For the ones worrying, I got Tamara physiologically and psychologically checked and she is fine. No diseases and no trauma. Nothing happened against her will and she can't wait for the next adventure. I got confirmation from her doctor... but don't tell anyone as it breaches doctor patient confidentiality...
Cute,
AdorableRomaine. Glad to hear Tamara got a seal of approval from doctors as believable as she is. ;-)
I'm not trying to tell you that Tamara isn't into her adventures, just saying that if I, as a player, can stop playing your game at any time when Tamara is engaged in sex that she has not consented to, then I quit due to rape content that I hadn't signed up for. If I stopped playing right after Tamara finds her phone filled with images of her having sex with dozens of men in an alley that she doesn't remember due to inebriation, I have no knowledge that she is doing just fine and actually enjoyed herself.
As an exercise, imagine a male friend of yours describes an experience that they had at a bar in which a hot girl and her hot friend got so drunk that they ripped their dresses and were dancing nude. Then your bud says that he and five other dudes carried the drunk bitches outside and gangbanged them in the alley after the bar closed, and he brags about how he filmed it on the drunk blonde's phone because they were blacking out so bad he didn't think they would remember otherwise, and the six guys left them naked in the gutter afterwards.
If your reaction to hearing that would be to give this friend a high five and say "Cool bro! Sure hope you nutted inside that whore!", I honestly hope you seek help.
If you would ask your hypothetical friend if he thought she was into the sex before offering him a high-five, isn't that kind of moot? His actions still constitute rape. If the girl does press charges, it was clearly rape. He fucked a black out drunk girl. She was not in a frame of mind to consent, therefore: it was non-consensual sex. If she doesn't press charges, it doesn't mean that your friends choices weren't to rape a drunk girl, just that he got lucky by raping a girl who is actually ok with being raped.
I know I'm using that scene as an example a lot, but I don't actually care about the content in your game, I just want it properly represented in the tags. What I have issues with are any arguments that this game doesn't contain triggers for rape victims because Tamara gives a thumbs up after being raped. The tags aren't there for Tamara, they are there for actual people.
Let me carry my argument to an EXTREME example that does not pertain to the content of Tamara's Exposure, but can hopefully explain why I feel accurate tags are important for fictional Visual Novels or any other content on F95.
Imagine there's a dev who puts out a visual novel where a man commits a brutal snuff style homicide where he kidnaps, tortures, rapes, and murders a woman over an extended time period. Just tons of images and text describing extreme horror porn content and an agonizing slow death caused by a truly sick sadist. Then the dev puts in an epilogue that reveals the events all happened in a VR setting by a man living out a fantasy with his consenting girlfriend who wasn't actually mutilated and killed, but was a willing partner going along with this simulation.
Most people would quit playing well before such a reveal, (ironically, any that stuck around would probably be disappointed) but it seems that the extreme version of the arguments that I have seen here would be that fictional developer claiming that the game should have a "no sexual content" tag, as the characters were in separate Virtual Reality Pods and no actual sex occurred and a "dating sim" tag as the man and woman were dating and in a simulation. He argues that his game should not have tags like "rape" or "torture" or "sexual violence" or "necrophilia" as all of those scenes were only part of the main character's VR program, and they didn't actually occur.
I say it's a dumb argument for that dev to make, even if he is technically accurate, as it does nothing to prepare potential players for what they are going to experience and I would argue vehemently if such a game were to get posted as a "no sexual content" "dating sim".
I'm not trying to bash your work, Adorable Romaine. I'm not saying that this title should be changed or censored. I am only saying that an appropriate label can legitimately help a real-world rape victim who avoids such content skip playing Tamara's Exposure and not re-live their trauma because they assumed a game described as being about some light exhibitionism wouldn't have a girl getting black out drunk and fucked by a crowd of men she does not know.
I hope that helps you understand my point. Regardless, keep making games, and I wish you success. You have my respect, even if Tamara isn't my type of content.
