That would have been much better for your point. From what you stated, you consider it fine for someone to use drugs or mind control or blackmail to force females to have sex with them, and its still a light game. So coersion is acceptable in light and bubbly romances. However, have a game that features a protagonist that says things like “I don’t like the way that guy was looking at you. I should go punch in his teeth and teach him to respect women a bit.”, and that’s “dark”. Or have him say “F*** you, you moron!” often enough, and that’s dark. As long as I know the measure you are using, then I can translate it to my viewpoint. Such as, having an alien watch your every move and take over every female that comes near you, using that body to try to hump you to death, leaving the poor gals screaming in thier imprisoned body “No! no! no!”. That would be story or light comedy/romance or sex romp in your scale. Because the main character is a nice guy.
Not a big deal, Shiki. As long as we end up buying and playing games we like. I had just wondered what element seperated Idols into the dark category, when much “meaner to the gals more often” titles weren’t in that category.
shrug It’s all good.
