if you had to choose between playing two near-identical visual novels (Pokemon style) but one was set in Melbourne and one was set in Adelaide, which version would you pick?
off the cuff I was gonna say "melbourne for the tsukihime style psychological aspect" but then I saw the second option was adelaide and got paralysed for a bit there. still leaning melbourne though, not as an endorsement of it, mostly just to see what you can cook with it

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

im glad we're mostly out of the "girls are so soft uwu" era. it was really hard for me to go through as a girl with a segmented carapace covered in hundreds of tiny barbs
all i'm saying is that if the only lens you can enjoy a story or a character dynamic through is romance and shipping, then well. your media analysis skills are just kinda shit actually. and i'm not sorry for saying it. you're missing the point of the story in question and removing the things that make it unique by shoving everything into boxes. not everything goes in the square hole.
"good representation" this "bad representation" that im ttired of characters being simplified to representation! are they cool????? are they interesting????????? do they have depth to their character????? are they actually written to be people or are they a list of traits that are 100% by the book, are as perfectly inoffensive as possible (meaning they do essentially nothing), speak exclusively in therapyspeak, and can be simplified to the most basic of character tropes for fan activities (shipping)? would you prefer that? or would you prefer characters that are people? because I don't think you can have both.
does anyone remember that one Tumblr account that was dedicated exclusively to hating on Jon Arbuckle
i remember
hey, small psa:
fictives are just people. you wouldn't walk up to a person you saw on the news once while they're having dinner and say "holy shit guys it's Jimothy Cumwomble, great job on stopping that armed robbery, sorry your brother died in the process". that would be completely socially unacceptable - you'd be butting in on their life, overstepping not just their boundaries but basic social decency, and bringing up potentially traumatic life events. it's rude, infantilizing, and potentially directly harmful. so why would you do the same to a fictive just because you know, or think you know, their source?
and that's not to say "never bring up a fictive's source to them", plenty of fictives enjoy talking about their sources! but there's a little thing called tact. you can ask whether they're okay with talking about it, or join in on a conversation where they already are, even just a "hey if you don't mind could we chat about your source" would go a long way. but suddenly changing the topic to their source not just without warning but by singling them out as "weird" or "interesting" and saying things about their source that would never be appropriate to say to a singlet about their past is not cool.
TLDR, a fictive existing in a public space is not an excuse to single them out, put a spotlight on them, and bring up potentially traumatic parts of their history just because you think their source is neat. have a little common sense about timing and approach, or just let them exist in peace.
it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.
