Good point. What I meant to say, and I think I worded it poorly there, is that the scenes are written so well it genuinely makes you feel bad for having made the horrendous choices you did so as to see Kim's femdom content - in essence, even if on that particular run you don't identify with MC at all, some of the scenes in the last chapter made me feel bad for the choices I had MC make, as if I had made them. (that scene with Jen was particularly sad - of course if I had played a "Kim only" submissive route MC would've hurt far fewer people by choosing her, but I didn't want to start more than the 3 playthroughs I've already got going , and so out of laziness on the full kim sub run I basically roleplayed a debauched and principle-less MC that would submit to all the LIs I was interested in)I'm confused though, I wouldn't call that gaslighting, I think of 'gaslighting' as someone trying to make you believe a false reality, but with Kim's femdom, it sounds very much like that BECOMES your reality. If it's the most humiliating hardcore femdom path in this game, this 'self-hatred, existential dread and deep-seated emptiness' sounds pretty congruent, not removed.
Granted I havent played the route because Kim causes my lunch to come up, so you know it better than me.
Just to clarify, that was not me trying to complain about Mr. Silverlust's writing - I think it's great that he wrote vivid dramatic scenes that evoke deep feelings and get you to feel bad for his characters and regret the choices you've made in-game. It's more realistic than most porn game plots to see wide negative repercussion of your in-game actions on other people, so, if anything, I was trying to compliment his (in this case non-erotic) writing!
I'd say my response was quite warranted for "expressing an opinion" in which you're essentially saying only the dom rountes aren't "pathetic". It's a pedantic opinion that assigns moral worth to kinks, so I'm not sorry for having been harsh on you originally.Apologies... no kinkshaming. Should have worded better. MC sounds pathetic. However, being called chad intant for expressing an opinion is bad style either.
Apology accepted though - if that's what you meant, I agree an MC that fully submits to Kim (and on top of that betrays several of his female friends that he was also dating at the same time...) is objectively both an asshole and pathetic, so no hard feelings.
