Mind if I include this story in my paper? It touches on the central point I'm attempting to make.

Big & Rich, "Holy Water." I mentioned this in another thread as a song that makes me cry, but I also can see it as a song symbolizing how others tend to look at Hanako, particularly in the verses: Somewhere there's a stolen halo I used to watch her wear it well Everything would shine w...

Since we're not limiting this to strictly VN's or other Japanese media ... Mockingjay : Buttercup comes home and comforts Katniss, after she tries to shoo her away by telling her Prim is dead. I'm a sucker for anything with cats. One Piece anime: Arlong Park, when Nami stabs herself to try to remove...

Again, my deepest thanks to everyone who has responded to this questionnaire thus far. I've now begun the process of collecting academic research regarding psychological treatises of empathy in interpersonal relationships, so that there's something to compare KS to. I figured I'd answer one question...

I'm an INTP myself ;) And being a psychologist myself, this has been an amazing opportunity to observe all of this. Would you be interested in joining me on this paper? I mean, I'm more on the artsy side of things than the clinical side: you might be better on the clinical. I at least can analyze w...

Glad I'm not the only academic taking a (slightly) clinical look at the game.

Thank you to all who have contributed thus far to this thread. I think this weekend's collection of information will be an awesome start. I'd still like to get more, though. If you scrolled through all the responses and have lost track of the questions, here they are again: 1. Which girl's thread af...

An academic paper? Very interesting. I don't suppose you'd tell us your name, or at least what university you're from, so that we can keep an eye out? Budding grad students want to know! There's a post above which takes you to a Google books listing for my Master's thesis. The listing gives you my ...

The thesis actually seems to exist in case someone was wondering. Yep, that's mine, all 100 pages' worth of it. Interesting that the page here looks to be in some kind of Nordic language: one of the sources cited in the work was from a Norwegian literary criticism journal. EDIT: I should note befor...

While being on the internet for quite some time, I cannot resist a suspicion of a great trolling in progress, I guess I can spill my guts a bit. If it's true, I hope you will link the results of your work. That's the least we can expect for revealing the shallow depths of our thoughts in this matte...

Interesting. Professor, I don't suppose you'd mind posting your credentials? If this is going to be an academic paper, you'll have your real name associated with it soon enough, so that shouldn't be a problem, right? I'd also like to be able to look up the completed paper, especially if it's publis...

Watered up during both Lilly and Emi. Lilly was a deeper emo feel, though, because of the raw emotions involved.

Interesting that both are the ones that nearly kill Hisao ...

I suppose this is an unusual post for this board, and if I ask questions that have already been asked then I truly apologize, as I've come to Katawa Shoujo very late. I will explain what this is about, though. My username doesn't lie: I am indeed a college professor at a small college in the souther...
