since this shit needs clarity, weighing in as someone who was getting all of this secondhand while it was happening live and listened for months from rune gushing like a fanboy about this game before it suddenly ended over winter when he wound up in the hospital. he's still as of this week trying to get people to app this game in spite of how it ended.
nobody ship pushed and he didn't give a flying fuck who else shipped with anyone else and tells people to play what they like, he just wouldn't get in on it when playing a kid. since almost all there is in this game is adult characters gee can't imagine why he wasn't interested in polyshipping and made it clear he would not be into polyshipping with a kid.

The thing is, Rune brought it up multiple times unprompted in chat, but maybe he was just ensuring to make his boundaries clear. It was still kind of odd but it's not like people are experts at being normal in communication in this hobby. I'm just as faulty at that.

I'll also acknowledge that I know nothing about Rune promoting the game. I saw the crash out, saw someone asking for deets here, so I shared what I knew. I want to be clear that I didn't lay any initial accusations in this whole thread, even if I did agree with it, but if I'm wrong then that's on me.

But hey, we agree that nobody pushed in the cast, so that's pretty excellent.

with how often sex, shipping and who's doing who in what shape kept coming up in chat i can see why someone would want to keep reinforcing the boundary. personally i don't see the appeal of playing kid characters in games obviously tuned to a more adult population.

Might just be some clumsy communication in all sides, which wouldn't surprise me. I can't really fault that. It may have felt out of left field, but in context I can see why it was brought up. I wish there had been more clarity to it, but that's hindsight for you.

yeah we're not all spending our free time pretending to be superheros and villains and magical girls because we're normal well adjusted people with good communication skills.

You're good, and I had a chuckle at your comment!
