VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.14.1.4 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[Hungover00]

but we was able before choice ian/lena open relationship? i remember ian saying they experience things,in earlies chapters.

The first 'open relationship' is brought up in the park (chapter 7 or 8 iirc) and that is not treated how most would define an open relationship as, but more an agreement to experiment together (basically, it's saying they are open to the idea of threesomes and such).

The second (true) open relationship discussion is at the beach house, and that actually reflects the normal interpretation of what that means, ie. they are dating, but are allowed to have sex outside their relationship. But that relationship is the primary. They never really discussed the worry of catching feelings, so poor communication hits again.

Who is to say Alison wasn't drugged and that she normally wouldn't participate in such sex? That Jeremy isn't "corrupting her" behind the scenes?

Her proactive behaviour when she seeks out Jeremy/Ian on her own. Unlike Holly, who is pushed to every men she should fuck.
We have enough information to ascertain that Alison seeks them out on her own and isn't under drug influence, else it would be highlighted. I question Hollys mental capacities in how smoothly and easily she is corrupted by Ivy and Lena and differentiate it with other women who are much more confident and in control. Bleaching your hair and nipple piercings are a significantly milder form of corruption and manipulation (if at all) than doing a glory hole.

Claiming that Holly got raped and that Ivy is a rapist "but she gets a pass" as if this is some sort of established fact instead of nothing but a wild fan theory, that's presumptuous, as best. It goes quite beyond calling it out as a potential rape.

Depends on your definition of rape, so Ivy is absolutely a rapists and Holly a victim if they fit that definition.

what is the holly trinity?

 

[Xupuzulla]

I thought I hated some ponytail bitch in another game but I was wrong. When I see you shit on Ivy every week, I realize what's real hate feels like.

I mean im defending Holly of all peoplethat never happened before.
Im still waiting for the Ivy essays btw you guys loved writing about Robert and his "evil" acts,where is the outrage for Ivy actions and her evil stench being felt all over game.
WHERE!?

 

[Saerwen]

There is a difference in accountability between two friends fucking and a person in a glory hole under drugs.


Rape isn't merely defined by nonconsent, it can also happen if a person is forcefully pushed to sexual acts. Its ambigious, how far Holly wants to go, is aware of the consequences or in a aware state at all. Just silently obeying to everything Lena and Ivy command her, doesn't make their orders right by default. For whats worth, it is a moraly grey area and people may disagree on who is responsible to which extent.

Calling out that it is potentially rape and a crime that can mess up Holly is fair, just as enjoying this uglier storyline. Most people here a desensitized or rather play the game with a desensitized mindset, since porn often accomodates towards taboos and crimes, especially in the corruption genre.

Who is to say Alison wasn't drugged and that she normally wouldn't participate in such sex? That Jeremy isn't "corrupting her" behind the scenes? There's more than one time where Ian notes that Alison acts surprisingly uninhibited and in a manner he'd never think her to act. And she also keeps escalating her wild behavior.

(this is of course just playing devil's advocate, but the point is, we have zero information in both cases. But in one we choose to jump to conclusions, and in other it doesn't even occur to make such conclusions to some people. One could very well say that's just more of those supposed double standards)


Right, precisely: it's ambiguous, if you want to be nice about it. Or a pure conjecture in terms of what we know, if one wants to be blunt.

It's called dub-con in fanfiction which is borderline on non-con. It's popular and writers use it when they want to write dark content but are uncomfortable with the non-con as taboo theme.

what is the holly trinity?

The Holly Trinity is when you manage to get Ian, Lena, and Holly into a throuple relationship (not just a threesome). There's a few different paths, but essentially it's Ian&Lena, later add Holly, or Ian&Holly, later add Lena.

It's a pun on Holy Trinity, but Holly is kinda an honourary protagonist in ORS.

edit: Also, it may be worth to remember this game doesn't have rape tag. I really doubt EK is developing a "Ivy is raping Holly" storyline here.

