Oh, Eric... I still remember the flame wars because of that guy. Good times.
I think his inclusion to that game was what made me just stop playing, and i'm not one of the guys that hold the position that any kind of sexual encounter that the MC isn't involved is NTR, since like a lot of people pointed out, we're the "outsider" in a lot of relationships in this game. But there it just felt forced, probably because there was nothing else to the game. Dreams of Desire ended up being a lot better as an incest game. The older sister in that game is still one of my favorite female characters in porn VNs.
Anyway. KRJ is both a meme and liked as well, i think because of the lack of "nerdy" LIs or side girls. She and Sally are the only ones in the game that fit that criteria.
Besides, her scene in the gender studies class was hilarious, i cried laughing when Maya tried to talk to the MC and he was relaying the information about KRJ, the expression on Maya's face and how KRJ basically ran away from the insanity was amazing.
