I can't do it. It's a source of great embarrassment in my area

I'll think that many people still find it hard to accept that folks who can't see or hear, or are missing arms and legs, are average folks. They have many of the same concerns and emotions as the rest of us.
But here's the thing, whenever I used to look at disabled people before I would pity them. I don't do that anymore, they're just like us they don't need pity. Katawa Shoujo helped me grow as a person.

I had a similar outlook - mentally assenting to the fact that the disabled are people, just like anyone else, but not really feeling it in the heart. KS changed that.

As to the topic, I've managed to get two of my friends to try KS. Neither of them had the enthusiastic, falling-in-love reaction that I had. Though one of them suggested I'd probably like the Persona games and lent them to me, so that isn't bad. Still, I guess it makes me a little sad, just because KS meant so much to me.

Oh, well - just means I don't have to share my waifu with them. ;)
You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.

Obviously those people aren't really your friends.

Kill them.

I'd argue otherwise but that isn't what this thread is for. :lol: At least ya got Persona, mysterycycle. Having them react so unenthusiastically must've been unbearable though.

I think one of the main issues in this topic was simply getting people to play the game. Hence, why you can't kill people, but you CAN threaten to kill them. An unloaded gun, in a sense. (Of course, that's illegal, too. But still -- it might work.)

Thanks, Oddball.

This is why I like to refer to you as, "Queen Tsundere".

Because she advocates empty threats? That isn't tsundere... :lol:

@Moto: Pacifist, eh? Tell them for every route they complete, you'll punch a person of their choosing in the face.
