VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[WastedEfforts]

You're right, there's a whole spectrum, but since a lot of DIK actions are either rude, inappropriate, agressive or cocky, I conflated it into 'Jerk points' which got this "argument" started. While that may not be an accurate name, another thing's for sure - they're not 'Confidence points' by a long shot.

You won't be able to pull off half of those actions without confidence lol

One thing I disagree that directness and confidence are specifically DIK traits. In general a lot of the points are more about how MC expresses himself rather than his qualities. How a menu choice is worded is hardly an indication of what's really going on. For example a certain choice could easily be changed to "Shoo the bitches away"/"Invite the girls in".
A person can be both direct and confident without acting sexually aggressive or cocky. The Major choices are what's most impactful to MC's actual character.

Basically you have issues with male confidence and testosterone levels above average. Seems like if someone doesn't play nice, he's automatically bad or wrong. That's silly.

I guess it takes a lot of confidence to secretly peek at women's asses and boobs half the time.

I have issues with lack of confidence disguised through arrogance and the type of language you're using to appear more "manly" or whatever. But thank you for that deep analysis Mr. Freud.

Dudes without confidence can't even talk to women without spilling spaghetti lol
Besides MC peek openly, not secretly.
Checking out attractive female assets is nothing to be ashamed of. It's normal, healthy behavior.
The fact that CHICK player wouldn't look at tits or ass calls to question his libido, or maybe he's straight up coward, too afraid to be caught, so he play's 'nice'.

We have an expert psychoanalyst ladies and gentlemen. I will excuse myself as I'm obviously ill-equipped to argue with these prime examples of scientific fact.

P.S. I'd work on that tendency to put down others by claiming they have female traits, if I were you. Don't want people to think you're a closeted homosexual trying too hard, after all.

People like you and your idea that the only way to be confident and tough is to be a self absorbed jerk who'll pick a fight at the drop of hat and that's just asinine. You can be an actual nice guy(not one of those fake one's that thinks acting nice entitles them to get laid) who goes out of his way to be kind and caring and help people when you can and still be tough and confident. Your idea of what constitutes an alpha has no basis in reality(the alpha wolf does not behave at all in the manner people like you think it does, they look after the pack, not just the women but the betas and the omegas too, with the assistance of the betas, and you guys have no idea what a beta is either). You don't need to be an arrogant self absorbed prick to be tough or confident.

Wow. The MC usually gets DIK points for secretly watching the girls. So according to your wording, the DIK's have no confidence because they are secretly watching. That was an own goal my good man.

Also, CHICK players can look at the girls tits and ass and not even secretly. My MC is always looking at Josy and Maya's tits and asses.

Blades1138 is partially right with what he writes. Arrogance is very sexy for many women, but only if there are values behind this arrogance. Those values are definitely not how many women a guy has fucked or how fast he can drink beer. So you're talking about a form of arrogance that has nothing to do with self-confidence.

Break down the word self-confidence. Self and confidence. This implies that a person knows themselves and can trust in themselves. The top DIK Tommy, can't even put his hand up for himself because he thinks he has his drug use under control, which is not the case when you see him sweating. Tommy doesn't thwart Caleb either. Where was his confidence then. Oh yeah, actually all the DIK's wanted to quit after the destruction of the Mansion. Where was their self-confidence so that they could get back on their feet under their own steam?

I never claimed otherwise? lmao
Good thing DIK MC is neither of those too. He never acted up first, ridiculed, bullied or humiliated characters who didn't do the same to him or his friends first. Calling DIK MC a jerk is ridiculous.

A proper, honest, Chick MC ( player ) not does any of those thing. so you Basically a Hypocrite .
It's always the same thing with chick players. They coming with their moral superiority complex, because they not even confident of their own actions.

It's funny how you treat arbitrary points in a porn game as a measure for the real-life qualities of a person.

Cause DPC is obviously the authority on the subject. Cause a nice guy certainly can't appreciate the female form and still be a nice guy or want a fake id to go to the bar. Only a dickhead would ever want to do those things.

UGh, did I hit a nerve huh?

The whole desire to look up a girls dress thing is something that must have skipped me by in life. I always found that to be very childish behaviour.

It’s a different thing to enjoy a girl deliberately flashing you (like a frisky girlfriend in class), but otherwise it just comes across creepy to me.

That behaviour aside, what I like about this game is the mc’s confidence when he is a DIK. Whether you consider it to be a dominant DIK trait or not, the open flirting and more that he does when he’s a DIK is a lot of fun.

Him inviting himself into the jacuzzi was great (would have been a totally different experience if the girls freaked out and screamed for him to leave, instead that was only Heather… )

Even the way he pretends to size up Sage’s g-string after he’s only met her one time before was cool.

And inviting Mel and Sarah into the shower? I don’t even know what happens if you don’t choose that option!

Actually there needs to be a proper threesome between the mc, Mel and Sarah. Healthy competition and all is great, but combining forces would definitely be a better idea!

Do not call me a hypocrite. My MC is of affinity CHICK and always sees Josy and Maya on their tits and their asses. But that's not hypocritical because my MC has chosen to be romantic with them. Josy and Maya know this. Josy, for example, just enjoys it when the MC sneaks peeks and teases him about it. Pencil under the table, for example. There are several such teases between the three.

The difference is only when a CHICK MC does such DIK actions with the LI (Josy and Maya in my case), what he really wants. Then it is more of a flattery and confirmation to the LI that the MC wants her. But this charm is lost when the MC looks under every skirt.

You are completely wrong with your last statement. It is not a complex and I am very sure of myself. Damn is that confidently formulated. Your statement, on the other hand, rather suggests insecurity, because you tried to be insulting rather than factual in your argument. That is a sign of weakness. Freely according to the motto, he who shouts stops thinking.

 

[Blades1138]

Of course, because the measure of my confidence is determined by how I'm perceived by a kid, in an online forum about porn. Thus I have an overwhelming desire to hammer on those I perceive as weak to appear more "alpha". Oh, wait ...

Some girls like men in touch with their feminine side, others don't...

Yeah, Speaking of Facts, I still haven't read your comment that's say : Chip You were Right.
so we can come back to this once you done that

Even in a relationship with a girl, I have no interest looking up her skirt. Like I said, it seems creepy. If you're at a point in a relationship where the girl won't have a problem with you doing that, then I'd be more inclined to grope her ass or run a hand up under her shirt for a thrill. But peeking? Not my scene. So much so that I can't even get my DIK mc to do it.

And that brings me to this scene:

You gotta give some credit to DPC in regards to his ability to make players immerse/ insert themselves into his MC variants.

It must be part of the reason why the the DIK V CHICK debate becomes so entrenched. Players seem to attach their own morals to both the MC, his choices and in their interpretations of the affinity system as a whole.

It’s probably worsened by the fact that peoples choices varies quite a bit between runs. IMO the judgement of the morality behind a significant amount of the choices, depend heavily on the specific nature of that particular play through. Wether or not the player thinks or wants his charter to be emotionally invested in an LI or not. The characters he bonds with counts, hell even your sense of humor can guide you down many divergent paths.

I think that the MC will almost always being viewed sympathetically by most characters regardless of the runs. IMO you almost have to go out of your way really be a cunt to as many characters as possible. Which IIRC ironically brings you closer towards neutrality affinity wise, but again the combined weight of the choices matter. That’s just my two cents .
