The world becoming a worse and worse place, does not change the essence of what it is to be human. A slut is still a slut. I hate to break this to you, but men and women are fundamentally different. Personally, IRL I believe in monogamy for men and women. But, there is a considerable difference between a man who sleeps around and a woman who does the same. I really don't want this to turn into a super rant, so I will leave it at this: women control the sexual marketplace, they decide who fails and who succeeds in the pursuit of sex. Sex is also a significantly more intimate experience for a woman than it is for a man, a woman literally allows a man to enter into her body, it's an inherently vulnerable action. This means that a woman either shows intimate confidence and trust in a man she allows to enter her, or she shows reckless disregard for such things. This is one of many reasons men all over the world have always preferred their wives to be virgins (even if they couldn't articulate it).In theory, yes that is the definition of the word "slut". But at the same time, I think the world has changed so much that the literal definition of the word is no longer suitable to describe such person because casual sex is much more accepted nowadays. You mentioned "sexual relations outside of longterm relationship" to define a slut, is that all it takes to label the MC if he had sex with any of the girls without being in a longterm relationship first?
That said, I'm not saying all LIs must be virgins (or that all non-virgins are sluts), although it is my preference. There are a number of great LIs who aren't virgins, or aren't confirmed to be, like Lydia from One Dat at a Time, Sharon from Rebirth, and Nancy from Eternum. I don't even dislike Lexi as a character, she is my least favorite in this game, but that doesn't mean I hate her. If a dev wants to make a slut LI, that's fine. But we should at least acknowledge that she is in fact a slut, rather than playing this denial game.
