I think you're presenting a false dichotomy here; there's plenty of room between "I am the MC" and "I don't care about the MC". Implying someone is a sociopath just because they don't get emotionally attached to fictional characters is a bit much. Let's be real, PV's story is a porn comedy. Both porn and comedy tend to feature situations that are highly implausible, and we turn part of our brains off (i.e. "suspension of disbelief") in order to enjoy them.I see this a lot and either they don't understand what empathy is, have fallen for the "self insertion bad" meme or are genuine sociopaths. Media with characters is made almost entirely around the idea that the watcher can relate to other humans, if a typical viewer doesn't care about the protagonist then either the writer sucks or you aren't suppose too, Breaking Bad being a famous example where people start to disconnect from the protagonist as intended.
As for NTR, when people consume a lot of porn, they often need more extreme fetishes to get off as they become increasingly desensitized.
Another false dichotomy. Again "empathy ≠ self-insertion".Why are playing a game with a male protagonist? Why not just stick to female protagonist games? as a matter of fact why are you playing visual novels at all? Since apparently the story doesn't mean anything to you. It's people like you as to why there are so many braindead stories for these. The devs know they don't have to put the effort in.
Power Vacuum has the effort put into it with the story and the characters but you just want the female characters to be empty headed cumdumps story be damned.
The volumes you're asking about are the What If stories. Each one is seperate, and most are focused on the MC getting cucked by someone else. The last one (Vol 8) takes it beyond this game's MC, and is pretty funny too. You play as Ophelia in "highly unusual" circumstances...ok, quick question. is each volume a separate game, and do I need to download the uncensor patch for each one?
I did a search, but could not find the main game, can you give me a link to it?The volumes you're asking about are the What If stories.

As for needing the uncensor patch, that's up to you.
The lewdpatcher link contains a patch for both it and Chapter 10 of the main game.
I just checked the first post of the first page and it's still there.I did a search, but could not find the main game, can you give me a link to it?
ty, was thinking that was another "what if", lolI just checked the first post of the first page and it's still there.
Yes you don't get it. You're not that guy. No matter how you wish you could be YOU ARE NOT THE MC. You assume because you somehow control some of the MC's action you are the character and that's why you conclude if people like watching scene where the MC is not the only one getting pussy it's a cuckold fetish.OK, this is not meant as an attack on anyone but I'm not a fan of NTR.
Can someone explain the appeal?
Like I kind of get being the guy that is doing the cucking it's a power thing but I don't get the being cucked part.
I think it's about the corruption aspect, similar as to why someone would want to see a girl fucking a monster or something like that.the disgust isnt even emotional on my end
i mean bruh i saw a comment on the patreon saying "finally hunter/tiff"
who wants to see hunter naked? i mean you may as well go to a senior citizen nudist beach to get your rocks off instead
ron jeremy peak masculinity lookin ass
people go into a gym locker room at the ymca, looking at the old men drying their balls on the hand dryer and be like "damn i want to grow up to be just like him"
PV simply is pushing the Ugly Bastard trope to comical extreme. That's the whole point of PV. You seriously didn't get that WWG is making fun of the Harem anti-NTR fandom from this game?the disgust isnt even emotional on my end

I'm pretty sure the game is making fun of, like... a lot of shit lol.PV simply is pushing the Ugly Bastard trope to comical extreme. That's the whole point of PV. You seriously didn't get that WWG is making fun of the Harem anti-NTR fandom from this game?
I was under the impression that what we refer to in shorthand as "NTR" actually includes variations, e.g. netori/netorare/netorase, and in some instances the "stolen" lover has agency.First of, NTR is a very specific type of cheating fetish. It's requires a series of specific factors to count as such, and needs to be taken into account as its own beast.
There's a lot of subtext to that scene, but it's still a good example to compare with PV because the development of the characters is what gives the scene such emotional weight in the first place. Without all of the buildup and context, it's just sex. PV characters feel better realized than in your average VN, and that makes the NTR scenes more impactful.There is a reason if Griffith only looks at Guts as he's raping Casca.
I would guess that "ugly bastard" hentai like Kisaku The Letch was a source of inspiration for Hunter in the first place.Japanese Animated Porn, on the other hand, can straight up make up some of the most hideous motherfuckers ever devised, a concept that is seemingly replicated here too with Hunter and to a lesser extent Kevin, whose physical hideousness is but a metaphor for the fundamental core theme of this game, which is "self improvement" (Sterling actively decides to become a better person, Hunter decides to coast by and live off his cock and "shortcuts" to get women).
My mantra is more like: Let's fuck up the plans of the creep old manSo here's a little Mantra that can help you get over those nasty feeling you feel upon seeing fictional characters:
I am not the MC
The MC is not me
Nothing is real
It doesn't matter
This is a fictional story about fictional characters
I do not need to feel jealousy
The MC is not me
I will stop those feeling of jealousy
And instead learn to appreciate interesting porn scene.
repeat that to yourself and you may get out of this hole.
I think you are forgetting one important thing here. These porn games don't have the level of writing, where I am supposed to self-insert as the male protagonist, they all feel the same in general. If I am having a rough time and feel down, maybe I will watch a movie that relates to my situation to feel better or just watch something that gets me motivated in general but definitely not porn games.I see this a lot and either they don't understand what empathy is, have fallen for the "self insertion bad" meme or are genuine sociopaths. Media with characters is made almost entirely around the idea that the watcher can relate to other humans
This month, but an exact deadline has not been given.When will the next update be available?
And here I thought we had a mostly civil exchange of ideas going for once.Goddamn, don't y'all ever get tired of writing multi paragraph comments on a forum about porn games? From amateur psych evals on people you never met and will never meet to explaining fetishes to the people who don't like them to complaining about something completely optional. The fact that y'all can have the exact same mundane meaningless conversations about an optional fetish all the time is truly amazing. Everytime I see a notification for this thread I think "I hope this is something other than ntr" and then comes the immediate disappointment.
Oh Please, the premise of your argument is akin to basically saying First Shooter Video games creates mass murderers.I must have stuck a nerve, you don't need to be a psychologist to notice basic patterns of porn addiction.
