YES, if this were the Dark Beauty route, it makes narrative sense, but this scene doesn't make sense now! Because of current events it doesn't make sense that this scene would happen now, it seems like it was done just to shock people and make us want to give up 100%
Wow, I 100% disagree this is what the story is about. Especially in regards to Akira, whose half-hearted attempts to "get better" were brutally executed along with Maya.
But also, if you think you will not like how the story will develop after that choice then... don't make it??? Like, damn, no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to play 100%, I hope. You'll miss the developments that will happen as the result of it, but if you don't want them, then it's not a punishment?

Nah, her arc's gonna get darker. That shit happened in her safest space, all her tools, the smells, they're all going to remind her of that moment. He took everything she had left in that moment.
We watched the start of a death spiral today.

I agree with you, that's the big issue. Io can't really be changed by this either way because they'd be way too different narrative paths.
Well, I said this before, but there is no choice in LiL. There is only: you either read the story Selebus wants to tell, or you read a poorly made version of it where things make less sense. I missed the event after seeing it once too, I get it, that's just the reaction any sane human being would have there. But that's just a fantasy at the end of the day.

I personally think that both outcomes have great potential, but it is glaringly obvious that having a choice here will cheapen the Io narrative. I understand why Selebus does this (to force player reflection), and I continue not agreeing that the damage the story takes is worth it.
I'm pretty sure that's not what is going on, it's more about the narrative of the story and how it might put holes into it. Just before the event with Io, you are with Yasu talking about how you must swim and keep doing the same that you were trying to avoid and then you are thrown into a situation where it makes you question whether that makes sense in a narrative way, I mean, most of this chapter has been about how he wants to be better and now you go and dick the one person who clearly doesn't want anything to do with it.
And as Bingoogus said before, Sel is a stubborn person who -despite giving you choices- has a one path road you are meant to follow, and we have no clear evidence to disprove that so far. This choice is the one that will give more impactful indication as to whether or not following the green path is actually needed or not IMO.
To be honest I am yet to play the last 3 or 4 updates prior to this due to work and other commitments but seeing what some have said regarding events in this latest update and how they feel incongruous with the narritive thus far, is it not possible that the memories/consequences of this event could be... deleted (for want of a better term) at the next reset anyway?
I feel like I remember there being precedent for that earlier in the story.

Stepping back from Io for a moment, I gotta say, damn, Rin is such a homie. I kind of hoped her discovering nudes would lead to something like this, but it was such a nice combination of extremely awkward and yet sweet.

Has Sel flat-out said we're not in the Dark phase yet? Or are people still insisting we're still in the harem phase because there are still girls he hasn't fucked yet? Because that was an asinine argument when it was first put forward, and it's just as asinine now.
It's been pretty evident since Halloween that we're on a downhill slide, thematically, so pushing Io onto a death spiral doesn't feel out of place at all.

Selebus told once that green path is about always taking worst possible decisions. As far as it likely obviously not correct, it is substantional.
Also, I am feeling a bit lonely with my decision to not rape Io. I made it more out of curiosity though, I expected that there is no actual choise at all
The Dark-Dark route starts after Chapter 5 by the recentish word of Sel.

Well that can't be true, being a bad homie causes you to miss scenes and i'd find it very easy to argue being a bad homie is the worst choice to make.

Scenes or events? I thought bad homie only changed dialogue (you get to kiss Rin if you're a good homie, but that's just a scene within an event). For instance, in this update we find out what happens with the trading nudes choice with Otoha (amazing outcome btw). But the event happens regardless.
Edit: I think it would be cool if at the end of LiL there was a counter of how much of a jackass Akira was when he had a choice, and that unlocked a secret choice at the end or something. But that's probably my rpg mentality at play here.

I think Sel said a while ago that """"canon"""" route, the one Akira as a character in his head would go down to, is 100% except bad homie, but it was a while ago.
You lose some events, yes.

Imani event was very cute. Good for replenishing sanity after the green thing incident.
