I never stated that it shouldn't be tagged as femdom, and you shouldn't try to put words in my mouth. This entire time we've been discussing the scene in question that I reacted to, and the character in question, anything else is you dragging irrelevant things into it by your own volition, make no mistake about this.Except, in the case of Pale Carnations, there is a scene which is unequivocally femdom AND consensual (with resident amazon Veronica, in case you're curious). So, the tagging in this case is perfectly fine, and your conundrum is unsolvable: the game deserves to be tagged with femdom, irrespective of your own point of view on the matter.
Note that every other one of my posts is talking about what people think is femdom and the misconceptions behind that, especially on certain devs sides. (And no, these devs are not among those as they've already cleared up things about that scene.)
At no point is it a "crusader complex" to point out a flawed scene that doesn't function that well as either storytelling nor a representative of a kink. None of that is trying to take a moral highground and believe that it's a just cause to argue, but moreso everything to do with avoiding misinformative views of what a subject is or should be, because so many games I've come across take this exact concept and call it femdom, which is why I had to point this flaw out.Biscardone said:And people do deserve to be called out when they are gratuitously rude to the authors because of their own unique sensibilities and their crusader complex.
If you want another recent example that I looked into which does this exact same thing in a very similar manner would be My Best Deal. Same type of misinformed representation of what femdom is, and as I stated earlier in nearly every one of my posts, when there's no indication of intent then there's all the more reason to call it out.
Rudeness is only experienced through subjective interpretation. Even the greatest of literary works can have instances where something is distinctly poor in how it's conveyed and anyone has a right to call out that it's something shitty, that in itself doesn't take away anything from the writer, nor does it try to infer that the entire product is the same, nor does it try to infer that someone should feel ashamed for liking it. It's a blunt statement on a specific situation and a specific character, that's it, so if you found it rude then it's likely that you either interpreted it as a personal attack on the devs or a personal attack on yourself, neither of which is the intent (which is a bit ironic since we did discuss intent quite a bit).Biscardone said:Anyway, I agree, I've been adding useless fuel to the fire, so I won't comment further. But I think form IS substance, and rudeness deserves a reaction irrespective of the concept it tries to convey.
But yeah, this is just a dead end and will simply go in a circle forever. You do you man, to each their own, I've got no interest in typing out more paragraphs when everything I've been meaning to say or convey has already come across in my posts.
