Thanks to you both for your answers! Pardon me if I don't reply to your messages point by point; I'm already verbose as is, and I don't want to repeat treaded ground too much. I'll just ask to consider the following.
I enjoy reading your replies.All in all, sex work (and sex, by extension) isn't something to be romanticized; but it's equally wrong to "demonize" it. As we said, it's always better to avoid extremes and apply some finesse to one's judgment. The game, even with a "novelized" view of reality, provide ample thinking material about the aforementioned matters, and this is something I think we can all agree upon being so good about it, even with our different views on things.
Keep playing but word to the wise i wouldn't trust good old "uncle Chuck" if i were Edwin too.Okay, this game is way too good, i stopped playing this game years ago because i didnt have the heart to play it further, but now i did and man kathleen is the biggest bitch i ever saw, not only is she fucking psychotic, she also just randomly hints about his moms porn in front of everyone and then fucking calls her like this guy is 15 or something? This bitch makes me so fucking angry, the reason she gave the MC for why she called is stupid af btw, dont know how mc believed her, im sure this fucking dusty old bitch wants to blackmail the mc, FUCKING SLAP THE BITCH AND THEN GO TO UNCLE CHUCK WTF MC.
Edit: PLS tell me i can slap this bitch into oblivion later

Many of the points you raised about sex workers can be reduced to a single fundamental point: coercion, explicit or implicit. The fact that many sex workers (actors or prostitutes) have horror stories derive, in my opinion, mostly from the fact that they cannot choose clientele or exercise "service agreement", or even require a modicum of empathy during the act. But this isn't, or at the very least it shouldn't be, a given for their profession: it's a matter of circumstance.
As for the implicit value of sex, well, I don't think there is any in the act itself. People give it value. And that's where things get fuzzy: if you're sharing a "special moment" with someone you love, you and your partner are giving value to it. But one partner may want a quickie, or may experience some "sexual fatigue", or have unfulfilled fantasies ("you have betrayed me in your mind!" scenarios). Do these things devalue sex? And from the flip side, what about a couple's previous relationships, do the sex they had (the amount of which will inevitably grow in time) devalue the sex they are having now? In my opinion, the value of sex is to be given and agreed by both partners; that's why being a sex professional does not implicitly and necessarily debase the act itself. Still, I recognize this is mostly a grey area, and I can see people disagree; or as we said, not wanting a relationship at all, it's perfectly fine and understandable.

Well well well, such an interesting topic.
whenever i want to have a good conversation i come to this game.
my take? it is complicated.
the great mayority of interview i have seen of pornstar are pretty hard. sexual abuse, hard childhood, pedophilia, mental problem, etc. i am not saying that everybody is like that, for example there are porn actresses that has become respectable artist but it is real weird.
my point is that a job where you trivialize such intimate moments can damage a person, but it is true that there are other jobs that do the same without being so disliked.
since we talk about soldiers and policemen, they are jobs that affect relationship heavily, we know that stadistically a Big number of soldier relationship finished with cheating, no all but the mayority of it, witch is really terrible, and that without saying how many people has lost their life for being close or a relative of a police person, my point with this is that Jobs can affect a relationship whether is right or wrong.
so you has to take the fact that a person is a porn star o prostitute seriously if you want to be in a relationship with one, it is not a thing that shouldnt care.
but lets remember that this people are that... PEOPLE, as such if we know them and understand them a relationship shouldnt be imposible.
it is what happens in this game, we get to know closely all the Lis, we see what bothers them, what they like and why they act like they do.
in my case i havent see someone in those characters that i would really dislike, what show us that the devs are really good.
in case of Mina, she has seen so many cheatings in her mother relationships, and with Ian, i dont find so weird she wants to understand why people like it so much, some people need weird experience to make their mind, how many people cheat on their cheating parnerts just to feel that they are worth something, i dont hate Mina in that mindset, yeah is cold but to take this choice, she has to think about it hard, and we knows that Mina is the kind of person that think a lot about life, even then if you choice to wait until she has broken up with Ian, it looks like she doesnt Cheat on him at all, she is the kind of person that needs to have a conection to someone to have sex, that is why she ask you if you like her before asking about become phisical, to me if i could understand a person it could be posible to have a relationship, after all comunication is the most important in one, now i would still choice The others Li if i have the choice.
With Roselind is a bit tricky, she is desperate, since it isnt just her life that it is at risk, in such situation anything that would take your mind out of your problem would "help"... yeah she is not just a victim but it still affect her, it is true that she is a closet pervert and she is finding some side of herself that enjoy the situation in the club, but i think Rose isnt thinking clearly right now, so i wouldnt judge her as an horrible manipulative slut until she has been out of her problem, i do think she would be a great wife if given the choice but after this experience who knows.
Fun fact:To bring it back to the game, this is why many pages back I commented to td1900 how I really wish the game had more non-mc sexual encounters; specifically carnations/candidates and customers. Without those, these discussions tend to remain academic, and it's easy to separate the game characters from their professions. When those do occur, it really challenges the player to think about how they really feel towards these questions.
Damn, seems like he has no one in his corner then, huh? Still i wanna punch the bitchKeep playing but word to the wise i wouldn't trust good old "uncle Chuck" if i were Edwin too.
Uncle Chuck is a much better choice if you want to play like a psychopath than Kathleen in my opinion.Keep playing but word to the wise i wouldn't trust good old "uncle Chuck" if i were Edwin too.
Depends, Kath and Chuck are simply different types of psychopath. Not that PC has a lack of them, considering what we are learning about many characters in it.Uncle Chuck is a much better choice if you want to play like a psychopath than Kathleen in my opinion.
No, since this is a game around a luxus bordello, it´s employees, psychopathic owners and medical experimantation on humans, we only have wholesome picknicks, plucking daisies, ice cream dates... you know, everything you´ll see in family serials.Is there ntr/sharing/swinging?
I say it because Chuck has some kind of attachment to Edwin so he is less likely to harm him assuming Edwin does not try to ruin him. The same cannot be said about Kat - she will not think twice about screwing you over. Kat might be a lot more fun though.Depends, Kath and Chuck are simply different types of psychopath.

As far as I know, the plan is to complete the next two weeks of the summer exhibition and include several epilogues thereafter. I would love for PC to continue beyond that point as well, but all stories must come to an end eventually. Don't worry too much about it. We still have an enormous amount of content ahead of us, and I'm sure that TD and Gil will do a hell of a job with what remains.People, do you think the developers will finish the game after the end of the storyline regarding the month of tests for carnations? Of course I would like to continue..

Joking aside, this a welltold crime story, withmemorable characters and decisions. We have and/or will have NTR, sharing, swinging and many kinks more in Pale Carnations. Hope this helps you.
OR, hear me out... we dig up some dirt on them and blackmail them to keep making PC, sequels, and spinoffs forever.As far as I know, the plan is to complete the next two weeks of the summer exhibition and include several epilogues thereafter.
