well when 4LS were making the game im guessing they didnt really expect it to be as big as it is now. it was just more of a "hey this idea sounds interesting, lets make a game about it" collab. if they were serious about it i doubt they would have made it a free download or name it Katawa Shoujo. however i asked my Japanese friend if the word Katawa is offensive and he said "it is?' so i dunno how reliable that info is.Pyramid Head wrote:Okay i really do need to address this because it's been a recurring problem within the online community of gamers and assholes. Katawa Shoujo should have gone by a different title, Four Leaf dropped the ball. I know it was the draft name by Raita, but while i don't necessarily disagree with you about meaning and context being more important than the word itself, words typically used for dehumanization shouldn't be taken lightly. Katawa is a derogatory term like bitch or retard, and considering that there is a good reason for the reaction you get for words used in such a context, more care should be put into the use. Besides, so what if it was the name of Raita's draft? Do you think every working title sticks? Hell, even Stephanie Meyer's knew that, she called her work "Twilight" instead of going with her working title "Evil Bitch and her Sparkly Faggot."
As for the topic, i personally foresee a whole lot of NTR with Hanako, Lilly, and Shizune but i've seen crap like that for K-On! of all things, so schlock like that is almost to be expected. Lots of rape is also to be expected because there tends to be a fair deal of sexual frustration being vented by doujin artists. But if by some small miracle we get past the crude fan porn, i still foresee disaster because i expect there'll be a few doujins focusing on Hanako taking up self harm. But once we get past the rapes and dark fantasies, we--
STILL have disaster because of all the slash. Lets face it, doujins are no different from video games. For every Half-Life 2 there are 60 Call of Duty: Black Ops, and the fact that Katawa Shoujo already is an adult item with some pitch black elements makes me put it right next to Fire Emblem on "Things to never check the doujins of."
well there really is no point in making Vanilla of Katawa Shoujo because it already has sex scenes in the game. maybe if they did like a timeskip to like a high school reunion it might work, but it is kind of pointless. its like making a rape doujin of Monmusu Quest.
just think of all those foot fetish possibilities with Rin. heck i've seen a Touhou doujin titled "A book about Patchouli's feet." maybe of one where Shizune is a dominatrix. or one about Miki.
edit: o and about the Fire Emblem doujins, theres a whole series about having various characters from series being broken called Victim Girls.
