VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.4] [Caribdis]

I cannot relate to your mindset and have no interest talking to you.

Best wishes

It's a concerning sign of the times when empathetically engaging with a member of the opposite sex makes you a "sucker idolizing mediocre pussy".

A literal madonna invites you to see her perform in a legitimate sporting event and to simply support her without publicly embarrassing her. You manage do that, the bare minimum, and so she welcomes you onto a private beach and playfully implies that she's caught feelings for you, and you can't even imagine wanting to explore her personality and emotions in a conversation? To listen when something is bothering her, and to offer her legitimate advice and support after what was effectively a nasty and embarrassing experience?

I don't mean this as an attack, so forgive me, but this is reptillian behavior. It seems like a lack of fundamental interest in others combined with the view that people are calculating creatures at their best.

Dad is alive. Mom is a cypher.

What do you mean by cypher if you don't mind me asking?

 

[e6mill]

What do you mean by cypher if you don't mind me asking?

There is a total of 1 sentence in the game about mom. And it doesn't give any info other than that she left when Orion was very young.

 

[Finuee]

What do you mean by cypher if you don't mind me asking?

Probably that the identity of Orion's mother is one of the things people have been theorizing about.

Like written before, I don't criticize genuinely good behavior. I'm allergic to buttering girls up with compliments/kindness to get sex. Because I dislike the sucking up to them and because its dishonest.

In addition to that, MC in that scene tried to improve her self-esteem, which is fine if its done with pure intention (which is questionable as he isnt concerned with changs or micaelas selfesteem). Its also sucking up to her, because if he had a spine he would tell her that NOBODY cares about her stupid weightlifting. Even fitness thots are aware enough to know that the only reason they lift is keeping their body attractive. He would also tell her that continuing kickboxing will make her look like a pitbull and that, YES, men care about her looks and couldn't care less about her kickboxing. That 80% of the reason any guy cares about anything she does is that she is hot af. Giving her a dose of reality would be a genuine show of benevolence instead of telling her what she likes to hear and let her continue with her idiotic endeavours that will bring her absolute nothing - a girl fretting over a weightlifting competition kek. Does she wanna look like micaela? Everyone aside chang sees her as a freak, including MC. He should tell her that. That would be honest for once. And it would put her at ease at the same time.

TLDR: We can't have good things because men lack the spine to tell girls that what they are doing is prime stupid.

RANT OFF lol

No attack taken, friend. We just exchange opinions.

Simp/whiteknights usually mean what they say tho. Orion having ulterior motives essentially muddies that.

Also funny how you basically dismiss Orion being a bad boy when your definition of bad boy basically applies to his scene with Maat (and to a certain extent him fingering Penny during her photoshoot event despite her overall hesitance on the matter and Nova's first penetration scene as he essentially pushes her into not using protection despite her initially wanting to honor her mom's wishes). Or are you gonna move the goalposts again and say that doesn't count?

This is not a battle, fellow internet user. We just talk about an interesting aspect of a fictional character. I have no intention to move the goalposts. I'm conversing in good faith and I think there was a prior situation where I realized you were right and said so.
I havent reached the Nova scene yet. Didn't he just give maat and penelope what they wanted? Fucked maat hard? I dont remember well, but didn't penelope do the "I say I'm not sure, although I really really want you to go further"-thing? I think the one moment where Caribdis tried to make MC act like a bad boy was the Alex pen compliment at the very beginning - although it seemed very try hard.

Simps/whiteknights may mean what they say, but the reason they do it is not genuine kindness but an exchange - kind words in hopes for sex. So I agree, its not really lying but still dishonest. Because they don't give that kindness to non-hot women. So they are at least subconsciously calculating.

If a guy is nice to a girl just because, I wont complain. (Ripples MC does that sometimes.) Nor will I complain if a guy purely wants sex and doesn't hide it in slimy words.

So what you mean to say is that you want him to be more forthright about his intentions? It's an interesting take for sure. I mean this is a game so with the extension of disbelief the pit-bull thing would have never crossed my mind.

In Orion's defense, he can't just instruct her not to do what makes her genuinely happy in some misguided effort to course-correct for her. The fastest way to lose a new friend is to try to smother them with your guiding wing.

