Man, i remember some long time ago when Sensei's name was revealed to be Akira and i started to adress that character by that name.
And some people where like "I'll still call him Sensei, that fuck doesn't deserve to have a name.".
And i was like "Yeah, i just don't self insert, so i adress characters by their name".
Funny times. A whiff of nostalgia.
To me, it's now about self inserting or whether he deserves a name or not. It's about context, what fits the most and maintaining the illusion of a major spoiler, which I would argue that is. Makes sense in my head. I'm a logical thinker

The Akira situation did however. I'm not a positive person and this is me being somewhat reasonable. I'm holding myself back a little because I like it here.

If you like it here then i suggest you work on dealing with your issues than just holding yourself back, you've rubbed a hell of a lot of people the wrong way with your spat and it's going to take effort to repair your public image from this point. We can be forgiving but acting antagonistically or even just being perceived as such is a sure way to cement yourself as a thread nuisance in the eyes of just about everyone who participates in this thread on a regular basis.

Aight, this might be my first and last post to you, not out of malice but you're more like a visitor to me, and you replied to my post.
First: How is that characters name a "major spoiler"? He could be named "Biggus Diggus" and it would change (afaik, and i might be wrong, but doubt it) absolutely nothing. It's not like Akira is the keyword to "solve the game", if it actually can be solved one day.
Second/Last: As a pragmatist myself, don't throw something around like "I'm a logical thinker", if you defy your own words by acting as mentioned in *First:. It's illogical, it's emotional.

Finally:
I'll still try to see you as a normal person that's a bit picky.
And not as some "I'll go to a foreign place and stir up shit" kind of person.

Without Dc or Zuko posting a discord shot with a time i'm assuming this release is going to be the usual 10am CST? So about 3 hours to go...

Going by Sel’s word, it should drop at about noon Central Time:

Sel has been releasing them a bit earlier than that lately, though, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was out by 10.

I used to prefer using the term Sensei, but then I saw Selebus using the name 'Akira' instead of 'Sensei' when posting here. Since he did so while in a position of presumable safety and comfort, I imagine that in his mind he uses 'Akira' too, and that would make it the more 'canonical' name, or maybe there is some other purpose there, but either way due to that I slant towards Akira as well. It may be that the name 'sensei' is associated with evading responsibility (like: "It wasn't me, it was [generic protagonist title]") and so he used Akira here to reject that disassociation and lay blame flatly at his feet.
I'd go further, taking his title as his only name was essentially denying his own personhood so he didn't have to feel anything. Primarily guilt for his actions, but also grief, and basically any emotion other than lust. I think its useful when discussing his character to acknowledge him as a person, even when he does awful, awful things. Especially when he does awful, awful things.
First: How is that characters name a "major spoiler"? He could be named "Biggus Diggus" and it would change (afaik, and i might be wrong, but doubt it) absolutely nothing. It's not like Akira is the keyword to "solve the game", if it actually can be solved one day.
Devil's advocate: at the beginning of the game Sensei and Maya operate under the pretense that Sensei is some nameless ghost thing that got isekai'd into Akira's body. The name in particular might mean nothing to a new player, but that it refers to the MC could tip them off early that that idea is incorrect.

But again, that was years ago. There really isn't any discussion we could have about Sensei/Akira that wouldn't spoil that. And really, the entire plot of the game is a spoiler. The whole time loop thing, as well as all the supernatural god stuff, are sort of early game reveals. So basically all discussion of the game would have to be spoiler tagged, which to me would be the same as none of it being spoiler tagged.

So yeah, the most we should be doing is not openly posting "gosh I can't believe Rin was an alien this whole time!" 10 minutes after an update comes out. And maybe using spoiler tags when direct replying to a new reader.

If it turns out Rin is an alien today I am so sorry

All this talk of Sensei or Akira just reminded me that in the last Wakana event we know that he still doesnt carry any ID around... why not? he is aware of his name now, there is no point for that plot anymore.
I mean, its curious that it was brought up during the event. Maybe that 28th date is his birthday?

I'm not talking about this disagreement any further. Life goes on, just like it does for LiL's broken MC.
