I haven't played this game in probably a... is there a yearly version of fortnight? A fortyear? 2 years basically... Anyway, I casually come by it and see NTR tag... Like, avoidable/bonus is all well and good, but a broken promise hurts more. The dude literally said no NTR ever in regular games. What a fall from grace after accruing so much good will. Sorry, i know this isn't what you responded with, but I just needed to get it out. It's done.
Yeah, whether or not that scene counts as Netorare or the broader NTR depends upon perception.
About Anita Sarkeesian... She's an idiot. I hate to say that as a very liberal progressive yet still somehow independent individual. She made most of her points through a VERY narrow lens and other times, she was straight up ignorant to the topic she was talking about. I think the most egregious point was that she argued that Hitman Absolution used prostitutes/dancers as a way of rewarding the player or something. And further talked about how it rewards you for killing them or something. Just some baseline lies. Big oof. I'm not gonna lie, I've played a lot of games in the past 3 decades, but I've never played a game where the rape of a girlfriend was a motivating factor. The closest (also a bad story) game was Dante's Inferno where the Main antagonist NTR's your wife. That's the closest one.
Yeah, as a progressive and male feminist, I felt I had to try and see what everyone was talking about so that I could respond from information. I agree--she did seem to set up a lot of strawman examples in order to make her point. Not a good approach. There were many cases where she misrepresented what was happening in the game. Her last attempt to be relevant was complaining about the very practical "boob armor" in The Mandalorian. The breast plate was still flat, but a little farther extended. Definitely not "cup armor," but she seemed to argue as if it were (more strawman). She was mainly talking about some of the early street fighter type games. If I remember correctly, some of her arguments actually drifted over to talking about action films too.
Lastly, it seems to me that I was right when I said you were a literal scholar. You nerd! Anyway, most of those words have an easy way of not using their protentious versions (I'm looking at "Areolae") by simply adding an S and structuring the sentence differently. I recall using the singular of Octopus can be used as plural too depending on structure. "Look at all the Octopus in the tank!"
Yeah. I think I tend to go with areolae because of biology textbooks. I tend to use the "proper names" of body parts as well.

I was amused to find that "vagina" is actually based upon a Roman era slang term. I remember years ago reading some amateur porn on usenet and having to pause when the author talked about "silver dollar sized nipples." My brain paused for a moment before I translated to what the author
meant. "Silver dollar sized areol...areola...areolas." There, I did it!
