I took it in a different way. Because of Sekai, Akira literally doesn't know how to express strong emotions via anything other then sex. He has no context on how to love without sticking his penis inside you.
I will definitely not deploy 'word of god' as a shield, because it is very shallow to analyze literature through only one singular lens, and because things may have changed over time, but Selebus explicitly referred to the game as a critique of religion in early F95 posts. And he spends quite a lot of time on twitter replying to republicans / Christians and making fun of them believing in, quote, a 'mythical man in the sky.' (Dear lord he replies to so many republicans.) So I'm personally pretty inclined to view this as a cut and dry issue where religion is being flatly critiqued. But, again, definitely not using word of god as a shield; the text is more nuanced than this.
I liked this interpretation of yours too, since it also makes sense, Akira himself mentions that the only way he knows to show love is through sex, he doesn't know how to do it any other way.
As someone who also faithfully observes the green path and will keep doing that no matter what, I still cannot in good faith absolutely believe that this isn’t just Selly jabbing players, especially when such mockery almost only happens to players who walk on wizard-free paths and not extensively all other red paths. It’s just him taunting players who choose the option HE created.
Know a bunch of anti-religious anti-Christian people that believe in "Gods." I was loose with the word religion, should have thrown an "organized," or been more clear and said "I'm no longer convinced that the games position is that all the gods in the game are bad." I would bet money that Sel is a practitioner tho.
See, I always took the dig at game mechanics as a dig on other games that force you to farm when everybody is generally just here to goon.
See, I don't think of the green choices having to do with story but actions. Like, you're right that the Sensei that red paths "grows" narratively to be a good person, but I don't think that's the point of the green path.
That's about as bad as me almost having a heart attack after hearing Sharou's music playing in the background of one of my niece's roblox games. Lessons in Love really does melt the brainAnother example of this game rotting your brain:
Wife played a kpop band's new song while I drove her to work, and asked my thought about it.

I had to lie and gave her some generic comments after surviving a sudden and immense deja vu because, my true thought is "this song reminds me of Molly", and it's rather unbecoming to think of Molly when wife was talking to you
PS. Interestingly, I feel like LiL, a questionable NSFW game, actually does Master Sakamoto's masterpiece a whole lot more justice than whatever this Korean song is.
