Mark sending the picture to Ivy without Holly's permission doesn't exempt Ivy from her responsability for forwarding it to Lena (and god knows who else) without permission. I think that people are entirely within their rights to expect other people to not share private and explicit pictures of them without their consent, not really something where you can argue "Holly should have known better" while simultaneously excusing Ivy's behavior and saying she isn't "corrupting" Holly.
I'm mostly arguing that with Ivy and Holly becoming friends, they're probably considerably less uptight about "mah privacy" in the context of sending sexy selfies to another friend they've been sexual with. And that it's perfectly plausible for Ivy to be upfront with Holly about sharing these pictures with Lena, instead of doing it behind Holly's back.

It is also worth noting that if this is invasion of Holly's privacy, then Lena shows zero concern about it and doesn't bother to check even once with Holly if maybe her precious privacy was compromised by evil Ivy.

I don't know how far into the "radical free will" direction you want to argue, but unless you want to ignore the existence of pushers, enablers and deny the existence of any kind of social influence, then I will point out once again that Ivy is really insistent in propagandizing her lifestyle and targetting insecurities to manipulate other people.
Existence of these factors doesn't mean people are incapable of saying no, or expressing displeasure or discomfort when they were coerced into doing something that caused them either of these feelings. If not to the person responsible, then to one's other friends. Not only Holly shows no signs of such reactions, but she also willingly participates in casual sex entirely on her own and without any input from Ivy. So i think it's reasonable to accept simple possibility her continuous participation is out of her own volition.

Idk what you were cooking with Cindy (I guess the single-minded stubborness?) or with Alison (she's in a midlife crisis and easily suggestible towards anything, her "tough" personality is barely allowing her to cope).
Stubbornness *and* very little interest in trying to see things from other person's point of view, or even showing any real interest in the feelings of those other people. Both Cindy and Alison are mostly concerned about what they want and the problems in their own lives. They expect to always be listened to, but rarely listening themselves.

Emma actually has several conversations about how she won't push her lifestyle on other people, the vegan thing is an easy example, I do not recall any instances of her acting condescending or treating someone as lesser for disagreeing with her, even her beef with Seymour is much more about opposing his actions and their consequences.
Emma regularly tries to push her views of Seymour on Lena despite earlier disagreements, and she dislikes Lena disagreeing with her about it, to the point where it'll damage the relationship score. She'll similarly dislike it if Lena displays opinions on other subjects which don't match her own.

Is your argument that the literal corruption route results in a corrupted Holly?
My argument is that the whole "corruption" thing is bullshit and the idea that Ivy shows Holly how to have fun in ways Holly hasn't experienced, and that Holly has the nerve to enjoy this experience, isn't really basis for any sort of hand-wringing how bad Ivy is for doing it. Holly isn't becoming a worse or "corrupted" person because she learns that casual sex is something she likes.

Holly will embrace her inner lust and become a baddie alongside Ivy or whatever and everyone lives happily ever after.
Really, enjoying casual sex makes Holly a "baddie"? Why would you say that?

Right after the second Holly Trinity sex scene my playthrough jumps to a really short scene between Lena and Ian that feels disconected from everything. Is this a bug or its just like that?
It's a bug, the game doesn't take into account a condition which should exclude that scene on the Trinity route.

"baddie" as in a compliment. Hot, confident, seductive, etc. Her general demeanor is already changing towards that in the corruption route, I never said it was wholly a bad thing, just that I don't respect how Ivy goes about it and that it could easily have ended as a bad thing.

The romance routes (specially with some points in holly_change) also show a Holly that is more in touch with her sexuality, it feels considerably more "casual" than the more hardcore fetishization of sexual acts in the corruption route. Let's not act like corruption route is just healthly "enjoying casual sex", it is much more about pushing Holly's sexual boundaries beyond its limits to cover for her insecurities after things don't work out with Ian.

For the rest, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I would not trust the wellbeing of a person looking into picking up some new habits to someone like Ivy because she simply won't listen while also being very pushy and self-assured with some pretty reckless methods, and she is uniquely more manipulative and judgemental compared to characters that aren't straight up bad guys. Lena losing RP points with Emma by disagreeing with her about Seymour means nothing for this argument until she starts treating Lena as an inferior person over that, in the same way Seymour treats Lena as inferior if she refuses to go along his bs and in the same way Ivy constantly treats Holly as an inferior woman for having less of a body-count.

Is it true that if I want Lena to agree to a serious relationship with Ian, she cannot wake up Jeremy while he's sleeping in Louise's bed?

Yes. Closest she can do to him is blow him during the bet, they count that as just as a drunken game and fooling around (sure). But once Lena fucked him, she won't get into a serious relationship with Ian, since she slept with his friend.

