Oh merde, parles-tu la langue français aussi? Had to talk with my granny in the 'language of mordor' too, at least what I felt. I am so bad when it comes to learning diff langs, oh my... You make me confess to it all.
Aaand history is a thing too.
Wanted to prep a bit on communism and the 'anni di piombo' in Italy, so I thought it a good idea to show up with how they commemorated the transition of that period in media. So we are two of them, and I'm fucked for coming out of the closet. XD Are you my long lost sibling I didn't know of yet?? We probably had abandoned you in the woods...
About DmD, you can interpret a lot of games in this way, maybe depending on how prude you are. Loli this and shota that - to me it's more of a hen and egg situation - what was before?? Do not forget, the 'naive little nymphet' you already got 150+ years back, too, in the western culture. (Lewis Carroll anyone?? And he's an extreme example, think you gotta know.) And it's far far older to be honest, without going into detail.
So is it the 'naive girlie' topos, that had its
peculiarity with the japanese culture coming to the west - or - do we have the loli / shota phenomenon as a truly
separate development, and we need to take in consideration that this already formed western culture to some degree and our thinking about 'juvenile' characters first and foremost??
I grew up in a time when we knew cosplay already, and I'm not a youngster anymore. But I cannot remember girls did run around in short skirts, tits out, trying to be 'sexy' imitating a 'cute' eastern anime or game char that may be half their age in reality.
I do not believe this DmD game is created with such content in mind. There is a bigger market for games appealing to a wider audience, and truly young chars are mostly depicted as sidekicks. Although it is weird to have D being the naive 'lil Miss Sunshine', but as I said I do not think she is completely dumb fuck-brain dead, let alone out of her mind. I'm more worried about how her routes may end up, given the plans I had read about. Will it all end in corruption? Here I think the dev of Teacher's Pets hit the nail with the Meghan npc (think that's her name?), she is also sorta 'innocent' but mostly she is nervous and insecure about her body (again, big 'uns all the way :/). But there it is more believable to me. And you can play as an arse, don't have to. That is what me gusta the most. I got a choice.
The 'all chars are 18 at least, non-bloodrelated, I swear!' bs is because prudish Murica I believe. D could have been 16 years too, maybe this would fit better to her actions. Perfectly legal in enough countries around the planet. Also incest (which should be
more worrying for you tbh) needn't be a thing. I guess the game would still sell like shit without that stuff, anyway. Some other creators prove it. But that is something to question the devs I'd say. I for once do think nobody is
forced to play a game the way it is created. If you want you can imagine any other situation too. 'They are not 18, no way!' and 'why do they have to step-siblings?' - pages long convos about these topics is nonsense to me.
I am more concerned not about the phantasies and fetishes of some, but about them trying to make 'dreams' become reality. The other day I had read about a 20+ female, gotten knocked up by her 12+ year old pupil. I mean come on! Or is this better called normality nowadays?? This is why I hesitate to
condemn a game like DmD in a hasty way. You may know - those who cry wolf once too often comes to mind. Our societies got perfectly real problems too, sadly. This game is not one, at least to me. And there are way worse games than DmD for sure.
And thinking of Patreon - this is really a very special platform. The moment I found out there were girls getting sponsored for 'cosplaying' (let's stick to that, think you know exactly what I mean.) and they had 'higher tiers' for their sugar daddies, with extras... For a moment I thought that could easily be placed on Pornhub or go to some other websites. Yeah, they better keep a watchful eye on some of their 'artists', and I don't know what is worse. A game some think might be inappropriate or real people using it like it's a softporn channel. :/
btw ty for your participation. Talking seriously to someone and not bubbling along is a precious opportunity, even here. I think I should tell you this. Should also try to write more concise I guess. XD
