@The_Last_Strike The parasocial bit is another can of worms entirely. But yeah, I have seen this. Seems like a bunch of mentally ill people with unhealthy attachments.
Unless it's Arthur, Eleanor, Aoi, Quincy, Lettie, Amir, Flare, Velimir, Kaya, or Minerva - you know damn well you WILL get jumped on for saying anything negative about them.
@Alivair13 I just think them existing as a concept at all sets a bad precedent for the game, but I understand some people like particular protoframes more than others.
@TelecomPedestal Yeah, the whole parasocial thing is another can of worms. I try to argue from a perspective that only discusses the game itself, but I understand the sentiment 100%
@ScarletNoct I didn't realize being capable of critical thought and articulating the rationale behind a position made you a chud. If so, then I am one.
@wd3ncha@finlaena@CephalonVashka Sorry for the late response. What I mean by "soft rot" is a design or creative decision that does not immediately kill a project, but paves the way for future dubious decisions to be made on the grounds of its bad precedent. This leads to a decay of the IP over time.
