Yeah, sorry, prolly shoulda added context but wanted to quickly save that post for making fun of shenanigans at a later date. Had been working on a "submission" but I guess it's more of a fan fic and that was one of the responses to it. by all means it's unpolished etc. but wasn't expecting that sort of a response, even quickly flipping through others' submissions i saw blatant very early spelling errors and tobs "baby bag" level sexual descriptions in them, which I'm not naming names or throwing insults it's just the standard for posts is very inconsistent. i also probably overreacted, but i dunno some 75% of the community and devs are just off and I like maybe one or two users i've met there. like sure, toss a "are you sure you put this in the correct forum, this is linear and should probably be in the fan fic section", toss some criticism, "bro kas doesn't act like this, arona doesn't act like this, your wording is off, this seems too edgy maybe lighten it, there's not enough dialogue/there's too much dialogue the structuring needs work etc", but instead a post like that from a dev, another one from the gameplay lead. people talked about how i "sidestepped criticism" but i couldn't even see any besides "you're stupid and stubborn", "stop writing", and basically "it's just a porn game bro".
hard to put into words without just sounding like a disgruntled fan but it came across to me basically like instead of a metaphorical boss saying "youre fired, your performance in x y z was low, here's how to do better in the future" it was "youre stupid, your idea is bad and you should feel bad youre fired" while the rest of the employees said "yeah you tell em boss, that guys a friggin idiot XD" while a page away theres someone poorly writing about sucking a dog mans dick getting "hm yes please enable comments"
by all means you don't have to baby people or anything but its just not a very welcoming place. tobs has a active reputation for salt mining and trying to intentionally piss people off, fans and apparently fellow official writers and it's waved off like "oh you!", bubblelord does the same thing but also doesn't even particularly care about the story, one of his original plans was to have takahiro and kiyoko drink a aphrodisiac wine and to bang rapidly and in great detail. (i have zero ideas why they even let him on to be honest, idve hired an additional artist, coder or given wsan a raise or something), savin has jack-all management capability and clear biases. with how anal (heh) they are about each of their characters the brienne hobgoblin issue imo is a really big deal. like sure, in the grand scheme of things a character gets assaulted in a porn game, ok whatever, but you think they'd let kinu get chucked in the orc tavern hogtied while one of them is pissing on whichever love interest watching she has? or even takahiro or leofric to be BTFO? and how many people do you know of that say "yes i love kinu she's wonderfully written, well executed, great character" or "leofric, takahiro and nakano really are just better than my character, i see absolutely no way that they could be countered"
"i love cait she's so wonderful and i enjoy her being so prevalent, banging everything but somehow having control over what i bang". probably not too much? how about "i friggin love brienne when can we marry her"? that's serious disrespect when someone nobody likes is given a great deal of respect but the character that appeals to a large majority of the playerbase, that the author has spent a great deal of time emphasizing being monogamous and cultivating randomly gets a purposefully brutal gang rape scene that has a variable for if she's pregnant, a zone before you can eventually marry her. anybody think azami's going to be able to be player ntr cumflated before getting with takahiro? i mean its just a porn gameTM surely they should have no problem with that.
tldr context was my fan fic being poorly received, most members and staff are weirdly standoffish and snarky imo, some staff blatantly like pissing off co workers and fans, and as said prior on this thread it seems like brienne's popularity isn't inspiration for tobs and savin to get good or maybe give fans what they want instead of totally owning a forum user from who knows how many years ago (hirrud, raphael, possibly others), it looks like they want to actively sabotage her design, and with savin pulling a "now now children" and not putting his foot down and giving a public apology to wsan, it looks unprofessional, biased, and if i was wsan i'd be pissed, doubly so that nobody on the official team openly supported me.
