I find it amusing that the life lesson is "those women you idolize are nasty sluts. stop thinking they are anything other than a thot. they will fuck a string of shitty men no matter what you do".Seriously, i would never want life lessons from a fucking smut game, i have my life for that and mine doesn't revolve around being at home all day playing games, tobs and bubs need to fucking wake up and understand that this is a GAME, NOT FUCKING REAL LIFE, i don't about their likes and dislikes or opinions, i care about what i fucking like, that's one of the reasons i'm never buying this shit, the writers dissing me thinking i'm some kinda of weaboo that stays home all day and know fuck nothing about how life can be miserable.
Because except WSan all the authers that still work on it are anti power fantasy. For those that played TiTS except WSans part the intended target audience for this game are imagined like thoseon the other hand, why bother including this shit in the game? I don't want to be blindsided by finding out mai waifu is actually a nasty whore. The game is for fun, for escapism. We know real life sucks already. nobody wants that kind of shit they are peddling.

You might have a point BUT the best wife/mother material, that sweet subby chocolate amazonian Brienne still got raped by a bunch of goblins that "wE arEn'T aLlOweD tO KilL", quite racist too since we can only kill rapey demons/corrupted and not rapey [insert other races]Most of this stuff is speculation. That's simply a fact for any forum talking about what going on in game devs heads.
For instance, this specific thing that people just caught wind of happened...in 2020. The hobgoblin scene has been in the game for almost three years. It was also towards the beginning of development, when they were trying to do more bespoke loss scenes for companions, which they've since moved away from.
Savin also, from what I've seen, was the one who commissioned Tobs for the scene, not just something he wrote out of the blue. Not too mention that Brienne hadn't even been in the game that long, and the polls hadn't even happened, so Tobs being salty about Brienne is even more unlikely.
On top of all that...Brienne isn't more popular than Kiyoko. Not by the official polls at least. Kiyoko is the most popular companion by over 50%. Brienne is actually closer to Caits popularity than Kiyokos. So Tobs being jealous enough to write a spite scene towards another writer doesn't seem to have a strong reason behind it.
On top of that as has been pointed out, Brienne isn't actually the only one on the scene, just the only one people really care about.
Which is all to say, the idea that Tobs wrote it as some kind of spite move towards Wsan is...extremely unlikely.
Probably just got the request for the scene and was feeling kinda rapey that day.
It definitely wasn't a great scene on its own merits, I didn't like it. Tonally way out of wack with how loss scenes are normally handled.You might have a point BUT the best wife/mother material, that sweet subby chocolate amazonian Brienne still got raped a bunch of goblins that "wE arEn'T aLlOweD tO KilL", quite racist too since we can only kill rapey demons/corrupted and not rapey [insert other races]
If this is the case then does justify the scene significantly more as Brienne would have had a more niche audience back then so people wouldn't have been as mindful of it as they are now. But even still, if their discord is anything to go by, I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the competency of the Devs.Most of this stuff is speculation.

Unless we're talking back to the future shenanigans, your premise is wrong.For instance, this specific thing that people just caught wind of happened...in 2020.
The 4chan polls had around 200 votes, if I'm reading it right? The Patreon one had about 2500. Bias or not, we're talking a pretty big sample size difference (and 4chan REALLY hates Tobs, so there's a bit of bias there too).If this is the case then does justify the scene significantly more as Brienne would have had a more niche audience back then so people wouldn't have been as mindful of it as they are now. But even still, if their discord is anything to go by, I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the competency of the Devs.
Also, wasn't the official poll done on their Patreon? I'm not sure how it all works but if it was only the backers allowed to vote then I would definitely take the Polls results with a grain of salt. I'm pretty sure that most of the people that play this game haven't dropped a single dime on it. Also I think that Brienne won by a massive margin in the 4chan Polls, although I'm probably overestimating the size of the 4chan playerbase.
Not really my premise, just one of a bunch of points. But I think I might be mixing the dates of the imp tavern gangbang and the hobgoblin scene, so my bad on the dates.Unless we're talking back to the future shenanigans, your premise is wrong.
If I recall, that quote wasn't about him not liking Brienne, it was him basically patting Wsan/the writers on the back for getting players to do something evil.Which he'd admitted to not liking with that whole 'turning Brint into Brienne is the evilest thing in the game.'
Fair enough, but again, assuming it were only Backers voting, I'd take it with a grain of salt. Although I suppose it wouldn't matter to the Devs as pleasing a paying audience is better than pleasing a ...well, non-paying audience, which is reasonable.The 4chan polls had around 200 votes, if I'm reading it right?

