... I uh... I don't actually agree. The whole 'everything is political' is a statement of wokeness and marxism and is entirely fabricated to suit only a specific set of philosophical beliefs. (there are other philosphies out there you can choose to believe in, Dudism for example)

I actually abhor any real life politics in my games, especially my erotic games. Even if your game was more subtle, so long as it still reflected real life situations in such a way that it was obvious what they were, it would be an issue.

The most politics I want, is the purple haired lady trying to figure out why her mom and sister tried to kill her and what ork is the best one to breed with in order to further her investigation (kingdoms of deception)

I only gave Brendt Ultrabrick or whatever Fuchur's game was a pass, because it was like, the most unhinged south park level comedy I had ever seen. They had a knack for telling a story first, full of comical satire that you were not supposed to take seriously; the sexy parts were like... fourth down on the list. They are so far, the only ones to get a pass (also like, their politics are from a 15 year old event, no longer relevent)

most things are not political except you force to be political, and forcing politics onto something is just silly. We need escapism, not more drama

Do i think that erotic games have meaning, themes, and stories. lessons and morals to learn from or to be explored both in light and dark settings, hell yeah. but that doesn't mean that something like Hold Me Tight All Night Onee chan, has ANY politics at all.

or to sum up
Just because you can Force anything to be political, does not mean everything Is poltical. Most of the time, boobs are just boobs without any need for a deeper explanation.

I can't disagree with what you said and I am not going to try. I respect your opinons and broadly agree with you. Not compleatly, but in the words of Anthony Bordane "Surrounding myself with people who always agree with me is the most boring prospect I have ever heard."

I know we talked about this before, but I don't know what wokenss or marxism are. I had a friend who was really into philosophy and he would tell me about it, and my eyes would glaze over. My knowledge of philosopy begins and ends with Plato. I acknowledge and appreciate you know a lot more about this than I do.

I am glad you acknowledge there are exceptions. People who isnist things have to be a specific way are usally either surgeons or jackasses (as far as I can tell you are not either).

When I said adult games are in of themselves political I was refering to the fact Porn Hub is banned in 22 states. I don't think adult games should be political, but they are. It is like rock music in the eighties (I think. I was not alive back then). Dee Snider had to testify infront of congress because they decided his music was political.

I understand what you are saying and I hope you understand what I am saying even if you don't agree with me.

That is a far more sensible statement. It's not that the games themselves are political, 'except in few ocasions' its that politics have made adult content a talking point, but that's always been the case. I mean, at least it's not the 60s, where you had to buy your pulp fiction from shady underground black market stalls. I mean, Robert Crumb's art was banned in New York back in the day, as in you could not sell it no matter what. Not that it actually stopped people I guess.

From my experience, whenever there is big censorship, the pushback gives us far more freedoms than we ever had. It's a tide that ebbs and flows, but the shores of censorship are eroded more and more with each new tide.

Also I try to be nice, but I definitely have my biases (lesbian ponies) but I do try to be more tolerant. The past year has shown me I need to be nicer to people lol. Watched too many of my friends get lost to extremist beliefs and... I don't want to be like that, not even about my lesbian ponies.

Anyway, always good talking to you, glad you and your bro are doing well.

I had reservations about publishing this game for what I think are obvious reasons, but I am glad I did. It has been nice talking to you again.

I hope you are right about censorship. I look forward to the day lesbian ponies are celebrated by everyone.

Making an effort to be kind is a noble and worth while goal. I respect your ability to reflect and take actions to ensure you are the kind of person you want to be.

If you ever want to talk you know how to contact me. :)
