Is it cruel to continually brush off Azzy?

I've read around and I've seen that the general consensus is that people dislike the sudden change in direction in terms of the relationship between the PC and Azzy, when Liaden is involved. I've yet to redo the Dawnsword quest (I remember feeling pretty miffed at the dialogue there), but I can respect and appreciate the dialogue being rewritten to outline Azzy's and her people's stances on relationships- lots of love to spread around, etc- as well as the option to say a perma-no to Azzy when she asks you for help regarding setting her up with Liaden. The thing is, I'm the type of person who hates picking the mean dialogue in RPGs, letting them down otherwise, etc. So I keep telling her later, rather than just biting the bullet and saying no forever- even if it means I'd be more satisfied overall with scenes involving my PC and Azzy without having her make mention of Liaden somewhere. (Also I know, it's double standards to be able to sleep around with whomever you like, but still want your partner to NOT do the same- to be fair, I tried to be as monogamous as possible when I started my run.) So even if I did tell her no forever, there would still be that inkling in the back of my head saying "they're probably still yearning in the background, monster".

Am I just weird?​

it isn't real, and thus nothing you do is capable of hurting others. they do not exist, they are simply a narrative tool that can be used to explore themes or not. it isn't cruel, strictly because Azzy and Liaden are not people with feelings to be considerate of. do what you want to see

Hah yeah, true that- but I still feel kinda guilty regardless, especially since I felt kinda vindicated when others felt like they were third-wheeling in the whole LiAzzy thing too

This is a porn game. If your not into it don't engage with it; just use the never option the first time Azzy asks about Liaden and be done with it.

Of course, of course- indeed, that's probably the sensible decision. Still, can't fault a guy for feeling a little somethin' at least
