Noooo? Really? However could we have missed that?
I'm baffled that this has even reached a point of debate to this degree, but I gotta be frank:
All I'm reading is that some people are incapable of seeing how something beneficial for themselves specifically could be detrimental to others involved. Praying for y'all.
And yes, this is a game - it is simply fiction - but this has still (somehow) revealed a little too much about our peers all the same. Leave it to a porn game to shed light on the human condition in such a raw manner
More on topic, though: this debate did prompt me to wonder if there might be some wisdom is having the quirks have stages to them, rather than simply being "on/off" - or is that already something implemented, and I've just not clocked that it was happening yet?
If not, I think it would address some of the concerns that have been voiced. Granted, I also understand that this would be more work in the long run as well, and I can't say if it would be worth the effort in the long-run. Would still be interesting, though!

Man, this is all really interesting. If I had a psych degree, I would probably be geeking out on this.
I think you're right. If all's right in the world. if the person someone like Rogue is with is like a rock/is centering/has a foundation-ing personality, being extremely passive and submissive wouldn't have problems. I also think that most other people don't trust themselves enough to say with good confidence that they are that type of person. I mean, to be someone like that, that person would have to be very emotionally mature. Like, wise beyond his age, kind of maturity. And that's a bit of a rarity. Not impossible, mind you, but extremely rare.
I get your point. I think what Evil is referring to is this school of thought that, sometimes, people who are overly passive/submissive/apologetic the people they are with, over a long period of time, can develop tendencies to, for the lack of a better word, take for granted and, thus, unconsciously exploit the person.

I understand that Jean has troubled past. But still she had time to heal and grow up.
She is portrayed as a smart woman who unfortunately is a control freak. And at the same time Jean is a telepath.
The question is not whether she should be pitied (but yeah, i feel sorry for her) or whether she is dangerous to others and whether she will break people’s minds.
And the answer to this question is yes
I think most people think more of the effort put into a relationship. It doesn't have to be a perfect 50/50 but you should try to put work into the relationship.
And we got people invested enough to debate.
As we intended.Leave it to a porn game to shed light on the human condition in such a raw manner
The quirks will be explored further in future chapters.
Since Null doesn't have any legs during sex scenes whenever I look at him it reminds me of a karate dummy.
oh yeah he does I forgot. Still gonna see him as a karate dummy though.
This sounds like a you problem, not a general problem.
I would be very happy with someone dedicated to me and would treat them well.

You joke, but everything non-pornographic I've written for the game, I've taken entirely seriously and written like it's not, ultimately, for a porn game. Yeah, I'm not writing The Brothers Karamazov, Atlas Shrugged or Billy and the Cloneasaurus, but some of the stuff we're dealing with, I also have extensive background experience in. And from what people have said (the multiple 'I was so invested, I forgot to jerk off' comments we've received, the people theorizing where the plot is going and the occasional requests for a SFW version), the added realism and sincerity seems to be working.I'm baffled that this has even reached a point of debate to this degree, but I gotta be frank:

The short version is that he can stop someone activating their powers and nullify the effects over a short distance, but not a longer one. The obvious example is that he can stop Jean using her powers close up, but if she launches a radiator at him from the other side of the room, there's fuck all he can do about it except get out of the way. Same with Xavier, he can send his thoughts to people and those people can pick them up. Actively reading Null's mind may be more difficult or not as clear, but it's still possible. And, towards the end of the first chapter, he's gaining more control over his abilities, so having it turned off while psychic communication is happening can be a thing.

It is actually pretty good, if you had put RPG combat mechanics instead of porn, id be playing it too, this is the closest there is to playing a game where you are your OC the x-man.
