    Good. Honestly most games in the sex space are pretty bad for both consent and treating the characters like actual people.

    The dialogue is pretty unrealistic too.

    The only good one we have come across so far is Cute Demon Crashers. It is heavily about consent and the writing isn’t that bad either. True, it’s not going to be ‘realistic’ in terms of character models nor have fully fleshed out sex scenes but since most in that genre seem to be terrible in general perhaps that is a good thing.

      Are you good with the games that involve killing other people against their consent?

        I can do them, but honestly I would prefer to have played through many without such a mainstay of games. It just often gets in the way of what I am really there for: the story. Plus it’s becoming more and more gruesome.

        I think though killing and rape are not exactly the same. Women are historically treated very poorly in game spaces, both in games and outside of them. This kind of thing just adds to it and honestly makes me question what the developers are really like.

        As someone else said “check whether there are women in the developer’s dungeon”.

          I’m not sure I’d wonder any more about those developers than anyone else.

          Without getting into TMI I very much enjoy non consent fantasy to the point where I had a CNC relationship with my wife for the first five years. And two things I’ve learned about myself are: I’m not physically capable of even play rape, and that having the power was much more fun and exciting than exercising the power.

          So to me it feels perfectly normal to be aroused by fantasy rape but not at all by the manifestation of it. I’m sure it’s not mainstream or anything, and there are a lot of people out there, like Andrew Tate, who are exactly what they say they are.

          I think it’s fine to look into it and see which is the case, but I personally wouldn’t expect to find any girls in basements who aren’t there consensually based on the content of their games.
