help me that was a year ago I was being such a cunt 💀

cool :o

this was a really good game! I love low-poly aesthetics and especially for horror games! 

If you read every single word, then reply to everything I said. You're not defending this game by giving bare-bone responses to my valid arguments. 

I have answered and gave more than enough explanation for you, please don't act like I didn't just because you don't feel like explaining to me what I could have gotten wrong or anything I missed. 

You are giving me the shortest replies each containing a single statement and nothing to back it up. Maybe I will agree with you if you actually try to make me. 

And I don't really have a problem with people with entirely sexual relationships as I said. I just thought the way the creator handled it was distasteful and I gave my reasons as to why I thought that. 

Also, I didn't even look at the creator's profile because obviously I wouldn't want to check out their other games if I didn't like this one. I just found this game by looking up "dating sim" or something along those lines in the search bar and this happened to catch my eye.

I am begging you to give me something to work with. I really do want to understand your point of view, but I can't if all you're giving me is dry, few sentence long replies.

I'm not even gonna try. 

a) you didn't read a single word of what I said

b) you did read it, are ignoring most of what I said, and your last brain-cell is failing

Periwinkle repeatedly makes unwarranted sexual comments to the other dude, which he literally just met. In that first chapter, I think there was only about a sentence or two that wasnt some sort of innuendo or outwardly inappropriate. Periwinkle even thinks to himself, virtually, that Pastel dresses like a slut despite his modest personality. He was literally just wearing a skirt and some high socks, that's normal ass clothes. This is way more than flirting and this is definitely Periwinkle seeing Pastel as nothing more than a guy he's meeting up with who he wants to end up in his bed(not saying hookups are bad or anything, but it just seems that Pastel is here to have a nice date and like that sort of thing wasn't agreed upon). Only later on does Periwinkle ever ask to make sure what he says is okay with Pastel.

Also, this is most definitely fetishization(coming from, as you may have read, someone who is mlm himself). This relationship seems purely sexual and they even have sex at the end of the first fucking chapter.  There also seems to be that dynamic that fujoshis love where one of the boys is unrealistically submissive and the other is "dominant" (otherwise meaning they just do as they please to the other without any regard to their feelings) going on between them.  

Also, they aren't even partners yet in the chapter that me and my friend are talking about, they're literally meeting up for the first time from what I know. 

My "constructive criticism" is don't make a love story game where one of the characters is sexually harassing or at the very least objectifying the person who is supposed to be their love interest.  And they shouldn't have to wait to have a positive relationship, it shouldnt take three chapters for Periwinkle to stop treating Potassium or whatever as a sex object.  this is gross fucking fetishization. That's coming from a guy who doesn't throw that word around like every bitch on TikTok does. 

Obviously, this is just a game and real people aren't being hurt here, but it just worries me that the creator of this game and everyone here seems to think that this is a cute and normal relationship. 

im the friend hi im hot
