LKiaB thoughts, consent 

So I think I've figured out what's bothering me about LKiaB. It makes a lot of superficial nods towards consent, and a lot of people have praised the game for it. However, the structure of the game is *fundamentally about manipulation*, and the little elements of verbal check-in that it offers don't make up for it. I feel like the paper-over attempt feels worse than directly acknowledging that a lot of the characters actions Aren't Okay.

There's a pretty serious element of ludonarrative dissonance here, given that, well, it's a game where one of the primary selling points is fucking.

This is less about wanting perfect queer representation, and more about feeling like the game isn't actually communicating clearly or intentionally.

Ugh. That OP earlier today got a lot of boosts, and now I'm actually kind of regretting posting it.
