I think that the word "realism" is perhaps not the right word.As for IRL realism vs Fashion Business game reality, I suggest you all be honest to the end. Yes, I understand the point of view, which has been written about here many times before - when no one can recognise Monica and everyone believes her to be just a doppelganger. Yes, it may seem strange and unrealistic to some players. But let's look at it from the other side. If you want maximum realism, then the game just can't have what's going on in it. And all the humiliation Monica is going through, in any other country (other than some Somalia), would have long ago ended as soon as Monica would have gone to the prosecutor's office or called 911. So if you want real realism, then just admit that all these events happening to our Monica simply could not have happened in a notional civilised country.
So the idea of "doppelgangers" is quite viable and it fits in well with the rest of the invented game world, which consists pretty much only of hypertrophied assholes and perverts.

It is more the word "Believable".
It is understood that it's a work of fiction. Though reality is more sinister sometimes than a story can be.
So from that point of view i like a little more "believablility".
What i am saying is, that even though most construct maybe not making sense when applied to the real world, in games or VN, they work.
Though her character is made to be very self centered person and so would do certain things, other not. No matter the situation.
We are not playing a documentary but a soap opera. I think the question in my mind is mostly, would i do that if i were the character?
I hope my point isn't too offensive to fan's because this isn't my intent. For one or the other reason i have sometimes a little more of hard time to get into a game.
