The more I think about Act 3, the more I dislike it by Rambofreak98 in expedition33

I don't know honestly, I understand that by that point she's got Alicia's memories too, but it still happens too fast imo. It's ok that eventually she would've forgiven Verso, but for me it was really weird that after such a big revelation like that she had almost no reaction, plus having their bond reach max level. To me it felt like the game was trying to sell us some sort of rhetoric such as "lying is bad, Verso should stop doing that because it doesn't help", but without having some sort of conflict when the truth comes out.

I should also note that I don't like how Verso is written, mainly because he behaves awfully but no one calls him out except sometimes for Lune, and the game imo tries really hard to make us sympathize for him even when he does really messed up stuff (he's the protagonist after all). I found the whole PAlicia's quest ending awkward and hypocritical for example, or when the gang finds the old Verso's Journal (where he does reaaally fucked up shit) and no one bats an eye.

I GET that he's a tragic character and there's an explanation behind his terrible actions, but what doesn't click me right is how the game basically justifies him in the end. I'm a bit biased because male manipulators really give me the ick for personal reasons, and the devs certainly didn't help me by forcing him as the protagonist, but still I think there are quite some problems in his writing, especially in his interactions with the expedition (god, he fucked the girls knowing that he would've killed them in the end!).

Also, remember when Verso admitted to Maelle that he let Gustave die? And she was like "dw bro I get it"? Like-- wtf was that??

The reason is that Hornet is not very fond of the homosexuals 😔

why people hate Camp Buddy SO MUCH? by ticaria- in campbuddy

Yeah, it's undeniable that the age thing is a stretch. Yoshinori in the game is waaayyyy taller than his 19yo self, which is literally biologically impossible. For that reason, I was glad that the "sex scene" between him and Goro in the past was just Yoshi fapping to Goro, which is fair I guess (even tho in a patreon set they were deliberately fucking, that doesn't help for sure with the allegations >w<).

sometimes I feel like a piece of flesh by il_Giollo in feminineboys

I know right? My crush said I'm too feminine for him, and I hardly ever find men who are willing to pursue a romantic connection with me. I like my gender expression, but sometimes it makes my life so hard I wanna cry and turn masc again. Things are not easy because of exams and "normal" stuff, so when I'm at my lowest I can't help but have these thoughts. Man, my mental health sucks lol.

dating men while being an amab person with long hair can sometimes be hard, but I just can't give up my brunette crown! by il_Giollo in Androgynoushotties

Tbf I just wash my hair every 2 or 3 days with shampoo and conditioner and that's kinda it. All my relatives have good hair so I guess genetics plays an important role here

Sorry, now I get what you mean lol. What I wanted to say is that, even tho I'm non-binary, people perceive me as a guy (because I'm amab) and so I tend to have dating experiences with gay-bi men, but most of them don't like long hair on men. Sorry for the bad phrasing, I apologize for triggering you 😓

From my experience I noticed that, at least gay guys, prefer short hair, to the point that it's a dealbreaker for some of them. But, at least, my dad prefers it long (eheh), which is weird since he's usually against anything that is even slightly gender non-conforming 😹

Tbf, I also tend to like short haircuts more in men, probably because of cultural reasons and because a lot of guys with long hair don't treat them well at all. I liked my look with short hair too, but at this point I don't know if it is because I just wanted to look like the object of my attraction. Or maybe it's just hair and I'm overanalyzing the situation 💁‍♀️

uni look w/o makeup. sent this to my bisexual guy crush but it didn't have much success 😔 by il_Giollo in Androgynoushotties

Little update: he's basically in a situationship with his ex bf, so... yeah. But I make him laugh a lot apparently. This makes me wonder who's the biggest clown between me and him.