If Orion is thinking critically, which with a brain like his he better be, he's probably already considered that and thought about how she feels and decided not to breach the subject because he believes that it's not his choice to make for her.

Really now? Is that how you see it? Cause last I checked simps/whiteknights are do-gooders expecting some kind of reward but they more often than not never receive it because they're usually portrayed as cowards or turbo-virgins who never really plan beyond just being someone's doormat. Contrast that to Orion who may seem like a simp/whiteknight but is an absolute horndog who does shit to get laid to the point that he doesn't hesitate to drop the do-gooder behavior when the opportunity for a lay presents itself (at least, prior to the ending of 0.7).

Yeah, I enjoy watching MCs who are genuinely kind and don't hide that they also like to fuck.

I agree, I also wouldn't tell a new friend what to do - if he's a guy. But MC doesn't want dalia as a friend, he wants her as a girlfriend, and contrary to popular showing in progressive movies and such, if a girl is into you, which dalia obviously is, they like being told what to do, and they especially like a guy who is not afraid to tell them what they don't wanna hear - as it shows them he will be honest in everything and that they can really actually trust him. Girls still like dominant masculine guys imo, even if they say otherwise when asked. As the saying goes: Dont listen to what they say, look at what they do. lol

If simps/whiteknights understood it in their heart that what they do doesn't work they wouldn't do it.

MC is not simping in every single situation, in that japanese concubines scene he was just merely a weakling for not doing what he wanted. But he still simps a lot imo. And in a sense he kinda simped for the two japanese chicks, as he would have abandoned important matters to have sex with them.

About your first example: I cannot believe you are serious, Dorfnutter. Manipulating? She practically begged him to continue. Until just recently every man knew that "no" many times means "yes" if shes attracted to the guy, and thats how Caribdis used it here. MC just did exactly what she wanted. If thats your definition of a bad boy...
But it was not simping, thats true.

That is not simping, that is horndog behavior. Get your definitions right, unless by your definition ANY man who craves for a lay is essentially a simp?

Also, Calypso forcefully teleported Orion out of that situation. Hardly weakling behavior...unless you're suggesting that he should slap a being who can disintegrate him with a mere snap of her fingers for keeping him from getting laid?

Manipulating? She practically begged him to continue.

Yes. By continously fingering her despite her repeatedly saying no until she gave in. Manipulating isn't just verbal, but can also be done through actions. Or do you honestly think that doesn't count?

Until just recently every man knew that "no" many times means "yes" if shes attracted to the guy, and thats how Caribdis used it here.

Sounds like rapist mentality. Hardly something that falls in line with simp/whiteknight behavior, but fits horndog behavior to a T (which Orion is).

Be careful what people tell you, because it may not be true... I can assure you with absolute certainty that women do not like being "told" what to do as much as you don't.

Sorry, know it first hand.

Sorry, know it first hand.

Bro youre embarrassing, quite a few girls like masculine and dominant men, thats nothing new. But they still dont like inconsiderate idiots even when they think/pretend to be masculine lol

youre cringe

 

[mike12013]

if a girl is into you, which dalia obviously is, they like being told what to do,

Much Andrew Tate, very wow.

I've been with my partner for over five years now, so i'd hazard a guess and say she's pretty into me

If i sat here and hypothetically told her to stop going to the gym, or reading lewd books or playing games on her phone or whatever bullshit thing you want, i'd expect a fucking slap, not her fawning over me even more.

Call me a feminist, simp, white knight, whatever you like, women have autonomy, they have their own likes and interests. If someone enjoys working out, whether it's for aesthetic reasons, because it helps their mental health or quite simply they enjoy it, not one woman i've ever met in my life would appreciate being told not to do it.

Yeah, that last few posts were enough for him to go on "the list." Sad, there were some good conversations. There was also too much stupidity.

This is the saddest discussion I've ever seen here. Granted, I haven't been here for very long. I hope you guys realize that if Orion Richards were real, he wouldn't want to be dragged into this absolutely braindead argument.

Just add the troll to ignore and move on! This isn't his first time, the dude is bored, it happens.

Let's discuss whose butt's is better?

Son, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if perverts on a website like F95 have their spines bristle when you say something that's sexist then you have found yourself at a very important, serious crossroad.
