I'm still just so in love with the options in Mask of the Rose. There isn't only a romance or no romance option! They went above and beyond. They actually broke down allo, allo aro, allo ace, and aroace! I've rarely seen such care and commitment from anyone dealing with aspec issues and I'm just full of warm thoughts

I also notice you guys seem to have put some aro/ace options into the early-game Persuasive advancement in Fallen London?

Utterly obsessed with these Shakespeare playbook covers from the late 1960s by Paul Hogarth
thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity.
spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.
A small collection (feel free to add):
@staff You're not very subtle.

“What if jigsaw tortured the right people” is such an asinine sentiment I feel like it must’ve been a joke that unfortunately got a shitty essay appended to it
Extremely similar to “why didn’t light kill billionaires with the death note.” Sometimes…fiction explores actual existing attitudes towards people who are actually unjustly vilified irl and the violence inherent in maintaining the status quo…light and jigsaw both embody actual attitudes towards criminals and other people seen as undesirable. even if it doesn’t necessarily tackle those subjects well (I’d saw saw is way better at it than death note, which is really not that well-executed despite a high-concept premise). Not everything is wish fulfillment and I’m glad for that
I think if you look at a character like light or jigsaw and wonder why they’re not carrying out your idea of justice, you’ve lost the plot, like literally that is not the plot of either narrative and “people who truly ‘deserve it’ getting brutalized for the viewer’s entertainment” would be a totally juvenile premise that would be a million times more reactionary because the average viewer does think that drug addicts, people who’ve been to prison, etc “deserve it.” The average viewer has a lot in common with jigsaw and yet saw puts the viewer in the position of wanting to see jigsaw’s victims, the same people they’d probably be disgusted by irl, escape his “punishment.” For all the ways death note sucks, it does establish very early on that light is a tyrant who has to be stopped. Both of which are immensely more effective at making the audience question their base assumptions than the wish-fulfillment desires im referencing in the initial post
“I wish the guy who thinks torture is curative agreed with me on who deserves the torture” DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF!!! GO WORK IN A PRISON OR JOIN THE MILITARY. START YOUR LOCAL AUM SHINRIKYO IMITATOR CULT. GODDAMN
