Yep, quite agree. (y)
But, to be fair, her lack of social skills & awareness is probably not helped by the situation with Charlotte. You can see her being particularly protective of Emma, so sheltering her.
That does not excuse her lack of critical thinking & perception.
But, maybe being sheltered is why she's still immature & unaware.

I know most people here are protective of little Emma. So, I wanna tell those people that.... Emma is a little dumb. All right? I'll say it again, she is a naive little dumbling who thinks she's a little princess and everyone in the world has a panda gif.
For fuck's sake, it's not like she's homeschooled. This is where sheltering and anti-social behavior come in. All right, I'm a little anti-social. So I won't judge her based on just that.
You have a television, a pc, a cell phone and internet in your home and what do you do with that? You don't fucking use it! Turn on your fucking TV and watch at least CNN. What's the worst thing that could happen, eh? She might become a little racist and report you for sexual harassment. Other than that, it's all good!

I'm only going after Charlotte in this one. Emma's way too immature, Suzy just wants to be an asshole, and Lucy is not my MC's type. Don't have a problem with Kaylah, but since I doubt there's a harem ending, I'll stick with Charlotte.

I think it's largely dependant upon the genre & setting of the game.
If a game is set in a fantastical environment, then I quite expect there to be unrealistic things.
Unrealistic things, e.g. magic & dragons, work in this environment.
If the game is set in the real world, however, then it needs to be comparable with the real world & how things work here, because this is the environment its operating in.
Unrealistic things do not work in this environment, unless specifically justified.

If something does not fit with the game's environment, then it can reduce player immersion.
Being unable to identify with a character, because of their behaviour, may have the same effect.

N.B. I am not suggesting that Emma being naive to dumb does not fit with the game environment, it does.
I'm merely explaining why "some people" might expect realistic reactions & responses from VG characters.

I agree completely with what you said sir, unless we want to play in fantastical games like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty , but may be I did not express my thoughts clearly, what I mean is I want to have hope which may be/may be not exist in real life, I play a Masterpiece game (of course in my opinion only) in which my girlfriend commit suicide , then she had been rescued and been paralyzed , then have been cured and every thing return back to normal , this what I mean sir , of course in real life she could been paralyzed and could not be cured and live the rest of her life paralyzed and gradually her friends and boyfriend abandoned her and so on , SO ,I do not want this kind of real life in games.

Yes, absolutely agree.
There's "realistic", then there's "too realistic". lol
I don't want all real life consequences.
When I jump off a building in a game, I don't want to end up in a wheelchair with broken legs:eek:, I want to just land & run off. :LOL::ROFLMAO:
But, in a real world environment game, people should still behave in realistic, relateable ways.
Their actions & interactions should be believeable. (y)

So I think that's what people are asking for, when they want "realism".

That is beautifully put. That debate is wide though, and can be applied to every media.

"Realism" in a game is usually one side of the scale, the other one is often the "fun". It's a balance to find, and it can never please everyone, but I think a good balance can be achieved and please most of the public

Another example is Tom Cruise. I'm okay with Tom Cruise.
