Also, I feel like the worst person on the planet for laughing as hard as I did at the censor image for Hanako's scene.
Shame on 4LS for knowing how goddamn funny that is. =w=
I recommended KS to my friends as well. The only one who actually downloaded it immediately started laughing when I told him about Emi.
To quote him "You
have anal with a loli? Really?" I was like:
"That's not the point, and that scene is more comedy than anything else"

Wait, they used Shrimp for the censor on Hanako's H scene? I have a dark/twisted sense of humor, so that'd probably make me laugh like a nut (probably worse than Hisao's amazing "I wonder if people discussing in sign language ever accidentally poke each other in the eyes."

From what I gathered, the image used to censor scenes is randomly generated. However, there is barbecued shrimp in the database. So, if that pops up for Hanako...

Steinherz - I hope you manage to talk them into playing. Inflicting "The Feels" on them is the best revenge ever.
Is it really necessary to mention the sex when telling friends about the game? It seems to give people a bad impression. Most love stories have a sex scene in them, but its not the main point of the story.

For weird prudes like myself, I can see the need for pre-emptive notices. Indeed, I do go mindless clicking during the H-scenes. Same with skipping such parts in fics.

Absolutely necessary. There've been threads here where people saw fit to whine about it after the sex unexpectedly came up.
People are stupid...

If they bothered to read the text fully before clicking, they should be warned in 9/10 times.

Really? Jeez, you'd think the "Disable Adult Content" box would have bought them a clue.
Sex scenes never really bothered me. I don't actively seek them out, but I certainly don't freak out about them.

I would have to agree that warning or mentioning the sex might be agaisnt the best interest for a proper presentation of KS. If the VN format wasn't so stigmatized maybe one could mention the sexual content without the fear people assuming it's porn-filled depravity but as things are now...

I do. Sometimes.
That's actually how I found out about KS in the first place.

Again, people are stupid.
I wouldn't bother pointing it out myself though because it's not important. Sex happens. People need to get over it.

"Healthy adolescent sex drive": Despite the meme, it exists, and sex education is meant to make the stuff enjoyable, and as safe and trouble-free as possible.

That's how it should work. but sadly we have a world full of prudes and religious types, who get all upset over the most natural of things.
Actually I'm surprised no religious groups have tried to get KS banned yet. I don't think we'll have really made it into the mainstream until then.
but really, I find porn boring. And all those gushing bodily fluids in hentai....ick. But I don't mind a little sex in a good love story. As long as its done tastefully, like in KS.

"... world full of prudes and religious types
who insist on imposing their views on others." I'm a weird prude, but I don't go around imposing my standards on others.

That makes you one of the good guys. A pleasure to meet you.
