Look. I get having a discussion about the finer points of Character Development. All in good fun.
I think the disconnect comes when people denigrate the game for being exactly what it is. Character Driven Porn. Or more accurately, Porn that is Character Driven. In this frame, the characters acting like sluts are perfectly in character and working as intended. People who like the game exactly how it is cannot relate to the people attempting to make into a Emily Bronte novel.
Additionally people tend to critique hyperbolically in this thread in order to try to push their point, this also is hard to relate to by people who try to understand a point being made but cant get past the emoting.
Many of us really like the game as it is. We like our fictional porn sluts to be, well, slutty. We aren't looking for Lena to be Anna Karenina. So the failure to relate to the heated debate regarding inner motives of the dramatis persona comes from a very different perspective of the medium.
But it is also accurate to say that failure to relate or understand a debate doesn't mean we should chime in or try to shit on the conversation people are enjoying..
