I definitely liked the Seymour update, as most likely did most Seymour-Lena fans.The hate seems to come mainly from several subsets of fans, who are unable to see the possibilities of not only the Seymour routes, but the Holly, Alison and several Ian toutes also.
What's wrong with seymour update? it's great. Don't kinkshame people lol, it's a corruption fantasy to bait innocent woman with money and hedonism. Especially if it's Emma.
The update was a huge letdown and didn't meet many (I assume) if not most players expectations.
Seymour was introduced as a mysterious, enigmatic,
sinister man, whose "love" towards Lena is extremely dubious. He presents the corruption part of the game perfectly, in contrast to some other love interests that are vanilla, happy and safe. This was spelt out by Eva multiple times. Seymour is the main antagonist, he is not good. Every conversation was a dance with the unknown of why he would approach Lena and how he would do it.
The other main antagonist is Axel. Eva also went out of their way to delete an early sympathetic side of him and made him even more ruthless and despicable to emphasize the corruption. If Axel embodies the physical corruption, an animalistic predator who physically drags Lena around like a doll, then Seymour is the mental corruptor, someone who manipulates and poisons Lenas mind so much that she falls further and further in depravity on her own, until she makes a move on him because he lets her think its her idea.
And instead we get Seymour awkwardly making a move on her and simply retreating like the simp he is. Unless that is a ploy to make him seem feeble (which I doubt), he and Eva had utterly lost droped the ball with the latest release. The inclusion of Arthur may seem harmless and if its just a cameo it may be, but it was an immediate warning label to me that he is there to make Seymour look milder, meek and "good", to fill in the actual corruption regards prositution that was deemed first in that pointless poll.
So yeah, I want evil Seymour,
most of all I want him to be in control. Not the toothless cuck I worry about giving a heart attack whenever I let Lena allow him to fuck him.
