Or for people who have conventional sex often and are already in a relationship. For this reason I often find any conventional sex or a romantic tone in these games dull and as you said boring. I want something depicted in these games that is not part of my daily life. e.g. Blackmail, coercion, threesomes, a bit of BDSM and so on.I am surprised people still discuss this. This game is clearly tagged with 'rape' and it's for people who wank too much or think conventional sex is boring.
edit: I know I should have adressed 'Garibaldi' directly but it's all the same to me
Well said. You hit the nail on the head with pointing out how blackmail and coercion are forms of rape. That most devs chuck in the trope of the women becoming turned on by it or being happy sluts as a form of apology for said blackmail and coercion.You mean like what is pretty much always found written by default in almost every other female MC game story in existence? The overwhelming majority of which really never even had a chance to see a fraction of the instrest and success this game has gone on to see?
One of the biggest contributing factors to how this game has thrived more then most in this very niche market, to a point that at the same time it even routinely gets a free pass for having some of the absolute worst and most cringy writing you'll find in a renpy VN here, is that it actually embraces it's subject content without feeling a need to essentially apologize for itself.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Content like blackmail is rape'y by nature, and therefor should feel and be written in as rape'y. If it doesn't feel rape'y, or if the dev feels they need to throw in some "but she secretly loves it" disclaimer to hopefully not offend anybody....then they shouldn't be bothering with blackmail themed content in the first place. Just pick something else that at least gives you the chance to end up doing it somewhat right.
100% the strength of the game is that Decent Monkey hasn't tried too apologise for it's content and embraced the fetishes presented. Well at least until the latest home event with Fred and the neighbour.
