Have you ever tried to to talk to a rape victim? I'm guessing you haven't because if you had you'd know that it's pretty fucking hard to get them to open up about it and pressuring them to talk to you does more harm than good.
Also, you have some people, like Haley seems to be, who may not think it was rape or grooming because they were too young to understand and when they got older and looked back on it, they either continue to live in denial or recognise it for the what it was in hinsight and are too traumatised by that realisation to talk about.
Aside of the insults to people you disagree with, I agree with the above +
Some rape victims or victims-of-statutory rape (seduced when 15-years old) feel
shame over what they have done, and Haley's mother reaction (probably blaming or partially-blaming her daughter) wouldn't help.
I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't want to fuck some of my pretty teachers when I was 14, but I am happy it didn't happen. I would have taken it quite bad after the relationship ended and I figured out I was a notch in their bed.
To add, Haley just felt like a completely different character from the one that we were courting through the game, up til she decided to have sex and started going full kink. Sandra at no point felt like she was hiding her abusive past, nor was there any hint of it and suddenly we were hit with a out of no where revelation. Good writing or not, again this does not fit with theme that the game started with. Just because it turned mozart while I was listening to pop, doesn't automatically make it a masterpiece.
I completely disagree. I figured she had such issues since the talk with her uncle in the beginning, where he said to the MC to watch it and since she was uptight and said she had bad experiences with sex and as such, she had great trouble opening up. It was there since the beginning. And she was quite traumatized to develop phobias and obsessive traits.
The drama with the "that traumatized girl trusted the MC and he cheated on her with... his sister" is very worthwhile IMO.
And I also was finding Haley's behavior bizarre, so I assumed that this is either because of "porn game, hah hah, don't look deeply in it" or because of ... something serious that would give credence to it.
As for Adriana the boss? I expect there's more there than her husband neglecting her and cheating on her. Perhaps she lost a child, perhaps she's barren and blames herself for not being able to hold her husband or some other deep regret.
And what's the name of Sandra's friend? The one with the threesome that gets boyfriends and dumps them when bored? I think there's something dark there too and it has been creeping through the dialogue with her.
Frankly, she seems more the kind of "Klauss-victim" than Haley to me but I doubt everyone has the same story.
In short, those funny characters we've seen through the game, have those "trademark quirks" because of believable reasons, not because they are thin caricatures.
TL;DR: All in all, those funny and quirky characters in the story have their reasons to be that way. We've figured out the reasons for two but don't expect Sandra's friend to have a nice and warm and fuzzy background story and there's also probably something sad in Adriana-the-boss story.
That makes a good story.
Not sure what I'm feeling right now. Just know we're in the guessing..middle of the story so there's a lot we still don't know. Enjoying the characters, the sex, the story.
But, wondering. Does it seem like Haley is trying to get pregnant?
Yes. It certainly seems that way.
