Bit of an aside to most of the discussion going on right now, but I personally don't really like how murky corruption is in the game. It being at times about morally reprehensible behavior and at other times it being about anything unnatural (and sexy) seems contradicting and with some potentially annoying implications. A twat like Marianne (or whatever the high priestess in Rastedel was called) being a source of purity while a sweetheart like Greyhide is a source of corruption seems to indicate corruption would be more about the nature of the races than about the individuals. But on the other hand corruption turns Rowan and Alexia evil and uncaring while purity keeps them moral and gentle, even if it is eventually revealed there was something special about them, most demons being dickheads is normally associated with them being "corrupt" so it seems to indicate corruption also plays into the morality of the individual.
This creates a pretty annoying implication about the potential of the world, even if we take a dualist perspective about purity and corruption and say that neither force is inherently evil, what would an utopic world look like in SoC lore? Say that by the end of the game we can get rid of all the assholes from both sides so that only nice people remain, would the races have to live segregated from each other, because "corrupt" races interacting with "pure" races could lead into newly corrupted individuals turning evil? What would be the implications of trying to "purify" an individual from a corrupted race, would it transform their personality like corruption does to pure individuals? For the better or for the worse?
Also about the dick size discussion, I am inclined to agree such dynamics are played up in the art of the game, if not so much in the game's writing, so maybe there was some disconnect. I'm fine with chalking it up to just "artistic liberty", but I can also see how someone could read more into it if they were inclined to. I will say that a pure Rowan looking into magical ways of enlarging his dick would maybe be just a wee bit out of character, considering everything and all the risks involved, I think his time would probably be better spent into more productive things. Maybe corrupt Rowan could be petty enough to get a bit obssesed about that, but somehow I don't think dick size would be the deciding factor in how Rowan manages to take down the twins.
