For shame.
Well, allow me to put it this way:vun said:Well now you've made me want to read the book just as a "what-not-to-do" manual. Still not going to read it, but now I want to.The Gentleman said:For the record, that book (50 Shades of Gray, and yes, I know that the title is something else, but let's be honest as to what it's referring to) is terrible. Like the original work the fanfic was based on (Twilight), it teaches extremely dangerous practices in a D/s relationship to the point that a sizable part of the BDSM community has read it to teach newcomers what not to do that they may have in mind.
And, uhh, obligatory, I don't eat ice cream when I watch porn or a porn derivative (such as a proper visual novel). You need both hands free... to work the keyboard and mouse.
Classy...

Also, I think katawa shoujo is more of a romance novel than FSOG, but only based on what team four star has read out loud.
Less ridicule, more like point out the hypocrisy of the general attitude. Yes, Katawa Shoujo is an excellent visual novel with a strong, singular narrative after have decided which of the romance options is most interesting. The art is wonderful, the music at times is incredible. Were you to adapt it into a series of 'What If' novels, I am certain it would blow shit like 50 Shades out of the water.Talaris said:Oh Escapist, the same website who loves Katawa Shoujo so much they wrote three articles about how amazing it is and everyone should play it, now jokingly ridicule the same audience they once persuaded. I actually didn't even know what a visual novel was before the Escapist recommendation, so I'm actually thankful and amused at the same time, because some visual novels are damn good, and I'll never forget Katawa Shoujo for introducing me to the medium.
I guess I felt rather sad that an ultimately boring book adapted from vampire fan fiction can actually reach mega popularity and acceptance in Western culture, whereas even the visual novels that are extremely well written, emotional and thought provoking still get lumped with the more 'extreme' examples [sub][sub] OK I admit it I really enjoyed playing through the School Days VN [/sub][/sub] and are labelled as outright pornographic. When it's OK for western films to have sex scenes and nudity, but VNs like Kanon are classed as pornographic for having a total roughly 18 sexual images, something just isn't right.
Well to be fair, VNs with sex scenes *ARE* pornographic.Talaris said:When it's OK for western films to have sex scenes and nudity, but VNs like Kanon are classed as pornographic for having a total roughly 18 sexual images, something just isn't right.

Do you realise I wasn't being serious with this bit in my post, right?

Don't worry I know your strips are satirical, I have to admit I found myself laughing at your original Katawa Shoujo strip.
