I've just realised I've failed to give my opinion on the matter, just attempted to clarify what PDD-NOS is. Well, here goes. In my opinion: it doesn't matter. We can associate whatever mental disorder we like with Rin's behaviour, but that doesn't change the fact that she's just... Rin. Rin is Rin, ...

This is adorable! Great job, mono. (even if you'll never read my praise)

Ah yes, DSM-V shuffled around a lot in it's update. Or are we on DSM-VI? I haven't been keeping up to date :lol: Like how ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) has been renamed to ADHD-PI (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Predominantly Inattentive), to avoid confusion with ADD (Alcohol Dependa...

This. I basically do nothing but read VNs and bum around and this is one of the best VNs I have ever read.

That is what now? You know how autism is a spectrum, right, and encompasses a bunch of stuff? Well, PDD-NOS used to fall into that in the DSM-IV but if I recall correctly, doesn't anymore. It stands for a pervasive development disorder not otherwise specified. It was often referred to as 'atypical ...

If we're talking about us, the players, being pushed into Yamaku... I'd be Shizune. I wouldn't be Hisao, I'd really just be an alternate Shizune and so probably end up with her. And if we're saying that you're put into Hisao's position, but not restricted by the choices, I'd probably end up with Shi...

Wow, this thread has changed it's main focus so much it's kind of scary. Before I accidentally revived this, everyone was expressing hate for Shizune. But now it seems most just disagree with some of her actions. I will give you that Shizune does some weird, slightly uncalled for things. She's still...

Holy shit, what have I revived? This has turned into quite the debate, and I now feel inadequate because I can't contribute as much as I'd like. Anyways, yes, Shizune's actions were uncalled for in that one scene. That still doesn't make her a bad character, as many in the thread have said she is.

I still don't really get why people hate Shizune, though I know I won't change anyone's mind.

I don't see Shizune as a bully at all. It's been a while since I went down her path, but all she seems to be is occasionally inconsiderate. And also, maybe passionate about her ideals. If that makes a bully, shit, I and people I know must all be bullies, then. I haven't been able to say who my favou...

The scene where Shizune ties up Hisao's hands definitely isn't rape. He may have preferred to be able to move more, but he was definitely not wanting her to stop, and definitely didn't try to stop her. And while I agree that Shizune is unnecessarily mean to Hanako at points, and Hanako is my favouri...

I feel like I'm a terrible person and that everyone will hate me, but uh... I'm basically Shizune IRL, just not deaf. She's actually not my favourite because of that. She reminds me of how mean I can be sometimes :( . But other than that, no I don't dislike her at all. She's probably my second or th...