Besides the lack of any evidence to say otherwise? Ian also hadn't seen Alison in years and hadn't been in the bedroom with her on that particular path either, so that's hardly concrete. And it's not zero info, Ivy does have drugs and pushes them onto Lena twice, and Lena herself says Holly looked doped up in that particular picture. It's not double standards, it's just making connections. It may be conjecture at this point, but not wholly unfounded conjecture either.

Good Girl Gone Bad didn't have a rape tag either, and that definitely had less than consensual scenes in it.

I guess time will tell all. When it finally comes out that Ivy has been drugging Holly and manipulating Lena because of her deal with Axel, you can be the first to scream "I told ya so!" and rub it all in our faces...no Diddy

Dub-con = dubious consent, I'm gathering?

And cool to find out the proper term. It's basically rule 34, I know there's a kink for that, even if I've never looked into it before.

after holly trinity u can things with holly without considere it cheating?

 

[Hungover00]

Yes, and so far it's pure threesomes.

 

[BlandChili]

We don't really know yet, I think scenes that would have been solo Ian/Lena and Ian/Holly scenes all just become threesome scenes. It might actually be interesting to see how much Ian gets to fuck either girl by themselves or how much they'll have sex without him for trinity.

Really, people think Robert is evil? I just thought he was generally shitty and not good enough, which the game seems to agree with.

As for Ivy, I think the problem is we get hints of her being a snake in the grass, but we haven't gotten the actual proof yet. She's a master of deflection and plausible deniability.

I guess time will tell all. When it finally comes out that Ivy has been drugging Holly and manipulating Lena because of her deal with Axel, you can be the first to scream "I told ya so!" and rub it all in our faces...no Diddy

Those do seem to be the two big offenses that are hinted at. Her not showing up at Axel's was a favour to Axel, not failing to do one for Lena. She's probably been fucking Axel the whole time, too, but just when convenient. She treats Holly as her personal sex slave and slut apprentice, and doesn't really think ethics or morality should apply to herself. But has she been love-bombing Holly and dominating her that way, or are her methods more malevolent? It's kind of the core of Ivy's character, trying to figure out if she is a sexually liberated hedonist with a different set of values, or a sociopath that loves manipulating everyone around her for her own amusement and benefit. Both arguments can be made, and there is no conclusive evidence for either side, just a lot for both.

We don't really know yet, I think scenes that would have been solo Ian/Lena and Ian/Holly scenes all just become threesome scenes. It might actually be interesting to see how much Ian gets to fuck either girl by themselves or how much they'll have sex without him for trinity.

Lena and Holly do/can start before Ian gets there for the first post-start threesome. I imagine that there will be solo scenes of every variety, well, unless that becomes more work for EK than they want. But there's at least some Lena/Holly scenes that wouldn't have been seen on that playthrough that could be recycled. And some for Ian/Holly or Ian/Lena depending on how you got there, but that does leave a bit of a gap. Though that could be explained by spending a bit more time on the new partner, and the gap would be the scenes that would already be written for committed paths.

Bro people in this thread acted like Stan was the worst person ever for fapping to the Lena pics
But somehow Ivy gets a pass for destroying a beloved character,a fan favourite,the patreons and F95 darling and queen.
REALLY MAKES ONE THINK AND WONDER!

Well, she bought that toy she'd seen in that movie, so...yeah.

Some people play the cuck path, and think Axel is a good partner. There's no accounting for taste.

And it's kind of on the players if they let Holly be defiled/sluttified. There's plenty of chances to not let that happen (though once it starts, it doesn't look likely to stop).

 

[Eleanorduval]

if ivy-axel are team,for me it is betrayal against lena.I love the sluttly side of ivy but no more

What slutty side? We have yet to see her having sex with anyone besides Lena, Holly and sucking off Jeremy once. Mike is off-screen and only a claim too!

We all know Ivy is secretly chaste and waiting for the right guy or gal.
