This is something I will always agree on wholeheartedly. If giving different routes for a character, they should be distinct.
No I'm not offended, I have a pretty thick skin generally. However, I'm not wrong at all. You said it yourself...in your own post....your own words...right above...you
THOUGHT.
So I'll say it again....everyone knows what
thought and
assumed did? Correct, they fucked off to Rio in a row boat and lived happily ever after. No one knew anything about the character. People
assumed...and
thought. Well, suck it up princesses, they were wrong. That's entirely on them. Until actually presented with information, better not to assume what someones personality is like (btw, surprisingly this works really well in real life too). You don't get to coveniently pick what someones back story and/or personality are.
Could it have come out slightly differently? Perhaps yes, I won't argue with that but as I think someone else mentioned, she was never against what happened per-se, just how it happened and her having no agency and it is a well known fact that situations like that can and do lead to somone pursuing it futher themselves with their own agency and control. Like
SlapE said also, once having secured the new job, then you can let it out if you feel it won't be an issue with someone you trust (providing you're actually interested in them. If we never had any intimacy with her, would we ever know? Think about that next time you look at your collegues). As I said over and over, why the hell would anyone ever offer this kind of information before the point she did. Sorry, but literally no one would under the circumstances/times that we are presented with in the story.
The problem here is people...not her character, not her backstory and not the way
she is written. Usually the same people who can't handle the fact their favourite waifu has fucked someone else before them and isn't quite as pure as the driven snow as they would like. Let's be honest, you see it everyday on this site in pretty much every thread lol. Like seriously, people need to get a grip, though we all know how fragile many people on this site are. Maybe they should just stick to things like MNF instead, probably much more their cup of the proverbial tea.
Again, I will concede, when it comes to her
different paths, they should indeed be very different from each other, but even then, that does not negate her personality type or backstory. You don't have to like that personality and backstory, but it's there nontheless and that is part of my reasoning for not caring. I couldn't care less about her story/history...because it's a godamn game at the end of the day, however again, yes, much like Lois, her distinct different paths, should be
distinct from each other. I've never argued against that point, not once, only that her story should always have been unknown to us because there is no way in hell anyone would ever offer up that information prior. if some folk can't handle she likes what she likes, that's on them ultimately, not anyone else and certainly not on Togs. We have enough perfect women in this game in my own opinion, I actually think Kiki is a breath of fresh air in her depiction. There are also numerous, literally numerous forced decision, in...every....single...VN...on this site....it's nothing unusual. We also I might add, have no agency over Lois' back story either...no choice there, only a choice going forward. So really, what's the difference? (other than the point I made earlier which is actually the real issue).
