break, i find myself thinking about this game and Josy, maybe due to that i have spent 5 days playing the story, idk, Sage always have been my favorite, but when i had the choice to choose josy/maya and i had Dik Affinity, i couldnt progress anymore with josy, and even if i have cheats to change all that i still played with my choices made without changing it with cheats, then when i had scenes with Josy, i found myself regreting my choices! Wow!!! i really like her and im probably changing all my choices in another playroute :KEK:


Peace (y)

Seriously, DPC is an asshole. He's going to find a way to ruin your favorite Li for the sake of drama, one way or another. He has done it already, several times, both in AL an in BADIK. I don't know Maybe your favorite Li is going to die. Maybe you are going to find some nasty secret about her past that you won't like. Maybe you are going to discover she's crazy, maybe she's going to start a woke campaign of activism, maybe she's going to be even deeper into some stupid, over-the-top criminal shit that you ever though, maybe your are going to discover she's a full-time prostitute for a gang, maybe she's going to change her personality and make her a bitch, maybe he's going to make her a lesbian and you can't have her if you don't agree with sharing her with another lesbian... It's DPC personality, he can't avoid it. And probably he doesn't even do it on purpose. It's just that he just cares about "his vision". He doesn't care about what the player could think about the moral values and politic views that he shoehorns into the game, or the nasty things he does with the Lis.

He added that stupid warning because he thinks that gives him a blank cheque to do whatever he wants. It his game, he does it or himself, and And fuck the player's feelings or thoughts. It's his game and his "vision" and he graciously lets you play it if you pay. But you are not even a customer who buys the game from him and therefore can demand certain things. For example, regular updates in a decent and reasonable time, or not to be force-fed with woke shit. You just "support his work" on Patreon. You literally have no say. That's why I will never be support him and try not to get too involved with this game.
What is woke? Most anti-sjw cringelords can't even define wokeness. DPC doing a good job, the writing is solid for a porn game. I just wish we didn't had to wait a year to get an update.

And with that we see proof that women (for the most part) love to fake outrage. Penny acting all traumatized from MC shoving Sage in a pillori and fuck her real good, only to be caught later on with a snorkel up where the sun don't shine. And this (from experience) is true almost to a fault for a large majority of women. Hypocrites much ladies? :ROFLMAO:
How DPC's vision of how a girl would behave in that situation is a proof for you? Do you put so much trust in his perception?

Holy shit, I'm a relatively new player. I don't think I've ever done a 180 on a character as much as I have with quinn. When I played for the first time, I hated her so much that I just said I'm gonna stay away from her in every playthrough. Then I finally did play her route and now I can't do a playthrough without pursuing quinn. New favourite LI. Man, DPC is so good at writing compelling and captivating characters.

Looks like you missed the bit in parentheses "(from experience)" in my original post. Which goes to prove my point I was making to Geralt earlier when I said:

Thanks for the assist.
:ROFLMAO:

"And with that we see proof that...." We can only see the scene with Penny. There is no way we see what's happened to you (the "from experience" part). Maybe your phrasing could be a little bit more accurate like putting "proof" at the end and maybe changing it to "proof for me" or something like that?

I think those two only got involvement because of both prior content early on but also as a potential drama device on Sage's path.

And if Sally was just meant to be a one-off encounter at some point, the 20 render series she's gotten (when other one-offs haven't more than a mixed render or two) seems excessive.
You realize those are chosen by the Patreons right? Sally and KJR are the walking memes of Being a DIK, expect a KJR set to be put into the game soon^tm. The more content for them is due to the fans being "attracted to them even though they are literally written to be unlikable and with so many flaws its not even funny".

I'd strongly suggest you try to reel it back in a bit with the fake outrage. I just can't let it slide, it's just not my nature I'm sorry. But I have to point out that you just love proving my point don't ya?

So again, I advise you step away slowly, don't touch the silverware and crystals on you way out. I thank you for participating.
:cool:

Well it's more normal than you think it is; check, I started pursuing Bella but Quinn kept appearing and every time it was more and more important to the plot, then EP 6 happened and dude, things just escalated to another level, it just felt that Quinn was THE canon route or like she's supposed to be another MG, besides the relationship feels more fluid if you go DIK path.

I see what you mean, have a thoughts on this but this will be a complete OT discussion.

Yup, the more I played, it honestly felt like she was the single most crucial character in terms of the main plot and the way things are going, I'd guess she'll have one of, if not the most important role to play in the finale.

Not everyone wants to fix Quinn.
This. I've never really thought she needed fixing. It's more like getting to know someone that you don't like on first glance or based on initial interactions, and then realizing that they're actually pretty fucking cool to hang out with.

The only thing I don't like about her is the drug dealing thing but can you blame her? That's the place she grew up in, it's the only thing she knows. Hopefully in the future she will understand Rio's idea and will start to focus in college.

Copy that! (y)

I just hope it'll make some folks think before jumping on DPC's back (or any other creators) without at least trying to understand his position and blame him for the wrong reasons (no I'm not trying to defend him, I just try as much as possible to consider his position before moaning). At least DPC hasn't committed the ultimate sin of halting progress and start redoing earlier episodes for shits and giggles. If there's one thing that pisses me off, it's that.

To give you an idea, I know SG has FINALLY released a story update, but with all his circle jerking with redoing earlier episodes just for updated visuals, I'm not even curious about that VN anymore. It's lost all it's appeal for me. Same with Artimis and WIAB. Although I'll admit forgetting the reasons why Artimis was doing it now.

Any creator that decides to venture down that path midway of development instantly gets crossed off my list, unless this is being done to resolve a serious code issue or to expand an existing option or feature. But if it's to simply update the visuals!? They can fuck off!
