Having done all the G-Wolf Family quests multiple times due to the decision to gate main quest progression behind Dog Days, Winter Wolf being a long one and the fact we need to do Shades of the Past to finish WW, I can safely say that was not a very fun content block to overcome. More than once, I would read it and think, "Uh, you know you're writing for a porno game, right?" So much drama, and probably the darkest thing we have to deal with in the whole game during the flashback.

Also it kind of tied into my major gripe with Kinu getting so much dedicated content to herself that is kept completely separate from us -- most of the time with the Wolf Fam and all the time with Kinu, I felt like my character was more of a bystander for other people's drama. It was written like it was made for a completely different game, maybe a George R. R. Martin thing. I mean, it's not like I hate any of the characters, but I don't really like being suddenly interrupted in the middle of a thing to suddenly astral project into my imaginary daughter's body for events I'm not at all sure of the outcome of.

While I see where you are all coming from, I still think that Regardless has a point and that Wsans explanation does not really feel like a sufficent enough of a justification for as to why allowing Bimbo champs to keep male pronouns should not be allowed.

First, you already know what to expect when you chose to take the Bimbo pill. Unlike our milk toast, run of the mill, zero corruption ass which fills to wide of a gap to be anything sort of distinct niche, DK and Bimbos are (relatively) well defined:. For the former there are not many assumptions one can make without steering into directions that some players would find questionable, the other two champs are more RP friendly since:
1)DK are assholes/bad guys and bad girls that keep getting away with it.
2)Bimbos are pure hearted beings that are as care free as they are absentminded. They also take on more feminine characteristics.
And unlike the comment that Wsan was replying to, accounting for DK and Bimbo personality is a expected part of the writing compared to individual races.

All this is to say, while I can understand that expectations when someone hears a Bimbo is that they posses female pronouns, that does not really mean that we really need to follow that precedent. After all, if someone likes to RP as a big buff guy that just happens to do little twirls while hopping into battle, let them. If they end up not liking it, a person can always opt out of being a bimbo by reloading a save.

That is how I see it.

Only in the direct sense, the darkest part is probably the setting itself if you take a moment to look at the cosmology of it all. The world itself is actually fairly grimdark if you get down to it.

Just as a quick aside:

Personally, I like the term "Himbo" a lot more than "Bimboi"

Then again, you could say that a Bimboi eventually grows up to be a proper Himbo, but that's neither here nor there :p

I suspect one's Johnny Bravo and the other one's the kind that would have Innocent Allure in TiTS.

Himbo = big, strong, good, nice, handsome, not the brightest dude.

Bimboi = bimbo traits but on a guy. Curvy, ditzy, slutty, etc. Things not connoted by himbo as a phrase. In the same way herbo was coined as the female version of a himbo, a woman who is big, strong, good, nice, etc.

Yeah I mean I certainly don't have an ideological objection to it. Nor any objection whatsoever. I was explaining why I would guess it's not implemented that way. And that would require a huge amount of rewriting.

I always think bimbo as female.. I've met a few simple women IRL but never a dumb bloke.

No, he said he never met a stupid man IRL.

Come on, it was a single sentence.
1) Emily is a woman, "she", come on it's a single name.
2) My point was clearly that that was an incredibly misogynist position and ridiculous, not to mention clearly untrue. Unless you've spent your entire life only seeing about 5 people, you will have met a stupid man.

My screenname is also taken from a female character and I assure you I'm a guy. Because, you know, the majority of people playing a porn game are inevitably guys. If my assumption is wrong I'm sure Emily doesn't need you to white-knight for her.

And no Karen, someone else never having met a stupid guy isn't somehow misogynist. Wind your neck back in and realize that you don't get to dictate other people's experiences. You are not life's manager.

Man, while I enjoy Rina lezdom/pussydom content, it is something that kind of muffles me in same wain as Azzy/Brienne scenes. Which is why I am thankful that Wsan wrote the other route where female/cboy get to Dom.

OK, I know that this my sound kind of strange, and maybe problematic, but I would kind of like that if the player has started one of 2 pussy paths with Rina, and have finished her initial three scenes, they later get locked out of the rest of the content if they grow a dick. Same for other way around.
For I do fancy the idea of getting a girl so pussy-whipped that she just loose interest in sausages.
And, on a minor meta level, I find it really strange how you can make Rina a femdom queen that suddenly breaks down into a subby mess the minute you grow a schlong. I know that simple answer is do not grow one, but still feels weird.

Also, -- ignore this if it got fixed, but I would like if the champions magic strap was not treated as a real dick. Thanks.

That last bit isn't going to change, it's treated like that for a reason.

It's a lot fucking easier to code it that way, it's up to the writer for having it being turned on to get acknowledged.

There is a parser for [pc.hasarealdick] that aknowledges if PC has a real dick or not. Maybe it was invented before Brihause got fully implemented and written , but still there are ways. Not sure how complicated it would be, but I still find it kind of a bummer if we could not use a strap-on on Rina without it being referred to as a real dick.

The only prolific writer that actually uses that parser is aly, and she makes ghostlight peen scenes specifically different from real cawk scenes.

It's due to the hypnotic properties of long, dangling objects.

YEP YEP! You got it right.
While there are not many fictional guys I can point to, my prefered kind of bimboi would be someone that is buff and stacked but still acts like the most precious little bean!
Something like this.

Funny thing is, Arona, ignoring her more unsavory orcish tendencies, is perfect example of Herbo. Tall, buff, pretty, full of heart but admittedly little dim in her noggin. Especially with her newer expansions really emphasizing her caring side.

It'd be nice if we had an option with Azy that encouraged her to go for it with Liaden, but meta-wise still removes the events for the player, at least pending the possible future edits to her and/or Liaden.

The interaction now feels like some really heavy guilting from Azy considering I just don't want to watch someone I love go clearly love someone else more than me. Sharing is caring, getting pseudo-cucked is...not my preference. lol
