On the subject of Shizune's route, how do the devs feel about the idea that Hideaki has a female or nonbinary gender identity? By which I mean, just as it's easy for a reader to interpret Kenji as being in denial about his sexuality, it's pretty easy to read Hideaki as being a trans girl or nonbinar...

Maybe it's just because I'm obsessed with cyberpunk culture, but I don't get the opposition to uses of Japanese words and honorifics, especially in something like KS where they've been used in their proper context. Authors like William Gibson use them all the time. The inclination to see them remove...

I really loved Hisao calling Hanako out on her white knighting last chapter. That really didn't sit well with me. Also, you can add me to the chorus of people who want to know where the hell Lilly is, but Dewelar isn't Doomish, so she probably hasn't been kidnapped by a pimp and forced to work in a ...

You know, it's possible to play Mass Effect 2 and beat Mass Effect 3 in such a way that literally nobody survives. It's tricky (it's actually much, much harder than anything else in the game,) but it is possible.

It's also my favorite ending, since it's the only one where Joker dies.

Have you heard of something called the Washington monument?

Have any of those people ever read fanfiction or alternate interpretations of anything? One of them is my ex, and no, he does not read fanfiction. He doesn't even like branched visual novels, preferring linear stuff like Planetarian, Ef, Kanon, etc. I don't agree with the idea that Hisao is out of ...

I'm a little disappointed that she's not wearing the green jacket from your avatar, but yeah, dear god is that amazing.

That's a bad analogy. The answer to that depends on which anime you're in.

I don't know; the argument is almost existential in its weirdness. Like, can one person in one exact moment in time really do more than one thing? Is Hisao a character with a characterization, or is Hisao a puppet built by 4LS for our amusement? What is Hisao? It depends on your perspective, I guess...

The game is over several times before you completely finish it. Only doing the good endings is like playing the game and calling it quits after you finish Emi and Hanako's routes. yes you "beat" the game, but you didn't even come close to finishing it all. There are people who refuse to g...

Two characters wiped off the slate, just like that. And then Hisao arbitrarily joins them at the end, because why not. Don't forget that Yamaku Academy got demolished, too. No reason why, though clearly it's because the Yamaku Foundation was so overwhelmed with grief at the loss of Emi and Rin that...

This is probably one of the weirder questions I've asked, but why does Katawa Shoujo's interface use this color scheme?



I feel like it's meant to evoke something, but I'm not really clear on what exactly that's supposed to be. Graphite on wood?
