The problem we run into when we hang out on the forums (too much?

) discussing a piece of writing is that we run out of big things to talk about. Then we start nit-picking little things and, maybe, reading too much into it when it doesn't line up with reality.
Reminder: Suspension of disbelief.
LoDoN,
You're absolutely correct that in reality there's almost zero chance one of the girl-friends wouldn't have mentioned it to their DIK boyfriend. Or any of that HOTs wouldn't have said
something on social media.
But the B&R campus is a work of fiction.
We apply 'suspension of disbelief', accept that this is the way it happened because that's the way the author said it happened.
If DPC were to try and write it to line up with reality it would A) bore you to death, and B) make 'War and Peace' look like a
light read.
We should discuss our theories of character motivations, where the story is going, what we don't exactly like about the
story, etc, etc. to our hearts content.
But when you catch yourself nit-picking details, remind yourself of those 3 words. 'Suspension of disbelief'
PS.
On the topic of suspension of disbelief...
Why doesn't anyone complain about the MC being hung such that it'd make porn stars jealous?
Where's the complaints that:
"Hey! That guy is short and most short guys have short cocks! It's not real enough!
I want to play a short MC that a realistically small dick!!!"
