That's obvious, but he/she has has a big crush on the MC, despite being "gay". In the Manson male route, she acts all crazy in love when is near to him and suggests being female to him when buying clothes for "him", of course, if the MC follows a "sweet" route. What I mean, is the MC is transforming Manson instead of forcing him, maybe in the rough path this is the case, but I didn't do it.
That is not what is happening there. He is simply trying to protect Guy from being ostracized for being in public with a transboy. The "her" things is the actual facade not the other way around.

Because of power imbalance Mason can endure if you decide that Guy should act like a bigot. However Guy will not be changing Mason's identity because that is something he decided himself and no amount of corruption, bigotry and rape from the "dark/evil route" will change that.

You can try to check Neon's post about the matter for a more detailed answer. :)

So, it seems like have only 3 routes with everyone: friendship, romance, and abuse.

Well no you can corrupt and fuck, the best example of this is Ashe.
Well, Ashe has 5 routes (her ashrel variable can range from 0-4) but only one of them is described (2: friend) In general, the only one who has a route that's explicitly marked as "corruption" is Pepper.

tbh I never understood the corruption path in this game , maybe cause I didn't explore enough or corruption is something I find as a weird concept in most AVN's in general where it rarely feels like corruption to me because of the pacing.

To me it feels more like good path , be an asshole or dark path. Tho I don't recall if I explored what I call the asshole path enough and maybe that is what leads to the corruption more in this game.

But Ashe likes to be treated sweet and like to be treated like whore at the same time, seems like a future LI, in this update you can only ask Niki to be the MC girlfriend, but if you don't, things start to go in Ashe's direction; Ashe is the best fuck, blonde horny pawn stereotype. The thing is, need to figure out how each girl really likes to be treated on specific occasions, like in the Jacusi, if you be all sweet with Ashe will have a positive outcome, now on the bed after that, she gets really happy by being fucked in the ass, chocked and do ATM.

Neon also has plans for A Brittani corruption path where you fuck up her audition. I suppose it could be limited to certain LIs.

It's similar to the others in that regard. There's 4 variants: platonic friends, love, friends with benefits and fear/hate.
Don't know about variables but it seems in Mason's case it seems to starts on the friends with benefits role that maybe later can evolve to love.
I remember Neon explaining about the sexuality part of Mason's personality and how it was based in a relationship he had with a non binary person.

I've read some critiques of Nicki in the thread but personally I really like her. She provides a grounding to MC's past, and a symbol of your developing choices and progression.

The worst I could say about her is, at times, disliking the way in which she shows her displeasure at your darker choices (aggressively/bitchy), given her very submitted and otherwise acquiescent and subordinate relationship. I wonder if she'd have been more pallatable as a constant if she instead went more sad and vacant rather than aggressive, before turning to full commitment. Is the bitchiness the problem? To be clear, this is the sole critique that comes to mind for the focus on Nicki.

I am enjoying the ride.

Yes, he said that person was initially willing to do absolutely anything anytime and only once they got comfortable in the relationship did they start to set boundaries. So if you're on the Mason path, be prepared for him to start saying no at some point.

Nicki is my fav. I'm on the Nicki solo path so far, and I don't find her 'bitchy' really. She isn't above giving Guy a (verbal) slap if he's being stupid - which I think Guy needs at times. She's also super protective (and more than a little jealous).

Correct and incorrect. What the variable is doesn't matter, It's purpose is purely for the dev and to trigger scenes.

EVERY character had a corruption/humilation/Extortion route (or did last I played which was [Ch. 8 v0.57]) providing that route had actually started as some characters had not even started any route at all.

Holy shit, that's commitment.Respect. I've been busily adding my cocksnot to cute receptacles throughout. IRL, I'm much more careful (thanks Mom), thus the VN gaming (plus now married with fam).
