But well... this discussion is pointless anyway. Plot's lost.
You haven't even explicitly disagreed with my main points of contention.
I hope that the conversation thus far has not completely turned you off of the discussion. I find it very interesting that you believe that the majority of the audience is maledom. Given how much vocal support there is for Beris at least, I don't blame you there. Makes me wonder how many people get this game but don't comment on it. Considering that the description for the game lists upfront that it takes a primarily femdom angle, I think that most of the audience would play more into that as I would think that the primarily maledom audience would look elsewhere upon seeing that being advertised front-and-center.
As for me, I am pretty much a switch that leans HEAVILY into femdom. I like femdom but degradation is where I draw the line. I'm fine with assertive, superior, sadistic, and egotistical characters but once the focus shifts to how worthless the sub is, I'm out. As long as the focus stays on the femdom asserting their superiority without focusing on belittling the sub, I'm in. Tabitha and Kotone are my favorite characters, although I lean more toward Tabitha than Kotone though because of her personality. Venefica handily takes second and Kaia and Trisha tie for third. Aside from Beris, I dislike none of the girls in this game.
That being said, Beris is a HARD turn off for me. To be honest I didn't realize that she was a maledom character till people started commenting on her here because I immediately wanted nothing to do with her when she showed up. She was such a turn off for me that I had negative interest in her the moment she was introduced. Both her interactions with the MC and the MC's interactions with her (from what I've heard in comments here) turn me off. I dislike both the degradation from her and the "conquest" approach for the MC.
I would like her to pay me back (monetarily not sexually) for the time I had to spend interacting with her in the Labyrynth.
On that same note (the perceived maledom bit that is). Tabitha though is a very interesting type of femdom character as she requires the MC to encourage her to take that role. She quickly takes to it and even gets excited for it when you ask for it. I find the hypnodom aspect to be really engaging. On the surface it looks like a maledom interaction but with the subconscious suggestions from Tabitha, it's actually a femdom interaction as you're doing precicely what she wants you to do. She is a character I would definitely not mind switching for since she just gels with me so well. Although, if they do allow you to go both maledom and femdom with her like the Wiki seems to imply, I'll still primarily engage with her femdom aspects though.
