Porn Game Tropes: The good, the bad, and the fugly

[Jaike]

I think what they are talking about is that in most games on this site have the MC fucking everything in sight and has the gall to say "you can't sleep with anyone else even other girls without my permission but I'm gonna fuck around without you knowing". Or its the ones that have the MC in a relationship but is still fucking around and the other half doesn't know with the game never even caring for the MC to worry about cheating cause in the end there will be a happy ending.

I get it these games are power/self-insert fantasies but the MCs of these games are most of the time horrible people when you think about it. But as been seen in these type of places as soon as a LI even a non-perma one sniffs at another guy/girl even as a flashback you get a certain crowd calling foul and crying bloody murder.

It's even more general than that too, cause it could apply to male MC games too where the MC's partner gets a one-sided licence to sleep around, while the MC either stays loyal or cheats behind the LI's back. It's a common complaint in swinging type games that they eventually begin tilting to 1 of the types of one-sides monogamy for drama.

Ironically female protagonists typically have no restrictions like one-sided monogamy unless it leads into a prologue separation arc, but in most games any male partners are quantity over quality all the way.

Yeah, in those types of stories, the MC is a villain, but the story/writer doesn't really acknowledge it. Not only MCs that cheat on their GF/wife, but I feel the same way about MCs stealing their friend/brother/dad's wife/woman, and there are no realistic consequences to that decision on either side.

Every male who's not the MC is a vile, uncontrollable raging beast of a rapist scumbag pig who cannot keep it in his pants for nothing in this universe and will rape any girl that strikes their fancy at the first given opportunity. Like, the moment a girl turns around a corner and no one but a guy or a few guys are around, "YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD BE RAVAGED"

It's even a miracle society in H-games do not collapse somehow with their astronomically high rape rates

Corrupt town/border guards is such an overused cliche it's not even funny. And it's not even played in any thought out way, like the actual consequences of any of it. Like people turning vigilante on scumbags or higher ups doing something about it once they get a word about what happens. Even a determined enough woman raped by the guards could achieve her revenge by poisoning them or stabbing one in their sleep with a small knife.

You're absolutely right the guards are so clueless usually there is no reason to let them get away with the stuff they do, really. Same with the perverted coworkers you see in games so often, a woman could easily be concealed carrying a small gun and once she gets the guy off, could easily just shoot him.
