"On another note, isn't that true to real life, dude's doing skummy shit and it's "Boys will be boys", woman does same thing and she a "slut" or a "bitch", maybe Eva's channeling her own "life experiences"."
Yeah, this is what I feel. About the acceptance for men and discrimination for women. I mean, it is seen as corruption as you said, but it is just Lena working as model, the way she wanna do it, and having sex with a lot of men. I wouldn't judge her for that (like Ian doesn't). But I understand, in this world, people would see it the way you described.
i didn't mean it in the sense of judgement, but rather that the formula/structure of Lena's path is literally the structure used for the "corruption" genre in porn games, where the female MC is put into a tight situation and must sleep with sleazy dudes to survive. Eva puts a better spin on it by having Lena discover different aspects of her sexual identity, but she is largely doing what she has to in order to keep her head above water(she isn't like Ivy who's very sexually open but very much feels like she still has massive control over her life).
Don't be so dramatic. Lena hasn't reached bad girl Jessica levels yet. Only radfems think that "boys will be boys" means "being a borderline rapist". Besides, being a horndog Ian ruins his chances with more than a few of the ladies, especially Lena and Holly.
radfems? really?
don't know why you got so offended but i was obviously refering to "boys will be boys" as a concept(why would i use saying oftem reserved for children to describe ppl like Axel or Jeremy?), that dudes are able to get away with scummy shit simply because said dudes are surrounded by a society that finds it acceptable, there's a reason that the #metoo movement happened within the last decade, because numerous workplaces pretty much let shit like this go on, ppl like Axel and Seymour merely exploit that.
Ian ruining his chances aren't the consequences i'm talking about, Lena by sleeping with many of her male LIs(an i mean this in the sense of specific individuals, not the more she sleeps with the worse things get) digs herself deeper in shit. it's suppose to be like a corruption game.
>Boys will be boys
>Ignoring that Ian gets fucked if he tries to pursue more than 1 girl at a time, fucking around always bites him in the ass
>Ignoring that Lena can fuck every character in the game with no consequences whatsoever.
>Ignoring that most of the other 'boys', i.e Lena's LIs are literally sociopaths on a power trip.
Nice analogy bud.
i find it funny so many ppl are getting offended by one simple saying. as i pointed out above i'm talking about the concept of the saying not the literal saying itself. I wasn't ignoring those things at all, in fact if you actually read the first part of my comment you would see that I aknowledge Lena's LIs being literal scum. Lena's path is designed like a corruption game so obviously her LIs are creepy ass dudes. The consequences i'm talking about aren't her "losing" a LI like Ian, but actively making her life worse, if she sleeps with Axel she slowly goes back into his thrall, if she gives in to Seymour she becomes his plaything, etc. Ppl really need to read the context of the comments before replying, all of this is laid out in the discusiion i was having with "MarkOlsen".
