Seriously, if you look at what the MC has done, a dick is kinda the least one can call him... But in this game, he's a somewhat loveable dick, who doesn't go out to make his victims feel like victims, even if they are. Objectively, what he has done: Mindcontrolled several people into feeling enough attraction to him to have some kind of sexual interaction with him. That is something we can do today, not as easily, and not well enough to avoid leaving horrid psychic scars. For what reason? To save someone who may or may not be a victim herself from making a mistake, by controlling her mind, turning her into a good girl without permission, and presumably against her wish.
But, that is something we have accepted as the premise of the game. We trust that he will leave happiness behind in thoose whose minds he have twisted to his own ends. Is it wrong to turn Callie into a bisexual with his magic? Within the logic of the game, no. By most people's real world morality, yes. Was it wrong to stop Callie from considering to seduce a nun, an act that if completed, within the game, would have brought more serious consequences than a rape, to both Callie and the Nun? Now, what kind of means are justified by that end? Would Callie have been happy in the long run without MC's intervention? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Does the answer to the question change the moral value of the MC's actions?
I for one, have decided to leave pondering of all theese questions behind, and just enjoying the game. But I have sympathy for
Avaron1974's position.
