Thanks for the reply. I haven't played that game, but I have to say even if that's true, I assume the characters in OL don't know anything about Shiloh other than what we see of him in OL, and neither do I as a player. So even if he is actually revealed to be a bad person in another game, that shouldn't inform judgment about his actions in this one. It just makes it confusing and uncomfortable for me as someone who was unaware of his other game but understands and somewhat relates to the way he is in OL.

I'm on my second playthrough, with DLCs for the first time, and I had nothing to say so far except I can't believe how good this game is. Slice of life isn't usually what I go for, but this game is so immersive and calming and as someone who sometimes wishes for more choices in visual novels, this is perfect. I admit I am typing this in a bit of a confused state because I just finished "Serendipity" in the Step 3 DLC and I found the (SPOILERS BELOW)

reaction to Shiloh pretending to forget who we were a pretty confusing. First because there was a brief period where my character was basically forced to side with Liz, when usually in the harder situations you can choose a wider range of how to feel and who you think is right. And I, the player, did not side with Liz at all. I sympathized with Shiloh immediately, thinking what he did was a little insensitive but there were a million potential good explanations and it was definitely not worth sending him home and never talking to him again over. I'm glad we got to make up, but I felt like the tone was still that we decided to stay friends with Shiloh in spite of him not deserving it. It just doesn't seem to fit the tone of the rest of the game? I feel like all the other characters who have been jerks or manipulative sometimes (younger Liz, Cove's dad) got much more compassion for their imperfect behavior.

You sound like you want us to think you have a magical life in some magical country where nobody needs to care about diversity because nobody has a problem with anyone who is "different" to begin with. If that's true and not just a new tactic of the anti-woke crowd, I'm happy for you because you truly don't need this game, you're living it without even realizing it. But please understand that 99.9% of us aren't as lucky as you, and I don't understand why it would offend you that some writers are trying to give other people a glimpse of the kind of life you're blessed to be living.
