Actually you SHOULD make problematic content. You SHOULD explore dark or taboo topics. You SHOULD have a space where you can cope with your traumas or explore sensitive topics in a way that doesn't hurt anyone.

Also you should make problematic content for funsies. You don't need to have had trauma or need to be coping in order to explore dark creativity. You can just be a human who wants to explore dark and taboo topics because you want to. That's completely normal, btw.

Every single person on this planet thinks about dark and taboo things. It's literally the most normal thing in the world.

Go draw the horror porn and be free.

idk man sometimes i like it when video game writers are allowed to plan a series of events that happen in a specific order and affect each other in turn to become an overarching narrative, and i don’t mind trusting those writers to take me through those events in the order that is emotionally effective. i don’t really care if a game forces me to go through the forest area first before i can attempt the icy area because maybe there’s things that happen in the forest area that inform later scenes in the icy area. maybe we don't need more superficial player choice open world concepts if it comes at the cost of the ability to write a story with actual significant plot events and character development in each section

Would you happen to have any idea of why Bug type Pokemon are strong against Psychic types? The leading theory is that it's a common phobia overpowering the mind, but that doesn't feel like a route Japanese developers would take, what with bugs having much stronger positive connotations in their culture. The idea that bugs' minds are too simple to be effected by psychic powers also doesn't feel like something they'd go for. It just seems like utter nonsense to me.

Pokemon in general is based on kaiju and tokusatsu, and insects are simply the most iconic recurring aesthetic for tokusatsu heroes, which I've discussed before as the reason bug type beats dark type

HOWEVER, I think I forgot to ever get into why psychic would be included, which is that the VILLAINS in tokusatsu itself are almost always psychic or magical or employ psychic or magical underlings. I only say "almost" because I can't rule out an exception is out there, but I've actually never seen an exception. 100% of tokusatsu I'm familiar with have magic or mysticism somewhere in the bad guy faction, and it's often that the evil big boss is some kind of demon, witch, yokai, wizard or god themselves.

So thanks to one television genre, there is an unspoken cliche in japan that a beetle or a locust would be the archest nemesis of a telepathic warlock, and usually win.

Ooh, cool.

I do wonder why Bug is weak against Fairy, though. From a game balance standpoint I would've expected them to want to give the Bug type another advantage if they got the opportunity. Is a fairy more heroic than a bug?
