@AHRIRENE Apart from the fact that the original post is clearly a joke, I really don't understand some comments, even if some people do want to "build pity" (or simply pull because they want to) what changes for YOU?! Why are you all so bitter omg let people have fun WITH A GAME
@outerspacebia MC was often associated with the moon and the LIs with the sun, so symbolically I took this as the Moon "goes down" (=sacrifices herself) to leave room for the Sun to shine and bring salvation to Romirro/Lemuria. The night has to end for the day to come, both can't coexist.
@RafayelsSirenS The fact that he looks like he keeps holding back because he needs to hear you admit that you crave him just as bad ...ooof that's so hot to me 🫠
@peqch_es I love all kinds of content, but I can't see all those sex implications in the last banners...The historical one had zero, Throne of eros had depictions of sex but it wasn't the main theme, and same for the idol banner imo...so may I ask where you see it? I'm genuinely curious!
--the Empress seems unable to actually escape from the Santarch's manipulations from the start and she played his game well along the whole story. She was controlled and isolated. Yes, in the end the choice of drinking the poison is hers, but how much was she pushed towards it?
Maybe it's just me, but Tamino is more of a "real" yandere only when he's on a frenzy, Santarch is in default mode. I think looking at their MCs is enough. The Enforcer MC was always pretty much in control and the one making her decisions apart from the bad ending, but --
@TheLaurenChen Wow, how to show internalized misogyny, fat phobia, "I know better than you because I spent 3 months in Tokyo" attitude and plain rudeness, mixed with a bunch of stereotypes on Japanese culture, all in one post. That's something.
@RafayelsSirenS I knew Raf would have been my fav since before starting to play, then he walked away and I was like 'wtf...why?! Aren't you supposed to love me?!' ..then proceeded to fall in love anyway 🤭 With Sy it was unexpected, first thought 'this jerk prepared his entrance for sure'
in the spirit of explaining something many claim to not understand and is at the root of so many issues on here: they are supposed to be a safe haven to explore fantasy, not a safe haven from 'things that would be bad irl'.
fiction = safe. real world = not safe. fiction = safe place to explore ANYTHING. no harm can come to you. anything is possible and it is safe.
sylus locking me in a room for days in the game? fun, interesting, what will happen next? in real life? trauma. rafayel spiking my wine and i wake up in his lap as he strokes my hair and then he makes me stab him to convince me to bind myself to him forever? peak otome content. irl? prison.
you can find a healthy safe irl relationship. you don't need an otome to give you a safe haven for that because that's something you can seek out in real life. can you safely explore unhealthy, dangerous, outside the realms of possibility relationships in real life? no.
otome combines irl ideals about romance with things that cannot be explored safely, or at all, in reality. that's the appeal. you are not playing a healthy relationship simulator. it's entertainment.
@allitems000 Just happened to see THAT post and I'm disgusted at how people who consider themselves adults think it's ok to bully a real person over a silly hc involving fictional characters, just because they don't like such character and love playing "holier than thou", it's insane
