@preglovr12 I assume you're on the discord. Out of morbid curiosity... Has the "Mackenzie" person been online/said anything over the last few months that he's been releasing anything since he's been doing all the communication as BD, or has everyone and BD just stopped talking about "her"? Lol

I'm aware. I've never believed that Mackenzie was anyone but BD. My posts from this thread show that. I'm more curious if he's just moved on from that whole thing and its one of those topics that no one brings up, but everyone knows about. Or, does he continue to log in as Mackenzie and chat with the people in the Discord?

how is it incest. Azel isn't MC mother
Patreon consideres incest to include sex between any persons, blood related or not, who have ever, at any time, shared a familial bond of any kind. Azel was a parental figure to him which in their eyes consitutes a familial bond, and makes her off limits.

I get it that BD doesn't want to implement incest due to Patreon guidelines and for other personal reasons, but still I feel that it does leans towards a more sexual interaction than a family-friendly relationship with (at least Azel, but also the other 'family members'). For instance, MC being told to get lewd with Azel by Rachel, having a POV that closes up at her cleavage or butt, having her being scantily dressed, kissing her passionately on her mouth in public, lifting her up with MCs hands on her butt, having her walk in the room during lewd interactions with other girls, and so on... Those are not really traditional (step)mother-son interactions if you ask me.

Which also means that you cannot blame people that they are confused about future romances between these characters. The idea of a more sexual relationship with these characters are planted in the players' mind, because all of the suble interactions (as stated above) nudge them that way.

This all could've been prevented if the persons who are related to the MC were way more vanilla, instead of being such teases. I mean, just make 'em less curvy, hot and skimpy dressed and change the kisses to the cheeks, instead of the mouths. I do understand this would the make related characters way less interesting and even obsolete, but hey, that's the downside of creating an adult game with family members living under the same roof as your harem...

The problem is, even if you reject the intrusive thoughts and actions (as stated above), Azel is still quite needy and touchy with the MC, which If I'm being honest, I find the whole needy, huggy and kissy thing quite annoying and that's my dilemma when playing WVM, some people like it, others perhaps, like myself, doesn't, but what can we do, so it's whatever.

And to be fair, after the MC found his biological family (quite literally), I thought Azel perhaps would've found her groove back into a normal life, taking a job again and keeping herself busy, but then we had the whole (I don't know my place anymore) from her and we get the whole "let's stick together like glue again, because..." and we're here. But then again, you already have your biological mother, on paper and from everyone's perspective on the game, Azel isn't your stepmother anymore, although the MC feels like she is, but now incest isn't a thing FOR AZEL, I think the story could branch out and break the incest-restriction by maybe transfering the papers back to the MC's biological mother, and let people finally date Azel if they want to, it's not like they're blood-related.

But again, I'm not into incest and I myself find Azel quite needy, so what the fuck do I know.. Let people bang her if they want, just bend the lore a bit and get rid of the whole family drama with MC and Azel, leaving them free to date if they want to, I don't know.

Exactly.

The whole relationship with Azel (and perhaps also Willow) basically send out the wrong signals. You can tell that BD is really emotionally/passionately attached to this game by the way he writes the dialogues, but the controversies around this subject also seep through. You can nearly read between the lines in the game that BD is struggling with this. Which makes the game less immersive for everyone.

The people who do have an incest fetish find it really dull that there is no sexual interaction with these characters, and the people who don't like incest find the interactions to intimate... Which ultimately creates a lose-lose situation.

I have no idea how long this game is supposed to be and where the end is. However let's say that BD decides to end the game after the first semester/year of college. The m/c considered that he could go for pro at that point to resume his dream. That kind of switch to the story could allow BD to switch from patron to another money support system that doesn't care so much about incest in his game. It's a possibility. Probably unlikely, but the dude could find a way to include that part of the storyline then.

Course I still think that if we finish that first year we'll all probably be retired and unable to get a hard on without viagra.

As far as I've read BD has no intentions to implement incest, due to lack of personal interest (although his writing suggests otherwise). I just get the feeling that he is stuck and that also limits his creativity.

But I do agree that he perhaps needs a breather by finalizing this story, so he can regain his confidence without all the mixed signals. By streching this story - without changing this major controvercy - it will ultimately result in a loss in followers/patrons.

I definitely agree with this, even though she's his mom on paper, she can just give up the papers, and then have a relationship and it won't be incest by even Patreon's guidelines. I mean, he can still call her mom and I'm sure they'll even do roleplay, but it won't be incest.

There's absolutely no reason why Azel can't become an LI, and she's been built up more than anyone out of his family, so I definitely think it needs to happen, of course it should be optional though.

I think that the reason so many love Cedar is that she didn't immediately fall in love with the MC. Unlike the rest of the girls, she is resistant, almost completely against him. The uniqueness of that stance, versus all the others who jump right on him, and the fact that she relinquishes her secrets very slowly allows the reader to "grow" into her. In nearly every game, and in real life, I tend to go for that kind of woman... The difficult kind. I think that is the attraction to that character.

Exactly.

I am not at all interested in incest. Adding that would destroy what is built in the Cedar relationship. Changing that would damage what many of the game's followers enjoy about Cedar, the difficult relationship. Yes, there is always going to be the incest crowd that would prefer to have her. Or the harem crowd that thinks all characters in the game should be available. But not everyone wants all of that.

It is ok to love your sister without loving your sister.
