People can't help what turns them on, and I'm sure a smarter person than me can argue there's some sort of nature vs nurture involved in societal norms that cause certain fetishes to be more prevelant, but ultimately it's something that's fine to explore.
A lot of people in the BDSM community in particular enjoy the degradation fetish, and I'm sure the target audience for this game is involved in a lot of such activities.
Hell, I personally went for the Shack Guy ending, even though I really personally enjoyed the other characters and would have liked to see the ending with Riven's companions. Why? Because that's the ending that turned me on the most.
I do understand that people would feel afraid or concerned, but I've always viewed these people to be fairly in control of themselves. They are "normal" people in their daily lives. However, when it comes to forums like these or discussing games targeted towards their lust, they let their inner demons come out. It's a "safe-space" for them to explore the depths of their fetish without seeming strange to others. Even if it involves taking things to a very deep and sometimes uncomfortable limit.
Anywhoo, I'm ranting. Just felt like putting in an input, since it's a topic that interests me.
Hi there, glad the game inspired you to comment at length. ^-^ Having more discussions about these subjects is a good thing!
Thanks, I had a lot of fun with your game! Keep doing what you do. ^^
and agreed, more discussion on this definitely opens up new perspectives. Understanding the psyche of potential interested parties can also help in the process of dev cycle iteration as well I imagine ;p
(Sad that shack guy doesn't get a scene with other characters!)
