We're coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the game starting, I imagine the blackmail plot is at least 1+ years old, and the last update is ~5 months old. That's a lot of time for basically every theory to get put out there and be discussed in cycles.
Correctamundo!
Yup, which is the key to why I think Victoria (Delilah's other mother) is the culprit. Who could get Delilah to do anything against her first love, crush, and obsession? Someone she trusts and believes when they say it's all for Ashe's (and Delilah's) good, in the long term. So, family. But we know Kate and Fiona, and they are easily the worst suspects to be the blackmailer, so the off-screen Victoria jumps right to the front of the queue!
Well Delilah obviously found out somehow, i still think she saw them having sex. We know she lied that Fiona told her that much has been confirmed by Fiona. Could be that Delilah told someone, not necessarily Victoria but someone, or more likely that someone is pulling Delilah's strings behind the scenes. Maybe the unknown girl that was shown with that redhead chick at the end who was plotting to drug people with Elysium at the party, although i personally think that's probably someone else who has a beef with Vanessa, but i guess maybe she's the blackmailer although i doubt it.
I think the chick planning to drop Elysium in the party is that content creator Vanessa and Ashe bumped into on their date, Vanessa and her seemed to have some major beef behind the scenes.
An other option is Kate and Victoria have an open relationship, and the camera is a type of fore or kink play.
It's a possibility, but I think Kate would've mentioned it to Ashe at some point in that case. I mean Ashe is a bundle of neurotic anxiety, Kate would've most likely said something along the lines of "don't worry, me and Victoria have a special kind of relationship" since I think she knows Ashe enough to know that she is super anxious about shit.
Who do you think could pull Delilah's strings about Ashe?
It is a bit thin at this point. Especially since Kate seems a upset Victoria is away so long (often?) and maybe there's some distance building up.
Yeah, given the comments Kate has dropped, I think it might just be a classic case of infidelity on her part and I don't think Victoria knows about it at all. If she did, I think she would be far more aggressive in her blackmail than what we've seen from the blackmailer thus far, since it's all been pretty damn tame and more like someone who's found an interesting toy rather than someone out to ruin Ashe if that makes sense.
She doesn't give off the yandere vibes to me but ngl even though I don't think she's the main person behind the blackmailing I wouldn't mind if it turns out she is.
Well, she doesn't have to be yandere in order to willingly blackmail, all it requires is enough delusion on her part and convincing herself that what she's doing is for Ashe's own good.
Surely she isn't, because imagine putting one of Ashe's main LIs being the blackmailer would be a waste of a character, it's like if I loved Rachel or Fiona and in the end she was the blackmailer, you completely ruin Ashe's LI.
Oh true, the blackmailer did seem to be content with the relatively tame stuff they've got Ashe to do so far.
I mean the dev isn't opposed to doing shit that people don't really like. A lot of people dislike Rachel (myself included) for the entire intro and how she's been treating Ashe since then.
Honestly, my gut feeling says that we're still like 3 - 4 updates away from the blackmail being revealed. I think we'll get further hints and probably more hints towards Delilah in the party, but that anything more will be interrupted by whatever Elysium-fueled horror story will unfold.
