Derek just got reprimanded by Jade, he wouldn't get off so easy in the real world right now.
I agree that the gay theme is a cliche used by media corporations to make money, but in the case of BaDIK it was presented well, unlike what we are fed today by all sorts of Netflix and others.
DPC creates interesting characters and stories instead of boring stuff, and he's very good at playing with emotions. The result was that I believed in this story - Patrick makes me antagonize him, and I want to help Maya (Haha, although this may be my saviour complex, i usually trying to save everyone in videogames
).
I understand your position about the conservatives, and it's good that you met only adequate ones. Where I live there are still crazy clichéd fanatics, as Patrick has been presented.
And I'm still surprised, I met people like Tybalt in my life - usually they are young people whose parents are in an "important position" and they are involved in corruption. Mentally poor people who seized upon the golden trough. Especially a lot of such "golden teens" on the roads, who consider themselves the kings of life, because dad bought them a Range Rover.
Of course I understand that Tybalt was made quite caricatured for comedic effect.
Slightly off topic, this is quite an interesting point: DPC has made the routes very different, I have not yet met a person who likes everything. Someone has a route that he hates or thinks is badly written. DPC certainly has problems with writing and I see that these are typical problems of a writer-architect.
But a lot also depends on our personalities and temperament. For example, I do not like Jill's route and I think that many things in it are written incorrectly and adjusted to the "plot".
Speaking of which, my favorite characters are Sage, Quinn and more recently Zoey. Coincidence?
