Just being offered the possibility to resist doesn't mean you will also be actually able to resist in this game.

You can rise Confidence slowly by having your Mood very high, near 100. And this in turn can be achieved by being well fed, clean, well rested and, yes, sexually content. So either have sex a lot or just masturbate. You can lower your Confidence by unwanted acts performed to you. But I don't know if this is permanent.

I would argue that driving your desire up by drugs and then making you accept sex is as well a rape as any other. This at least is my understanding how this would be handled in a real life court.

And this whole notion of women who "just pretend and just need to be aroused and then they are willing" is a very misguided misconception from real life porn, has nothing to do with reality and which, funnily enough, matches this whole misogynistic world of "The Fixer" perfectly.

And your argument about Allure is also borderline, since many rapers argue it's the women's own fault for wearing revealing clothing.

Don't get me wrong. This is a game and not reality so it has its own rules and laws. I'm just saying any game setting of "The Fixer" is as good as any other since any comparison to real world is - or should be - deeply disturbing. Which I think is exactly one of the goals of this game. To be exaggeratedly satirical and caricatural.

To be honest I'm very glad that you aren't raped on every corner in "The Fixer". The whole notion of the forced re-population, child licenses and women being forced to carry to term their offspring even in cases of planned brutal rape is already disturbing enough. But of course that's my own opinion and I'm liberal enough to accept anyone's view in a completely fictional world.

Thanks for clearing up the situation with the bullies. This will move the Bambi origin a bit down my pipeline of origins yet to play.

When I was talking about things being debatable if they're rape, I wasn't referring to things that happen if her drink is spiked. I was talking about naturally having your character's desire get super high (which it will do if you're not doing anything sexual), getting on the bus, and then actively choosing to let someone fuck her. There's one event at high Desire where she consciously chooses to look for someone to grope her, and then you're given the choice on whether or not to let them go further. There's another event where someone just starts groping her, and it begins with a "Accept Sexual Advances" popup. This one is directly dependent on desire. There is no "Reject" version of this event. If you're Desire is low enough that you'd reject the advances, the event just doesn't even trigger.

I also didn't say anything about high Allure making it "the woman's fault." I'm just saying if nonconsensual events have to rely on any stat to trigger, Allure is the one that would make the most sense. It's the same way that Degrees of Lewdity works. The higher your Allure, the higher the chance that someone will attack you. Maybe part of the problem is, because of the dialogue, I'm expecting this game's world to be similar to Degrees of Lewdity. And maybe the intention is that it is similar in the lore, but not in the gameplay.

No, no, I understand. I didn't try to accuse you or anything. There are so many different events in the game.

My rant was more directed to the general audience who might read our conversation. I just felt it necessary to point out to everybody that this is a game far away from reality. Your comments were just the right occasion.

Don't do this at home, kids! ;)
