Bruh...whut?I think, what I am seeing here in some posts is why women are so reluctant to press charges for rape. The unsympathetic cross examination is simply not worth it.
Vivian went to the backyard with Christian on the first night knowing she was going to get fucked. She went willingly, and then spent the whole night fucking Christian. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would know that a guy IN THE NEXT ROOM would have heard her ruckus, but she did it anyway. Every subsequent time -- every single one -- she had the option to not have sex with whomever, but she chose to have sex. She chose.
There's a rule in watching magicians: watch the hands, not the mouth. The mouth says whatever it wants, but actions don't lie. And people who really don't want to do something that they know will destroy someone the love...don't do it. Just, period, they don't do it. They eat the consequences, no matter how bad they are, rather than inflict egregious, gratuitous suffering on the people they care about. Sure, we had a lot of internal monologue about how guilty she felt, but it never delayed her for even a second in causing Hutch more pain. The only possible conclusions are that she never actually cared about him, or at least she never cared about him more than her own personal gratification.
Of all the sex scenes in the game, the only one that might conceivably be called coercive is the one in the hotel near the end of Chapter 2 -- you know, the one where she revealed herself to be a hateful cunt toward the husband whose heart she'd spent both chapters carving out. Even that scene, she absolutely could have chosen to leave. She didn't because she liked it, as she admitted in the last scene.
There is no doubt Christian is an utter sociopath: he manipulates people solely for the satisfaction of seeing them destroy themselves for him. But just because Christian is a sociopath doesn't mean that Vivian is is victim or is innocent; she's a willing partner in Christian's evil actions toward Hutch. She tells Christian he's an asshole, tells him not to humiliate her husband, and then gleefully fucks him and humiliates her husband herself. Forget what she says -- she hasn't taken a sympathetic action in the entire game.
Oh, and BTW, you know a game is well written when it can evoke this kind of passionate discussion.
