Indeed, and by itself, it does not trouble me in the slightest. What annoys gender-blind me is the double standard between redeemable female villains and irredeemable male ones of similar evilness. Now, I get that in practical terms, both authors and an important section of the audience may have a strong storytelling wish to 'salvage' redeemable hot villainesses as love interests, while for obvious reasons the vast majority of the fan community has no such wish for male villains. In order to reconciliate this storytelling concern with avoiding a tiresome double standard (I won't use the s***sm word since anti-sjw me loathes dealing with anything woke, including using the language of the enemy), it seems to me the best choice is to establish gender-neutral standards for villains and stick to them. If you are 100% sure you do not mean to use the attractive villainess as a love interest, feel free to make her 100% desplicable, do the same with the male villain, and expect to write a suitable comeuppance for both of them (or consistently write them as Karma Houdinis from the beginning, the cool villain getting away with murder has its own story appeal). If you mean to, be sure to write antagonists of both genders with similar levels of complexity and opportunities for redemption.And as for redemption - even Darth Vader reaches redemption.
Redemption, like a threesome with F and D?On the upside note, I’m working on Rachel in DMD right now, and if you lol at her scene where with D right after Rachel signs the legal documents, and the golf course scene, AND the “Do me on my daughter’s bed” scene, I’m trying to work in a more complex Rachel that can have both redemption or atomic retribution, depending on the flip of a coin.
I have the sense that Bethany doesn't actually make a turn at all--she just realizes she's in an untenable position and decides the best she can do is try to save face. I don't personally like the fact that a smart villain can dump the retribution on their dumb accomplice and get off scot-free, but it happens.As much as I greatly liked the vast majority of the last update, and it keeps fulfilling the high quality standards of this developer team's games, another thing I could not avoid getting extremely annoyed about in the terrible exes resolution scene was the obnoxious double standard between a female and a male of similar loathesomeness. Bethany is allowed a heel-face turn out of the blue, and let go with a slap on the wrist and a smile, while Steve stays clueless and unrepentant, and gets a beating and massive humiliation for his trouble. I would be more prone to forgive this turn of events if Bethany's redemption was the necessary prelude in storytelling terms to a nicer version of her staying around and becoming a non-abusive love interest, but everything points out to her leaving the story for good, and if the MC caves in and goes back with her, the controlling psycho bitch shall keep making his life Hell. As things stand, the double standard just feels like tiresome woke pandering to the female, or inability to write proper confrontation of, and retribution for, a villainous female character. If the Alpha Bitch and the Jerk Jock team up to deliver lots of misery on the main characters, I very much wish them to suffer a similar fate when chicken come to roost, thank you.

With Xianna you could just turn the Xianna/Sophie lesbian option off and they'll never hook up but you'll also have to do that with the Melody/Sophie lesbian option as well as Melody will also get with Sophie in this update as well.

I think your posting in the wrong thread this is the Melody thread not the DmD thread.
-------------
When I saw Melody's hairdo for the photo shoot it right away made me think about Elena. I find it funny that she has her hair done for the photo shoot and then right after that her hair is back to normal like it was never done up or dyed.
Multiple times I saw where the wrong name was being used for the person that was talking.
I keep forgetting how gay and stupid looking Stove is but the good thing is that paint net can paint over all of these males in this game and DmD.
I turned Izzy off during the Bethany scene to prevent her from locating the MC but it was rigged so that she finds him anyway/.
I turned Amy and Rebecca off when it became evident that the MC would have to pick who he wanted.
Sophie is unlocked as well as the Melody/Sophie lesbian.
Xianne turned down the message session but there was no way I was letting that happen so I turned her back on and the Xianne/Sophie lesbian is also turned on.
It was pretty hot having 2 lesbian scenes hopefully there'll be some threesomes and maybe even a foursome in the future.

That is why I posted it here.
