You said before version 0.5 that Eric is a good guy, is not it? Now Eric is still good for you, did you hear his phone conversation? Do you have a loved one? Do you want him to fuck with another? Do you want someone to touch it, except for you? .
First of all, i never said Eric is a good guy, i have pretty much stated the exact opposite. Not going into details, but sadly in my life I have come across one person very similar to Eric and he got lucky i found out his blackmail on my wife after he bailed town or he would have ended in a really bad spot.
At most, i said Eric is a good character for the game as he is a good archnemesis for the player to fight. Sadly that asshole i later learned went on pursuing a damaged woman pretty much like our Ann, he did real damage their and disappeared again. So there are quite a few themes this short game fringes on that resonate strongly within me, and not in the good way. Because while that sort of behaviour is apalling and actually in my country illegal, i make a clearcut distinction between a virtual character in a game that is made for you to fight, and real life shit. Little precision since we got there, i love incest games but would never move on my sisters or mom that thought is disgusting to me. Contradictions, contradictions... (or not, but that's enough about me)
Now that we got that out of the way, you'll notice i replied to your second statement as well. Now my experience with girls might not be the most extensive one in terms of numbers, but i consider myself pretty lucky. And amongst those that i was fortunate enough to love, there are a handful that were actually willing for me to have multiple partners and that was the expression of their love (some at the same time... and while you might think otherwise, yes i loved them very much and still live with one of them). Mind you i never demanded that stuff, they gave me that and some insisted on it. From extensive talks I gathered that because our love is really strong, only the feelings matter and open your couple to different stuff is an expression of showing that you care about your partner's wellbeing so much that you can even go to such lengths. I was always open about my major turnons and threesomes were part of that. I don't care if you like it or not, if you agree or not, i already have all i want right here at home
While I myself don't like sharing my partner except with women (which i have done, only watching or leaving them be), and when everyone is consenting to it of course, I understand and accept (and know, from first hand experience) that such can be the desires of some people. Then again this is not exclusive to women i've crossed paths with dominas (you might have guessed i am dom as well so just talking, they are actually the most understanding and cool people i interacted with in my life) with similar experience the other way around of course. I know this is not the most widespread behaviour but yeah it does exist, sorry if you are shocked by this but life is life. It's all a matter of being in sync with your partner giving them what they really want/need and they will reciprocate as long as you are open about your desires. It does make relationships way more complex but also really fulfilling as long as everyone is ok with that.
I know my experience is pretty different to most and it gives me a unique (i like to believe enlightened but hey, to everyone his own) perspective on dom/sub relations (way beyond the scope of the pain inflicting in bdsm), homosexuality, bisexuality, hidden or embarassing thoughts and stuff.
The writing in this game is pretty simplistic, but there are some clues here and there about Alice that echo with my own experience hence my theory. There are also those kind of echoes with Kate's behaviour. There are none of those clues with the other characters (so while DS's storytelling takes lots of shortcuts and has a lot to be criticized about, I still feel he gave different characters a different personnality and mindset)
That brings me back on topic (i won't digress anymore, not here to discuss my life only a game i enjoy), that was my theory, only that. I actually feel it sticks well with all of Alice's scenes, and i can actually draw quite a few parallels with my own experience. It's only a theory i might be wrong, if you don't like it or don't adhere to it that's your right, just make the game the story you want to be and let me do the same
Confirmation bias mode ON (or OFF, i don't know anymore and don't care actually)
@balabasuu 'submissive' does not equal 'slave'
you, sir, are in the know. Hats off to you
but she forces alice to do things she don't want and exchange her sexual favors for weed, that is slavery no submission
The weed deal only concerns Kate and Max, not Alice.
Alice doesn't need to obey everything and anything Kate says. I said previously I am a dom. Some of my subs refused doing certain stuff they were not ok doing. And that is normal! It is their right!
What Kate is asking of Alice is for her to do something she is extremely shy about but not something she actually feels repulsion towards.
Well that's one way to read this, i guess you could feel all this to be rape-y, and that might also be. We do not know what they talk about when it's only Kate and Alice, but i think Alice doesn't keep many secrets from Kate and Alice's reaction after the scenes furthers that opinion: she's only ashamed or actually saying she had fun, that's not the words of someone who was forced to do something unpalletable for someone you love.(Kate in this case)
ever heard of 'safe words' ?
