Topic | Can you think of any media that both condemn and appeal to the same thing? |
PerseusRad 03/12/24 10:13:55 AM #1: | Kind of awkward question phrasing on my part. I feel like it's hard to explain, so I'll try giving an example. In the Coffin of Andy and Leyley, incest, or at least the implication of it, is pretty prevalent. Nothing is graphically show on-screen, but there are some undertones (and one overtone). From what I remember from the game, it shows the relationship between the brother and sister to be evidently unhealthy. It's pretty much never commented on positively in-game. Ending of chapter 2 spoilers: Besides what's in the spoilers, there's some art that kinda plays it up in a manner that appeals to those who like the idea of it between the two characters. For instance, this was posted a while back: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/308f41c7.jpg I sometimes see people complain about this game as if it unquestionably supports their relationship, but I feel that's a misreading of those who haven't played the game. At the same time, it isn't entirely unfair either, people who seem to like the taboo, seem to like the game, and arts like the above definitely appeal to those people, even if the contents of the game don't quite match. Hopefully this illustrates my question well enough. I'd honestly rather use a different example, but the other one I could think of was more spoilery. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
