And now for an inappropriately long, maybe-spoilery comment about this NSFW-text furry VN.
I’ve been thinking about this VN’s story for like a month since I played it. It’s not perfect, but I really like it. It’s an unexpectedly thoughtful critique at how we learn about other identities and cultures through something as performative as porn, but instead of being an ugly mirror of the real world, it actually presents some original issues by talking about furry evolution and history. It feels grounded in something sensible. It’s not just an exhausting rehash of the social issues that my friends and I have to deal with. This VN actally tries to present and break-down sexual stereotypes that this furry world faces, as the guys ask questions and think about how those stereotypes came to be.
They end up realizing some of the half-truths they’ve been told through the porn industry. Then it’s cleared up as they talk from their own experience and give their personal understanding of their own species. (And then the cat guy shows off his dick as proof.) It’s kind of beautiful? It’s an awesome way to demonstrate the deconstruction of stereotypes, where people just kinda listen to people unlike themselves and they learn something. It’s like, furry porn social justice. Can I say that to someone not in my friend circle and have it be taken as a compliment?
I really appreciate that this VN asks more questions to set species as something apart from something we could quickly identify in the real world. None of the stereotypes or issues presented have obvious “answers”. It suggests that we’d have this problem with any identifier if there was a distinct difference between the media we see, and the experiences of those people in real life. Different species still deal with stereotypes that come from porn, or even just from outsiders coming into big cities, but some of these stereotypes are apparently decent appraisals, so between these guys some of them are alright and don’t affect them negatively. But all of these stereotypes are based on sex or bodies, and the way the questions are phrased gives me the impression that these aren’t topics often talked about in public.
Breaking down these stereotypes is not something you could “solve” in a day because so many specifics would be involved. We only have the perspective of these two guys, but they tell us so much. You just have to sit and think about how what they talk about affects other furries like themselves as something ongoing. And that’s kind of awesome for some random furry VN on the internet to make me feel.
This hows how simple a VNG can be and how good it still is. its have no color, no million dollors art and no fancy BGM but i still find it good i really love it even if it was really shout i may do a gameplay of it and put it on my channel { https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYDEJgQnCAGS_k98JF0jNLA } at one point. just sad there was no Adult art in it.
I don't know if this was your intention, but "he's sexy but it's not like I want to have sex with him but I kinda want to watch him have sex" is, like, big autochorissexual mood, so thanks for that relatable representation lmao. Also I'm a big fan of exploring awkward and honest conversations about sex with the comfortable distance of a fictional universe and fantastic biology, so apparently you do have a target audience and it is me.
That wasn't quite my intention, but I do think that's an interesting interpretation that makes sense.
I was mainly thinking that these guys are, well, mostly straight, and wanted to show some of the variation possible there. I imagine both of them have had sex with women, have enjoyed this quite a bit, and want to continue doing this—it's only their attraction to men, like each other, that's a bit weaker, and that they are more ambivalent about.
I think it does make sense that this could end up getting expressed similarly to some forms of asexuality, like autochorissexuality, but I didn't really think of that possibility until now :p
If you like alternate universe explorations of sexuality, you may like my other stuff—although I often take advantage of the alternate universe part more to increase moral complexity than to create a "comfortable distance," so it may not always be the most relaxing thing in the world :p
