I'm not, at least not with the way Nammah approached it.
As someone who was going to join the cast, it was really jarring for me to watch as Ichigo and Masaki treat each other as boyfriend and girlfriend, especially with how the rest of the cast seemed to accept it without any problems.
The chip may be an excuse ooc behaviour but at least she could address it instead of having Masaki having no problems with fucking her son. Not once have I ever seen her regret or think about how wrong the whole situation was and how she chose to continue it.
again: i think ariel isn't/wasn't the game for you.
guilt-free kink of the kind that would be unacceptable in other games is what ariel is supposed to be for. i'm sorry you found it jarring but to me that just says that not joining the bleach cast was the right choice for you more than anything else.
if it was amat or one of the three new sex games i would totally agree with you, to say nothing of how wildly inappropriate and borderline disgusting doing something like that in a gen game would be. but ariel is for kink first and icness second or not at all. that's the entire point of the game. the only time other people's kinks are your business is if they're trying to force them on you. if you want people to stick rigidly to what's ic, find a different game. if you find something a cast is doing off-putting or jarring, don't join that cast.
i too have issues with nammah, and i agree with a lot of the criticisms of her and her writing, but i think anyone who complains about how someone else approaches kink in ariel is in the wrong game.

yeah contrary to popular belief, these two things are NOT mutually exclusive. it is completely possible to keep your guy or gal reasonably themselves without totally throwing characterization down the shitter. yes, even in a kink game, yes, even in ariel. plenty of people have done it so this whole "EVERYONE IS OOC" attitude, which btw was used to excuse total garbage players like That Dawn who was literally just playing a blow-up doll OC with her face pasted on, is really tiresome.
is masaki ooc? eh. i'd say not really given she barely has any screentime anyway. is nammah boring to thread with? definitely. but if you want "stupidly ooc and no longer even playing their own character for the sake of kink" examples, we've got way worse than her, so i feel this wank is misguided.
but seriously, please stop bandying this idea about that it's impossible to play the character you actually apped and not just an unrecognizable kinkbot. that's not the case at all.
eh, my argument was less that everyone is ooc in ariel and more than ariel exists of facilitate hard kink at the expense of characterization if that's the route someone wants to go down. ariel isn't meant to be a pinnacle of characterization, it's meant to first and foremost facilitate kink. if you also want to try to be ic at the same time, great, but if you want a game where characterization is sacred, then go literally anywhere else.
ariel legit did not even have a "be ic" rule for years, and it's commonly accepted (even among people who generally try to stay ic) that characters will sometimes do things that go against their natures because of the chip, i frankly can't name a single character who i thought was always perfectly 100% ic at all times. although i will admit some have managed to be a lot closer to ic, a lot more often, than others.
i just thinking bitching about what kinks someone plays out in the kink game is stupid, and frankly much more tiresome than just about everything else.
tbh masaki is pretty much on the level of That Dawn. all she is an excuse for Nammah to play whatever kink she wants under the guise of canon character and castmates to interact with.
masaki is ooc. if you think kubo would write her fucking her own son and not feeling guilty as fuck over it, then fucking him again, and then again, then i'm going to side-eye you tbh.
she's ooc for more reasons than one but this is the main culprit on my list. she's had enough screentime to at least establish that she has a certain moral code.