It's quite literally your premise. If it's 2020 then your argument about the scene having been written at the beginning of development, and about Brienne having just been introduced in the game, and all that makes a degree of sense. If it's June 2021, then it just doesn't.Not really my premise, just one of a bunch of points.

Which Wsan himself seems to agree with, judging by his comments on the subject.
That being said, I'm pretty sure Tobs has sad he's not a big fan of Brienne before at a different time.
Not...really?It's quite literally your premise. If it's 2020 then your argument about the scene having been written at the beginning of development, and about Brienne having just been introduced in the game, and and all that makes a degree of sense. If it's July 2021, then it just doesn't.
Like i said, Wsan agrees with him. I posted the quote last time this came up, but Wsan mentioned that the only reason it doesn't give corruption points is that the PC has wiggle room to not know what happening...but not the player.He wrote a fucked up rape scene for Wsan's characters without his knowledge. He's not praising him. He's making shit up to fit his narrative.
Whether or not he's a hypocrite isn't really what I'm talking about here...this isn't a general defense of Tobs or anything. I'm not really a fan.Like, go on the discord, forum or whatever and tell him the foxes are inherently evil because they need to suck souls to survive, and see how fast he slams that take because it's not what he intended.
Similarly, write a rape scene for Kiyoko of the same kind he did for Brint/Brienne and see how happy he'd be about it (commissioned or not). Dude's a hypocrite, as if his avatar wasn't proof enough.
I just checked out the artist and I just have to say one thing.Sounds like a switcheroo bound to happen- "I can't get any rest ever since I was forced to worship those muscles".

Well that is some extremely stupid shit and is a bad look either way. You either have them doing it out of spite or they make rapey NTRish content for characters people are going to be attached to because... money I guess?It was also towards the beginning of development, when they were trying to do more bespoke loss scenes for companions, which they've since moved away from.
Then again, this is just a massive display of dev bias. Wouldn't be surprised if "they" tried to do more of these scenes in the first place just because of Savin.Savin also, from what I've seen, was the one who commissioned Tobs for the scene, not just something he wrote out of the blue.
Who is in the scene isn't really the point. Brint or anybody else being in it is just as bad.On top of that as has been pointed out, Brienne isn't actually the only one on the scene, just the only one people really care about.
Thank you for reminding me people have terrible taste.On top of all that...Brienne isn't more popular than Kiyoko. Not by the official polls at least.
Regardless of why it was done, what does it matter? We know it was done behind Wsan's back and was upset about it. That's all that matters.This is just an example of how speculating why the devs do certain things is super shaky and taking said speculation as gospel probably isn't worth it.
Yeah, it's definitely more of a CoC1 scene.Regardless of why it was written, it's a shit scene that doesn't belong in the game.
Well obviously, all the boring characters on on top and most of the good ones are on the bottom. People suck.Thank you for reminding me people have terrible taste.
Well I'd rather be posting about how awesome the new Berwyn content is but circumstances have made that kind of HARD.Speculation on why devs do things doesn't matter at the end of the day. If we're wrong, what changes? Nothing. And if we're right? Absolutely nothing.
Fair enough on the polls, altough that's some mighty bad taste on the patreon side, but that's pretty much what i said.Not...really?
The moving away from specific companions loss scenes is something Savin has said recently.
The fact that the polls weren't out yet when he wrote it is still true ( the polls and the dates I just posted, they happened in 2021 and 2022).
The fact that Kiyoko is still more popular on said poll is true.
The fact that Davin commissioned it...is probably still true (I'd have to actually look that up to 100% confirm amd I'm not quite that dedicated atm).
The only thing that changes is it was a bit later in development than I thought.
Like i said, Wsan agrees with him. I posted the quote last time this came up, but Wsan mentioned that the only reason it doesn't give corruption points is that the PC has wiggle room to not know what happening...but not the player.
The author is on board with his interpretation.
Sure, but going back to the beginning, did Tobs shut down Bubs when he brought up the Takahiro/Kiyoko stuff? Yes. Did he go on to write a rape scene for a similarly monogamous waifu without her creator's knowledge? Also yes. That's not speculation. Just tobs being tobs.Whether or not he's a hypocrite isn't really what I'm talking about here...this isn't a general defense of Tobs or anything. I'm not really a fan.
