Well, I had no illusions. I was fully expecting that type of reply, and even though I really hoped to be wrong, I wasn't.
First of all, I NEVER said a clairvoyant dream was absolutely necessary to make Ashley aware of Andrew's attraction — that wasn't part of your original question.
After I explained that we (the players) knew that, and the scene serves the narrative to give Ashley that information, you changed the subject to something else entirely. Now, it went from "How does it help the narrative" to "Why couldn't it have been done differently?".
Fine, let's address that too:
A little bit of genre literacy would help understand why the creator of a dark fantasy piece of media would decide to go for maximum shock rather than a tame reveal.
You said it yourself, the players can know Andrew is into Ashley even before that dream; the game slowly does a tame reveal first, and, as it branches off in multiple routes, Ashley only gets that specific dream in one of them — Now, it does seem like its mere existence as a possibility turned off a lot of people like you from the game, and basically left only proshippers in the fandom. Back when only Chapter 1 had been released, I used to see antis talking about it, now most of them are gone. The game isn't attracting proshippers, antis are the ones too entitled to stick with anything that doesn't conform 100% to their tastes.
I could (ironically) criticize any other aspect of the game with the same argument "We all know that if you're locked up in your apartment and starving, eating a neighbor is the only possible solution. Couldn't Nemlei have thought of something else? Amazing." And why stop there? We could go on forever picking apart pieces of media that way, "Mortal Kombat doesn't need fatalities! All that gore is so unnecessary!"
Last but not least, disappointed but not surprised.
The only one who "admitted" anything here was you. What I said was:
Calling me "gross" was just the first thing I assumed you would do, which you did. I doubted it would take long for you to start with the personal attacks against me, and since you openly admitted I'm "absolutely right", you aren't above throwing insults at someone who is trying to have a civilized debate, this is where I draw the line and you won't hear further from me.
Amazing discussion indeed.
