honestly? that was the part i found gross. there was a really skeevy narrative of "girls who don't grow up with strong male figures in their lives become broken and unable to function properly in society" going on. that was why every woman you meet in the game, with the exception of cybil, was dependent on and/or taken advantage in some way by a man. it didn't jive well with me.

idk just something about the way everything was framed in that story rubbed me the wrong way. i can't really explain it too well. it was just a gross feeling i got. like, yeah, both harry and dahlia were at fault for their marriage falling apart, but it felt like the game was trying to drive home the point of oh if only cheryl had her daddy growing up she wouldn't be so fucked up. no thanks.
