The thing is this, I think the whole point of the choice is to somehow show both the struggle of a twisted man who talks and bonds with sexual contact only find it's way to share that love with it's total opposite (Which by it's own is an extremely interesting subject), and to show that same men trying to show those feelings in a way that both parties can't even understand, that's the reason Io is so weirded out when Sensei leaves the room, she literally thought there was no other way, and we will now see how much Sensei will be able to handle a relationship like this, which is why I also think this is not a closure point for Io's route, both rather an alternative approach, both options sound fucking wild and I this whole thing is probably one of the most brilliant choices Sel has done in the last updates regarding branching narrative (This last thing is actually referenced in this very update, even joking with the fact that Sel doesn't want things to get out of hand).you are correct in your analysis of the scene, but imo you should not overlook that this was a deeply disturbing event and we're dealing with people's first reactions to it. Even if someone posted a wildly emotional response to it, that wasn't well thought out, I wouldn't be surprised about it or judge them for it.
secondly, I think the two of you are talking about different things. As you are talking about how Io and Akira are viewing that situation in the present, he's talking about the narrative ramifications of his choice in the future. If Io somehow gets better through reliving her trauma in such a bizarre way, well, that would be questionable storytelling at best. And I agree that anyone that questions where Selebus is going with this has reason to do so in many levels.
As it is, we can only question it, we'll know in a few months.
Relax man, that message of mine was more of an outburst of what I was feeling at the time because of the event with Io, I understand how Akira's Mind works for Sex, but what I was also trying to say in that outburst of mine is that in My opinion is that if Io starts to improve through sex it won't make sense to me, it might make sense to other people, but for me it doesn't and I'm worried about how Selly will make her improve now with this having happened without it seeming forced.I've never seen anyone lose the point of an scene this bad before. The whole fucking scene has this puke inducing atmosphere all tied to it, you literally see a man showing love through the only way he knows thanks to his broken state of mind, constantly trying to make another broken person to enjoy it as well because he literally doesn't fucking knows another way, he is confused the whole time, he can't even understand the situation he is in, all fucking points to the fact that You. Fucking. Can't. Deal with this shit trough sex in such a tragic spot, and you still find your way to say Sel thinks you can cure SA trauma with happy lovey dovey sex.
It's literally to sides of the same spectrum colliding, one that sees sex as the only coping mechanism and the only way to show affection, and other that is totally adverse to the idea, yet indulges because in it's rotten mind, it's the way things are, she literally tells him that "that's why she is there".
And it's even crazier to me when this whole fucking update constantsly reminds the reader how Sensei views sex and what does it mean for him in relationships with the ones he loves. I'm really sorry if I sound like I'm making a big deal about it but seriously what the fuck?
Go to the dorm and talk to herI'm missing two events with Futaba, how do I start them?
I get shampoo'd when I go to the dorm. Maybe my lust isn't high enough.Go to the dorm and talk to her
I don't think anyone disputes the idea of a choice in theory, but rather its history of being applied in this game. Don't get me wrong, I do hope it turns out to be brilliant this time because, in my opinion, so far, every time he presented a choice, what followed ranged between mediocre and awful.The thing is this, I think the whole point of the choice is to somehow show both the struggle of a twisted man who talks and bonds with sexual contact only find it's way to share that love with it's total opposite (Which by it's own is an extremely interesting subject), and to show that same men trying to show those feelings in a way that both parties can't even understand, that's the reason Io is so weirded out when Sensei leaves the room, she literally thought there was no other way, and we will now see how much Sensei will be able to handle a relationship like this, which is why I also think this is not a closure point for Io's route, both rather an alternative approach, both options sound fucking wild and I this whole thing is probably one of the most brilliant choices Sel has done in the last updates regarding branching narrative (This last thing is actually referenced in this very update, even joking with the fact that Sel doesn't want things to get out of hand).

When comparing both paths of the Nodoka's blackmail, if Yumi stormed out then the following events barely make sense. If Kirin didn't blackmail Ayane, you lose Ayane fighting back and Kirin actually being human trash instead of just talking about it. If Akira was a bad homie, then the game just forcefully brings it into a stalemate between the two of them anyway, after you miss a bunch of stuff.
And it's always about missing. I have stated this before, you cannot make a good branching narrative on a game where branches only ever go one way. Io's third event is supposed to happen - and if one chooses to "miss" it then her eventual development will either not make as much sense as it should have, or there will barely be any development either way in order to maintain narrative cohesion.
That's the point I think most people are making. It's a worry about where this will go from here, rather than what happened right now.
I just finished the whole thing after like 6 hours, I feel like the initial impact is mostly gone as well. Initially I came here right after I saw the Io event because I sincerely was not expecting it, at least not this update, even though quite a few people in here literally called it before when we saw what her events were called.The thing is this, I think the whole point of the choice is to somehow show both the struggle of a twisted man who talks and bonds with sexual contact only find it's way to share that love with it's total opposite (Which by it's own is an extremely interesting subject), and to show that same men trying to show those feelings in a way that both parties can't even understand, that's the reason Io is so weirded out when Sensei leaves the room, she literally thought there was no other way, and we will now see how much Sensei will be able to handle a relationship like this, which is why I also think this is not a closure point for Io's route, both rather an alternative approach, both options sound fucking wild and I this whole thing is probably one of the most brilliant choices Sel has done in the last updates regarding branching narrative (This last thing is actually referenced in this very update, even joking with the fact that Sel doesn't want things to get out of hand).
That is indeed a very good way to summarize it. The choices have mostly come down to "do you want to miss some of the next few events or not?" without a way to have the missing context presented in a different way, it's just not there.I don't think anyone disputes the idea of a choice in theory, but rather its history of being applied in this game.

There's no way to get to the dorms if you have the shampoo. You can fix your save by downloading URM and settingI get shampoo'd when I go to the dorm. Maybe my lust isn't high enough.
