I don't see Lena pursuing a career as an e-girl as corruption at all. And one of my biggest disappointments with the game is that the dev does seem to see it the way you do.
I'll just start by saying "carreer in e-girl" is the most cringe description I've ever read regarding posting nudes on the Internet. There could be a thousand better ways to say that.
Who is she cheating? It's entirely possible for Lena to have a sexual relationship with Ian, Robert or even Seymour and be perfectly honest with everyone. I'll admit that sleeping with Jeremy or Mike would be cheating but it's not required that she do so. On the other hand for many of the posters on here it's possible for Ian to sleep with Lena, Holly, Alison, Emma, and Cherry, but I don't hear a lot of complaints or decrying of cheating about that.
That unfortunately would destroy the whole premise of the game (Our Red String / Two Sides of the Coin). Ian and Lena are 2 parts of the puzzle, destined to bump into each other on every path and affecting each other's lives with their decisions. They might not feel like they want to pursue the invisible force that pulls them together, but they can't really escape each other completely. Probably until the very end of the game if one of them goes down such a dark path that they completely break their tie with their decisions. Even then, their legacy (the friends they made along the way) would continue having an impact on their lives like a Butterfly Effect.
Like it or not there are lot's of women who are in fact 'career e-girls' and doing very well out of it. Sorry they don't need your approval.
??? No dude, I don't have a problem with any of that.
It's not about the release model at all. Filmmakers can either go the hard route and aim to become big filmmakers by studying and then applying for jobs. Or they can take initiative in their own hands and make short/indie films for YouTube by themselves. Both examples are completely valid, and in both cases they can be equally great.
I know that's the premise, just saying it's a bad premise ahahahah
I think that's a very parochial viewpoint, from you and Eva Kiss. E-girls produce a wide range of content from cosplay, SFW erotica, and NSFW erotica. If you ever looked it to it on sites like OnlyFans more than half the content is Cosplay or SFW. As for quality, there are numerous independent model on Insta that produce content that is equal to anything produced by professional models and photographers. Many of those models earn their income through Patreon, OnlyFans, Gumroad, and dozens of other sites. They even have their own endorsement contracts.
From what I've seen, cheating impacted Ian and Lena differently. It seems like it hurt his self-esteem (problems to keep erection up during his first time), like he wasn't good enough or chad enough to keep Gillian because he doesn't go into rage thinking about her, he becomes melancholic, as if he wishes they were still together. That's why I believe it makes sense that Ian would fall for Cindy and seeing that Wade isn't the right boyfriend for her, he might take his chance (to both restore his masculinity and save Wade and Cindy from having a miserable life together). The actual cheating route where he goes behind Wade's back but doesn't tell Cindy to break up with him is out of character a bit, too.
You're not arguing with me dude. I said the same thing with my Filmmakers example. It doesn't matter where you choose to upload your content. What matters is whether you make it tasteful (whether it's SFW or NSFW is irrelevant), or you make it into soft-core or hardcore porn, where all pretence is dropped. Can you describe how the video of Ivy twerking with the close-up of her nude asshole and pussy can be found artistic? I personally can't. Because it's porn, and not of the artistic kind. But while Ivy has no morals stopping her from uploading such content, Lena does have those morals (initially), which can be softened and dropped with Ivy's influence on her, to the point where Lena can be okay filming masturbation of herself and selling it as a custom. In no way would Chapter 1 Lena be comfortable doing that. In fact, she wouldn't even be comfortable posing the way Seymour wants her to during his shoots (exposed, with the main focus on her private parts).
That's the thing though. In both games the only road to financial success is by going hardcore. Lena has a different attitude to art, and could put her artistic sense into anything she creates, but the game won't let her. Also, I have a hard time looking down on Ivy's twerking, I look at stuff like that on PornHub, and I would bet that most of the posters on this forum do too.
considering people like Ian and relate to him, i don't think most people would want a girl that fucked one of your best friends, her cheating ex, sold herself on the internet, had sex with her moron coworker, had an afair with a dude that has a girlfriend and got corrupted by a old rich dude. and before you say it, no in my main route o do not fuck anyone besides lena as Ian.
Yes but those same people will choose to make Ian sleep with his friends girlfriend, fuck his married boss, as well as fuck every other woman that crosses his path. There's a word for those people, I think it starts with an H
I think that in ORS the hardcore stuff can be just the shortcut for the financial success. But i'm confident that both Ian and Lena can have success in the end keeping their ideals of art. Seymour can block every job for Lena if she doesn'r accept be his sex toy, she can't make money like Ivy if she doesn't make the same content Ivy make in stalkfap and in the future with Billy, but she still have in the end of chapter 9 a new show with Emma and maybe, i hope, this next show can be the turning point for her music career.
yes, i hope both Lena as Ian get routes where they don't need Seymour. maybe we with Ian if we choose to train jiu-jitsu he can win the tournament and with Lena as you said she can have a music career.
God I sure hope so. The reduction of Lena to a sex object being her only path to success would leave a sour taste in my mouth.
