Yeah, well, the guy I was replying to wanted me to ask a stupid question, so I did
The funny thing about your example is that I'm sure a certain group of players would much prefer the cutting nips thing than some of the kinks you included afterwards. That's why I think what's considered controversial is a bit skewed because some people are just more willing to rage at certain stuff than others who don't give a shit in general. (...)
And yet you immediately knew which one I considered to be "more controversial". I mean, we are not talking about being unilaterally bad (note: cutting girls' nips off in real life would be, just like many other things available on this site, we're talking kinks and we're talking imaginary story stuff), that wouldn't be "controversial". The holocaust wasn't "controversial", it was pure evil.
But there are certain things which will be enjoyed by fewer people and which will also make the group of "don't care" shrink significantly, we see them on the forums. And I'd say we could call that "more controversial" as an inclusion. Just saying "there are some people who like A and some who dislike it, same as there are some who like B and some who don't" may be true, but while there is no clear cut off point I would not say they are the same without looking at the numbers behind all the "some people".
I agree. The MC is being blackmailed! WHY would a blackmailer give you a chance to win if they enjoy watching you suffer? They gave what they thought was an impossible task and you succeeded against their desire, so you get an automatic loss. We don't know Fetish Locator's end game. Just play it through. I mean it's not like your real dick is in a cage!
You are correct, a blackmailer wouldn't give you a fighting chance, but I blame media. We're so accustomed by now to villains holding monologues long enough to make the hero's friends learn Chinese, build a super robot from what they find in a garage, and come to the rescue. Or the logical puzzles where the evil warden gives you a chance at escape if only you solve the riddle (there are three guardians, one always tells the truth, one always lies, and one is mute, you can ask one guardian one question to find out who likes it up the ass) that in the media we often know there will be some solution. But that only holds at the end, during the story, the hero has to fail or the story would be over, and I agree that this is the case here.
