Now either I'm misreading this comment. Or I'm reading it correctly and y'all just willfully being retarded. Folks be writing a whole ass thesis on the issue with that pairing. BEFORE they even dip a toe into the lesbo part of the equation.
Yet we just keep jumping to the les part only. As if nothing else was mentioned or talked about. The hell is going on?
It's pretty obvious what's going on. Strawmanning is Savin and friends' numero uno argument. Oh you don't like this character that's a modern day lesbian inserted into this fantasy world? You obviously are just a misogynist who's seething about "Fucking dykes!11!" in their games. You don't like futadom #69420? You obviously just want to bitch and moan and have the game only cater to straight men.
It's hilarious how fucking willfully ignorant you have to be to seriously believe this shit. Don't feed me "ItS OpTioNAL iTs AvoIDablE!11" line either, because firstly, it still takes time and effort on the writers to write and code this stuff in. Secondly, this compromises a large part of content that's otherwise walled off from the player. Thirdly, no one has an issue with characters being for one sexuality or kink, it's when it's something like suddenly shoving a menage a trois onto us where one partner is explicitly into one type of gender. The writers have neither the ability or will to explore this sort of scenario in a manner it deserves.
And you know, I recall hearing a lot of players who play female champs and they always say how much a disappointment Kiyoko is, because without doing her preg content, she's just there.
Hmm... Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Sounds a lot like a certain
someone who's been the subject of this whole discussion...
I never once jumped at them with "Well, she's not for you, chud! Stop imposing yourself onto her preferences!" I do think it's a flaw that Kiyoko isn't catered better to female champs. And you know... She's a fictional character. I've seen people write fanfics where she cheats on her husband, has sex with a wolf, etc. And while I think those are certainly out of character for her, I'm not going to blow up on the author's DMs about how dare they write this character this way.
It's the same tired shit from the very beginning of this game's development. People ascribing actual feelings to fictional characters like they're real people. "The game's not about you, you don't own these characters" "It's unfair for the champ to have multiple lovers and expect the NPCs to be exclusive" "This character you loved is now retconned with new traits, you better like it or else you're a dehumanizing piece of shit" But
we're the schizos for complaining about it.
Oh, and for the record I do like Evelyn. My favorite type of women are strong "girlboss" women. From Morgan Le Fay from Fate, Kiryuin Satsuki from Kill La Kill, Makima from Chainsaw Man, all the way to Heather Chandler from Heathers. It's always been my favorite archetype. Before anyone gets the idea I'm just a woman hating asshole who wants to control these poor NPCs because I'm an incel or some shit.
Hmmmmm
