@ClaireMax I like her design/voice, the env visuals and "what could be" coming all the way up until the Cube & Sword showed up, I'm worried the rest of it will just be goofy. I want her to be badass, show the same (if not more) levels of Kratos brutality. Need to see more gameplay.

Turns out this is a weird question.
I was trying to design a survey to figure out if men were learning incorrect things in porn. My goal was okay - ask guys if they watch porn. Then ask them about, expectation of what women want done to them in bed. See if the guys who watch porn report different expectations. Simple, right?
Okay. So how do I ask about this? "You have sex with a woman. If you tried [slapping her face], do you think she'd like it?"
Well, a guy reading that would prob go "it depends on the woman." I could say "The last time you had sex with a woman, do you think she would have liked if you tried [slapping her face]?"
Well, probably for most men that's gonna be a girlfriend or wife, and by the time you're regularly banging someone, you're gonna know her preferences, and you'd just be answering directly for what you know she likes.
Okay, so this has to be like, about a girl you just met? First time having sex, and assume yall are bad at communication and so don't talk about your preferences in advance. So I could say "You just meet a woman, if you slap her face without asking her do you think she'd like it?"
Most guys would never try this with a girl they just met without asking. So okay - this scenario needs to have *some* level of trust involved. Maybe it's like, the second or third date after you've built up friendly rapport and established you like each other?
But... most guys still would ask! When I escorted, guys would sort of indicate a request to do anything particularly porny. Guys rarely just wildly try something brand new without some type of in-the-moment negotiation about 'can i?' because they don't wanna offend me or ruin the mood.
So I ended up settling on this scenario:
"Imagine you've been on a few dates with a girl and have good rapport. You decide to try a thing, *without* discussing it beforehand. Predict how likely it is that she would respond positively to it."
Like, when I had to really drill down into it, picking a scenario clear enough to measure where porn is causing guys to do things women don't want in bed, required an extremely specific scenario. Because either you're so new that trying some crazy porn scenario is *retarded* to pull out on a woman without checking in first, or you're sufficiently established that any level of basic communication would make it clear that this isn't a welcome activity.
So when people are arguing that porn teaches men to do porn things in bed, idk what concrete thing they're envisioning. I think probably if this is true, it's much more subtle.
(Btw, I found that men who watched porn, were slightly more accurate at predicting the responses of women's preferences in bed, but especially women who watched porn.)

Kickstarter has officially reversed its controversial new mature content guidelines after huge backlash from creators
In a blog post published today titled “An Apology: Rethinking Our Mature Content Guidelines,” the platform acknowledged that the detailed rules released last week went too far.
The changes were by pressure from their payment processor, Stripe, which had begun suspending approved campaigns over mature content.
As a result, Kickstarter is removing the new guidelines entirely and returning to its previous simpler policy: projects may not include pornography or illegal content.
Payment processors can still review and potentially block campaigns based on their own standards.
81 year old YouTuber GrammaCrackers (who is actively raising money for her grandson’s cancer treatment) was swatted last night
She spoke about the experience in her recent YouTube video
"The prettiest police woman I've ever seen..she was so sweet..they walked me out, I didn't know what was going on but it was kind of fun..my grandkid and kid, they were hugging me..I was really eating it up..then I got to the ride in the police car..never been in a police car before..then went to bed"
@Aella_Girl His legs definitely put some people off. It was difficult rating without seeing the face, for me. Also alot of the opposite sex(women) looked really similar, very rarely was anyone outstanding (low or high)