I kinda knew Ivy was popular with both patreons and F95 users but this whole "im going to drug my friends and people are still going to defend me" popularity is wild to meo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O
Really, with the wild acclaim Arthur gets both here and from the patrons, you're surprised that drugging people into having sex could be less than capital offense for a character to commit? :whistle::coffee:

If Eva actually followed patreon polls and demands for making her game like these people claim to, we'd be having BBC gangbangs, Arthur and Ed going town on all female cast, Ivy with a male cast and Lena cheating on Ian with Jeremy by now, not to forget Ian would've been dead already but considering we don't have any of it till now I doubt it.
These polls are just for patreon engagement.
On the other hand, we do apparently have some Jeremy and some Stan action, which was also something that patreons wanted.

To be honest the scene came across completely different to me than it has to you and others. For me the level of infantilizing of Holly as a character required to blame her actions and choices on anyone other than her is what is wild. It removes any agency from her. She's a woman not a child. If you're a grown ass woman and the only "coercion" needed to get you to take drugs and suck of 7 gross losers is your friends will be disappointed in you by any metric you're pathetic and that would be entirely on you.

Which in my view isn't what happened anyway. Holly is making choice after choice that is leading her to be the sluttiest of sluts. Not much different than the sluttier versions of GGGBs MC where she increasingly went of the rails drugs and sex wise.

Holly is this game's Ashley, the good girl gone bad that's going off the deep end with sex and drugs we just don't directly control her this time. Slut Holly is for the streets, as it should be.

This game is so good that I want to play all the routes, so far I played Ian alpha, Ian alone, with Lena but I never got the cuckold
If you tell her that you like the idea of other men seeing her on Stalkfap and when she's giving you a footjob you ask her for details on why she is so good at it (regarding her sexual experiences with other men), then you will be on the cuckold path.

I worked at a strip club as a bouncer for 8 years. I have spent a ton of time in a strip club. I'm going to tell you right now that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Your statement is False. It is the sex positive bullshit that your gender studies professor who never set foot in a strip club will fill young minds with. It is all theory and no practice.

Working as a stripper can indeed involve significant risks and challenges that may not align with the notion of a "decent, honest job" for several reasons:

Social Stigma: Despite efforts to de-stigmatize the profession, society often attaches negative stereotypes to strippers and the adult entertainment industry as a whole. This stigma can lead to discrimination, judgment, and social isolation for individuals working in this field.

Impact on Personal Safety: Stripping often involves interacting with intoxicated or aggressive clientele in dimly lit environments, which can pose significant safety risks for performers. Instances of harassment, assault, and violence are not uncommon in this line of work, further highlighting the dangers associated with the profession.

Impact on Relationships: Working as a stripper can strain personal relationships due to societal judgment, jealousy, and communication challenges. Partners and family members may struggle to understand or accept the profession, leading to conflict and emotional distress.

Exploitative Work Environment: In many cases, strippers may face exploitative working conditions, including low pay, lack of job security, and pressure to engage in activities that they may not be comfortable with, such as providing sexual services or enduring harassment from clients.

Physical and Emotional Risks: Stripping can expose individuals to physical dangers, including assault, harassment, and substance abuse. Moreover, the emotional toll of objectification and the pressure to maintain a certain appearance can contribute to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Difficulty Leaving the Industry: Exiting the stripping profession can be challenging due to limited transferable skills, ongoing stigma, and barriers to alternative employment opportunities. This can trap individuals in a cycle of dependency on the industry, making it difficult to pursue other career paths or educational opportunities.

Legal and Regulatory Challenges: Depending on the jurisdiction, stripping may involve navigating complex legal frameworks and regulations, including licensing requirements, zoning restrictions, and potential criminalization of certain activities. This legal ambiguity can create uncertainty and vulnerability for individuals working in the industry.

Limited Career Advancement: While some individuals may choose stripping as a temporary or supplemental source of income, the lack of opportunities for career advancement within the industry can hinder long-term financial stability and professional growth.



Heroics are measured by a different bar of conduct than foolishness, greed, or attention seeking.

If my kid is getting attacked by a bear, I'm going to have to step in and put myself between the bear and my kid. I would definitely be sympathetic to anyone in such a situation.

That is not the same thing as me going off the grid, and going to Alaska and trying to be one with the bears like . As for Timothy Treadwell getting my sympathy? Not so much!
Very well put. Most people in this forum are immature kids. They talk a big a talk, but most of them have never even left they room to buy candy in a store lol. They have 0 idea of what a life really is and 0 experience with women. I will even tell you this. I know many of these people thinks that a relationship with a woman goes exactly as they see in these vns. What is a shame.
