I will never write a story where the player rapes someone. Neither actual forced sex.
I guess that makes you the anti-StephenRDonaldson, eh?
Glad to hear it. Too many games are made and played by misogynists who get off on fantasizing about forcing their incel small genitalia on unwilling women.
[Cue the stream of invective-laden posts from at least one of exactly that kind of guy who does not have the self-awareness to understand that the only thing his post(s) will accomplish is confirm everything this post suggests.]
Just came to this thread looking for the answer to one of the passwords (Dr.'s computer), so not too far in yet. But so far I like the story...even though I am more than old enough to remember
The Abyss and have enough science in my background to need to suspend disbelief a bit at times. TBH, though, it's just nice to be playing something with a non-cookie-cutter plot for a change and not feel the need to skip endlessly though nonsense.
Warning: heterosenxual males with fragile masculinity should not read beyond this point.
Lastly, having worked with someone who went through the gender reassignment process, (and OMG it didn't turn me gay!!!
) I appreciate the inclusion of a normal trans character who "is" trans but just as easily could
not be if we weren't told that she is. It's almost like she's a normal human person deserving of basic respect and courtesy like any one of us. Craziness!! I also appreciate the option to play the game in multiple ways - if I were a lesbian woman, for example, it would obviously be frustrating to be forced to play most games as a straight man. But...to be fair...
(I grew up a bit of a homophobe, so here's something I never thought I would find myself arguing) you seem to have unfairly left out one demographic in your gameplay options. (since you went to all the trouble of creating gameplay for straight man, straight woman, and lesbian woman). I'm playing as a straight man because it is what I am familiar with. But despite not being gay myself,
I can't help wondering why there is not the option to play the game as a gay man?? Maybe there is some explanation in the thread ??
I don't want to read it until after I finish the game so as to avoid spoilers, so if it is all explained then please ignore this post.
Im sure I'll be getting plenty of supportive
messages soon (sigh) from angry dudes who (ironically) have probably posted many times on many game threads whinging about not wanting to play games as female MC's...but who somehow don't have the IQ or empathy to care equally about the lack of gay male MC options out there. But even so I wanted to point out this odd inconsistency in an otherwise very anti-regressive game.
