Just so we're clear here: There's a humongous difference between "overly complicated political correctness" and "just not being a blatantly racist, sexist, xenophobic piece of shit."

There certainly is.
No idea why you're applying that bullshit here though.
The phrase "Call a Spade a spade" is literally just a way of saying "I'm plainspoken", or "I'm not interested in playing word games", or "I'm blunt".
The phrase is older than Charles Dickins and he was born over 200 years ago, in England, where the average person (Its a working class saying, since middle class or higher wouldn't be using things like spades at work) was unlikely to have ever seen (insert whatever race you're inserting here) in their entire lifetime. People didn't travel much 200 years ago.
So whatever mental gymnastics you used there to somehow make this a bigoted or racist reference is nothing more than your ignorance of the phrase and whatever bs is going on in your head.
I was more referring to the blatantly misogynistic/homophobic part that came after the stuff you're banging on about. But hey, you go ahead and defend shitty behaviour all you want, pal. It's the internet after all, and apparently that's all good around here.

The best way to deal with folks that see racism or other forms of bigotry everywhere they look is to put them on ignore. You can't reason with them and it will just frustrate you.
As for the tags applied here that started all of this: lesbianism is a form of being "gay", and that is the specific form that is noted in the tags. This terminology has been around for decades (maybe over a century, now) and while language expands, it takes much longer than that for it to be lost. If one person wants to use a basically synonymous term, why cry about it? And with the graveyard setting in this story, I'm surprised spades don't come up more than they do. Or do we have to call them shovels so as to not offend?

Good point and done, 'cause I don't need the headache.The best way to deal with folks that see racism or other forms of bigotry everywhere they look is to put them on ignore. You can't reason with them and it will just frustrate you.

You know, I remember (vaguely, man I'm making myself feel old realising how long ago it was) when I was about 6 or 7 and was working in the back garden with my parents and being really confused about the difference between a Shovel and a Spade.
My young mind kept thinking, "But they do the same thing! Why's there two names?" Took me ages to get my head around it. It eventually clicked when I was at my grandmothers, she had a coal fire (old mining town, before the mines were all shut and everyone was screwed because they didn't replace the jobs with anything) and I saw a Coal Shovel in action. Basically one's a scoop kind of thing and the other is used to cut into dirt (hence the classic spade shape).
Feels dumb as all hell looking back on it now, but in my defence I was just a kid.

The only time I actually used "spade" was in cards, or, for the small "garden spade"; whether the scoop style "shovel" or the pointy digging tool, we tended to just call them all "shovels" if they were the larger/longer handled style digging instrument.Good point and done, 'cause I don't need the headache.

Good thing their aren't prostitutes in the VN, yet, or we may have to have a whole conversation about "hoes" as well.

I started with Arc2 today. Play it about half of hour and Im in part where MC meet Theresa. Its really good update.
But now I have some time and must ask:
Why is MC default name changed? In arc1 he was Allan, now Oliver. Usually I play with default name, but this time its really werid and I keep Allan.
Who is girl in first scene? Is she someone who we met, or is she random? She remind me Selene but not at all.
Will be there some way to open Images gallery from game? Or must everytime leave from game to main menu?
Also can you make some marks in gallery menu who have new scenes or images? Something like exclamation mark or different colour of name?
Thank you for your work, really love this game.

Looks good, and I can't wait to see how the story plays out.
I swear though I've gone through the entire update at least twice and can't find the trigger for the "Is Jettica away?" image. any hints?

Question: If I download Arc2 EP1 is that the full game or Do I need to get the Arc 1 final beta and then get Arc2

Just in case u may wonder later, arc 2 will be prepopulated with some choice scenes from arc 1, as arc 2 has replay and image galleries.
