EDIT: This question is only for people who: 1) are turned on by some or all of the items listed, and 2) are willing and able to articulate why they're turned on by these things.

Respectful question for the countless ardent fans of this incredibly popular game, including DrPinkCake himself. This is not an attempt to troll or offend. I simply have personal tastes that differ, and I'm curious if any of you can explain your tastes to me so that I may understand. I'm very much into "girl next door" types, or simple, authentic, cute, natural, fresh-faced, unadorned females--basically the opposite of everyone in this game, as far as I can tell.

What do you find appealing about:

* extremely heavy makeup that gives an unnatural look and obscures the face underneath
* painted-on eyebrows
* long fake fingernails with unnatural colors
* fake eyelashes
* facial piercings
* heavy tattooing
* unnaturally colored hair
* half-shaved heads
* bone structure that gives a severe, unfriendly look
* general vibes of jadedness, deadness, inauthenticity, severity, unnaturalness, invulnerability, and a sort of relative soullessness (as opposed to an innocent, full, fresh, present, lively, and whole-some energetic)

Some of those observations are objective and some are obviously subjective, but I'm just trying to articulate as best I can what I'm noticing and what I'm trying to understand. Thank you.

You do not ask a simple question, but a rather nuanced one that is dependent on subjective vs objective.
I too care more for the 'girl next door' look, but that does not mean any mix or all of the above attributes are unattractive. The question lends itself more to the old adage of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
While I can say what I find attractive, that does not negate what another thinks/feels of the same subject.
That being said, the best answer I can give is the following:
All of the above are illustrations of the world we live in where individuals (either male or female) attempt to 'project' a certain look of themselves to the outside world, but that is only one side of the coin.
That projected image, still must be 'perceived' by the rest of the outside world.
Thus while what one projects still must be perceived, and there is not always a correlation between the two.

I am attempting to give a nuanced answers to the same type of question. If you are looking for something more specific, with specific reasoning, then it would be in your best interest to ask a more specific question that allows for more specific details to the rationale.

And you might want to recall the old adage:
"You can attract more flies with honey, than with vinegar." - Being passive/aggressive with those taking the time to respond to you will not help get you the answers you are stating that you seek.

You see, on this date, MC confesses to Jill that she is the girl he falls in love with and is ready to do anything to see her, despite Tybalt's blackmail.
Jill understands that this is serious for MC.
No date > No this dialogue > They are just friends who had one date >route closed, Jill doesn't see him as a boyfriend and don't have serious feelings for him.

Of course it a important scene for Jill path but makes you look like bad friend to Sage it the same for Josy and Maya having to pick one all the time or saying I love you to one (though maybe 12 chances the latter who knows) DPC likes to make you pick one even if it should seem possible for another choice

Basically, this is the logic of immersive video games, you need to make one of the choices that will lead you along the path

You're only a bad friend to Sage if you chose to help her, and then ditch her for Jill, and that only happens to two kinds of players: new players who don't know any better, and manwhores who prefer Jill over Sage, otherwise you help Sage 90% of the time.

I thought about this for a long time, and the clues about how the MC should handle it are already included in the game.

EP9 is very important for the throuple. If the MC goes to Maya's locker room, the MC will have the date with Maya in EP11, and if the MC goes to Josy's, the MC will be at the lake with Josy.

In EP11, there will be a paradigm shift. It's very obvious with Quinn, but not so much with Josy and Maya. Only one of the two will have a paradigm shift, namely the girl who didn't have the date with the MC. But for that, you have to know what paradigms Josy and Maya have.

The three-way relationship is actually too wild for Maya. We learn about that in EP6 and EP9. Strangely, a girl on Maya and the MC's date in EP11 says she'd like to have a boyfriend like that. This girl is jealous of what Maya and the MC have. But if you read that in the game, Josy won't be able to tell her mother about the MC this playthrough so that the MC can be her boyfriend. Oops. Maya then tells Josy so that the MC can tell her that he loves her. Josy has lost both of them in that moment, and her greatest fear, which she expressed in EP5, has come true. Josy, who always found it hot to watch Maya and the MC fuck together, will develop jealousy. This is Josy's paradigm shift. Maya's paradigm shift will be so that she no longer sees a threesome as too wild and actually wants this threesome.

In EP2, we learn that Josy needs the feeling of being loved more than anything else. She wants to see her love at least once a week. Josy doesn't want to lose Maya and the MC. Damn, what happened to Josy? In EP9, the Oscar thing happens, and Josy starts to doubt herself. She doesn't want the change because of Oscar, but Oscar was the trigger for Josy to start thinking about herself. But much more happened in EP9.

In Derek's bar, we learn a lot about what will happen in the future. The MC already said something so that Neil will be very confused when he finds out that the MC has two girlfriends. In EP11, Neil was confused. The MC also said it was so that the family can't be kept out of it. Tommy finds out in EP10 so that Maya, Josy, and the MC are in a three-way relationship. But the most important thing is what Maya asked the MC about Zoey. The words that were never spoken between them. The problem wasn't the words "I love you," but the words "boyfriend" and "girlfriend." Maya registers this and ultimately learns how to deal with it when she doesn't hear the words "I love you" in EP11, but the MC makes her feel that way so that he loves her. Josy needs to hear "I love you."

"Boyfriend," "girlfriend," and "family" are the definitive words for everything related to the three-way relationship. Maya introduced the MC as her boyfriend to Helen and Patrick. The MC says Neil so he can have two girlfriends. Therefore, Josy should also be able to say her mother so she has a "boyfriend," and that's only possible if the MC goes on the date with Josy in EP11. All that's missing is for the Taylor family, Moore, and Bailey, to find out about it, so Josy and Maya can be "girlfriends." That will probably happen in EP12. When and where?

Balance at this point is pretty much gone. If scenes are close it goes to rp and rp can't be equal

Clearly there was a paradigm for Josy and Maya there feelings for each other aren't there anymore and prefer MC over the other girl

I already knew in EP6 that Zoey would return and wrote about it in this thread. Of course, many disagreed, even though it was obvious. In EP6, the MC told Sage that he should have followed his own advice in the past and that it was too late now. It was clear to me that this could only refer to his ex (Zoey), because the MC only had Zoey before.

But why did DPC bring Zoey back into the game? Most people on this planet wonder what would have happened if their first love had come back. DPC only posed this question in the game.
