part of me wants to ask what the fuck you're talking bout, that is so out of left field I literally just said that it's okay that the game has an opposite sex focus (like, why is it a jab at people to say "hey, the audience is mostly straight so the game probs will focus on straight stuff that's perfectly fine"?), plus if we're talking sexual attraction then I have no clue why you even brought up gender that's like all you, let alone the fact that that wasnt even the focus of what I said, just that I was wondering why we didnt use powers we could cearly use
but another part of me understands that, considering your inmediatly explosive, confusing, and aggressive response that you probably are just a troll or someone that really ought to parse through things more and make some self reflection; so eitherway, I'm just gonna ignore that comment for now and if you continue acting like that just gonna ignore you entirely
on the topic of your prior and shorter comment, awaken and shatter literally do not work at a distance, the character has had to get closer to people to use it, and it cant be done in quick succession unless with a power boost; standing a few meters away with a gun pointed at em is literally protection enough under normal circumstances you dont need a nuke to take em down, so being able to affect males (which he can do that is not up to question) doesnt really make him "inmediatly nuke him" level; the fact that he literally cannot use his powers on a group of 5 teenage girls that are a few desks away from him because he'd inmediatly get caught thanks to all but the one or 2 he uses his powers on running away should be enough evidence to prove that he has the restrictions that he's literally said he has when thinking of options for what he can do in various situations (plus, ya know, bright flashes of light); his aura only works at a distance because it is a much weaker effect, also awaken cannot bring forth new desires but it can definetly twist existing ones (as we see him do literally all the time, because yes 90% of the people he used his powers on didnt want to be his fucking pets beforehand, awaken just amplifies and twists desires, he literally has to twist them with his words and people can fight back on it)
