Kinda hard to defend anything Quinn has done being a junky slut pimp though no? I mean, does she actually have any redeemable features...at all?

I wouldn't defend her actions, but there are moments when you can see some softness to her and that she is shit scared of what she's gotten herself into.

I think she knows that what she's doing is wrong, but for one reason or another, she's doing it anyway and has now gotten herself into a position where she feels she can't get herself out. But I think players will eventually have the choice to help her get out and in the process, crack through that tough outer shell of hers, and I for one will do just that.

She's good looking so her coming off as a horrible person is irrelevant to some

And yet that somehow doesn't apply to Maya. :WaitWhat:

And yet it is an answer. I mean what, is he going to start sending out merch (which costs money!!!) for a porn game? How many people would actually want a DIK tee shirt? Would you wear it in public? Creators on Patreon have to provide SOMETHING to their patrons. By giving them control over something in the game, they feel engaged, but because it isn’t story related he gets to make his story how he wants.

"DPC never added any renders just because he wanted to?"

How does your reply answer that? :D

That scene at the end of ep 3 was a major kick in the balls, and even after ep 4 and staying with them it still affected me, so I could understand why the MC was pissed because I was too. Not about the "lying", but because it felt like both of these girls would be lost if they got back together and I wasn't prepared for to lose both at the same time. After ep 5 I feel a bit better about it and can see a path forward, I just hope DPC doesn't crush that path like they did in AL.

I'll admit the flashback scene was tough to stomach, especially on my second playthrough where I was decidedly on their path from the get-go. Seeing them gradually fall for each other made me feel left out for sure. Nothing to make me harbor any bad feelings for either of them, though.

As for the "three-way" path, I'll be surprised if it stays intact for another 10 or so episodes but I'm rooting for that too.

Maya IS NOT a horrible person nor is she portrayed as such. The same cannot be said for Quinn.

And yet therein lies the strange dichotomy; Maya who is not a bad character is perceived as such by a number of people and is why they have no interest in her, yet Quinn who is shown to be a bad person doing bad things is perceived as a good character and many people are interested in her despite her being legitimately bad.

I didn't have any bad feelings for them either, but I do wish DPC had made a bigger deal out of they're "cheating" in the ep 4 library scene by making them unsure of where they stood and instead made more of the fact that they have feelings for the MC as the reason why they agreed to "something more". As it is now, it feels like they did out of pity and that's not a good feeling.

That's only by the people here. Quinn is certainly not portrayed as an Angel in game, or a character you'd really want to help out like Maya.

You are acting as if there’s one set of things that make a character of interest to all people.
I never hated maya but I wasn’t particularly attracted to the docile sweet ingenue archetype. Clearly the people who wanted that got angry that she wasn’t quite that.

Personally I love lots of quinn’s Character traits. I love her She’s playful, assertive, independence etc. Nor do I particularly take a black and white view to all of her activities/plans that some do.

I mean there's already a clothing brand named Dickies that people likes to wear, also, i don't know where you live but people in the US doesn't care what others wears since people gets offended so easily on everything lol, but I agree, special renders are much better than merchandises.

There's nothing strange with that. People may find villains more interesting and complex, just like some find good guys bland and boring. Villains through their villainy, present to us the harsh realities that exist in the world. They provide us with glimpses of the real world and it’s problems. Some also change our perspectives on things and provide new insight into the way of the world. Villains are just broken heroes’. If someone made a movie on their journey from a hero to a ruthless villain, we’ll root for them ( Am I right Joker ?).

Thanos is a genocidal warlord, a hero killer and a horrible father, he's still the real star of Infinity War.
