Yes Samson sabotaged Veronica's business but she could have taken the loss and do something else, work for someone if she can't be independent. But no she has too much pride.
Yes you can play as a nice romantic guy, there is a lot of wholesome moments.
That argument may hold weight if a member of the club didn't use his power to actively sabotage her efforts in order to fuck her.
even if veronica wins and gets money her business is still failing and same situation will happen again in few months. she knows it she is just stubborn and cant accept defeat
point still stands veronic could have not done that. declared her bussnes bankrupt and walked away she did not do it. yes samson is fuking her over but decision to participate in competition was still veronicas choice.
Coercion generally is understood to involve force, threats or at the very least, intimidation. Veronica was manipulated into the situation, but the decision to choose this option instead of others she's had available was still hers.
Just read my earlier post (nr.18,314) for a rough overview. You can play our hero as a nice guy, trying to help everyone, you can be a nice guy, who helps where his interests lie and let some things be as they are or you can play as n a..., following Kath´s footsteps as her junior sadist.
The situation is more messy than you say. Samson is crushing hard on Veronika, but since she is far more lesbian leaning than hetero, he has few chances. To get her, he cooked up his plan and sabotaged her gym. Which actually was not so difficult, since it already was in dangerous waters before Samson met Veronika.
But that is after Veronica has made her decision to participate in the contest, a decision she was not coerced into. These are two different things, and people are talking about that initial decision of hers.
veronika can walk out any time and no one will be able to stop her. my boss saying to me that if i don't show up at work im fired is not abnormal.
if i rember right samson forced veronicas master to sell her gym without giving her information that it was already failing
yes and there is no fear of violence or reprisal so by your definition its cant be considered that. telling veronicaa that if she wont get money she will lose business is NOT violence or reprisal that's just how capitalism works.
That does muddy the water, doesn't it? And, Veronica aside, using a charity to recruit a desperate Rosalind is in the same ball park. No matter how you cut it, it's a skeevy, morally bankrupt, illegal affair.
Again, "circumstances have pushed her" is not the same as a person using actual active threats, implied violence etc in order to force someone to make certain decision. In the very legal sense that you quote Samson has not coerced Veronica into anything. He created a situation where participation in the contest has became appealing option for Veronica but it was just that, an option. She's had other ways to resolve her issue, and ironically those other options didn't involve participating in a stupid and degrading sex game.
no we moved on to veronica wars phase and it may be dying down so who knows what will come next
Oh sweetie, that is coercion, but a type they made legal because it benefits the powers that be.
i don't totally disagree with you. but still veronica had choices and she made her choice. personally i would have walked away and most likly would have found way to live decent life and there is nothing samason could have done about it. so if its coercion its not very effective one.
