I’m ace……so I do not know what you mean. I bring it up, as an ace person myself. I am not speaking for all aces, but myself as an ace. And regardless, assuming someone’s sexuality (regardless of sexuality) is bad.

I meant that I’m ace and it was like whatever. And Seb isn’t a person, he is a character, trying to get his deal through puzzling, and guessing, and using outside knowledge is, like, half of fun in engaging with a character.

It is worth mentioning that if you are attracted only to women and don’t want to mess up somebody’s marriage (even if it is a bad marriage at time of writing) Seven is your only option for a full romance route.
This is just a hundred percent true though, if you want to shoot back at Seven you absolutely have the option to.

Yes but you cannot pretend making assumptions of someone’s (even fictional) sexuality isn’t toxic af. You don’t assume a woman who isn’t feminine is a lesbian. You do not assume a man is gay if he is “effeminate”. Assuming is bad. Bad bad bad. It also leads to a lot of issues. Because you say, oh they could be, and if people start taking it like “oh nice finally an ace RO”, only to get the rug pulled out from under them (a la A from Wayhaven) it causes unnecessary drama.

Yeah I will agree that the female RO options are limited because it’s either the married couple or the person that hates you haha. I don’t mind personally because I generally like most of the ROs, but I do hope that for some gender balance in the ROs that the sub romances (even though they aren’t full routes) will still be satisfying

I don’t pretend, I think that assuming anything about a fictional character is fine until you push it onto other real people. If people can’t handle their frustration because they imagined something and it wasn’t that - that’s on them, I couldn’t care less.
And now I want my ugly MC conversation back, not this preaching about imaginary rights of imaginary people.

Yeah 
it’s unfortunate for the people who want a mostly drama-free female option. I understand that completely.
Yeah! I’d even say that there are more ways to be mean to Seven, or at least gently admonish them, than there are to just put up with it. And really, the passive options work well if you’re playing a chronic people pleaser MC who desperately wants to keep the peace at the expense of their own comfort. Some characters are going to be snappy and rude and some characters won’t push back at all. You get a good amount of variation in choice in that regard, I think.

Can someone send me the demo link? I can’t seem to open the DEMO link
Thanks a lot❤️
You’re not the only one. That first interaction with her I had her pegged at 14-15 and was screaming in my head “WHY DO YOU HAVE HER AT THIS EVENT” at Sebastian. I was semi-shocked when later on in the hotel the conversation immediately turns to “she’s going to start college this fall.”

Can’t you be ready for college at like 17? I know next to nothing about this stuff in America. Plus, Maya does give excited and a tad bit coddled late teen vibes, so everything checks out.

I just wanted to chime in with some thoughts about this game, because while I did enjoy most of it some things do sour it (mostly Seven tbh - the more I replay the more I just dislike the character as a romance option). And I need to get this off my chest somewhere.
To be perfectly honest, Seven doesn’t work as an RO for me (specifically an ex!Seven who you didn’t vote against) because of how their past relationship with the MC fell apart.
And from everything that the author has said about it, I just don’t see how Seven could come out of it looking like anything other than a complete jackass when the author finally stops withholding the events that led up to how their acting in the present.
From everything that we are given (with a few bits coming from Tumblr), the fall-out from the fateful vote happened sometime after Seven attempted to make the most out of the decision.
And while they did have a “conversation” about it with MC after the vote happen, according to the tumblr post about it, it basically came down to MC not pushing Seven into revealing what he was actually feeling after saying he was fine with it.
Which in turn eventually led to the drunken blow out at a party; the details of which we are still not privy too outside of being told through tumblr that MC and Seven said some nasty things to each other.
And then in response to the fight; Seven ghosts the MC (for up to a month) and then after officially breaking up proceeds to rub it in their face as much as possible by making sure the MC knew they were sleeping around afterwards.
It just kinda baffles me that anyone would ever want to get back with an ex that does either of those things when ending a relationship let alone both. Reconciling with them for closure I can see but I just don’t see a relationship (whether platonic or romantic) happening without one or both parties just walking on eggshells around each other.
Which isn’t healthy for either of them.
Add to that Seven themselves just sounding exhausting to be around (their just a little too dramatic of a person for my tastes) and it’s just not for me even if I do enjoy a good second-chance lovers trope.
Other than that I do hope that when the flashbacks about the fight do happen, that the author gives us options towards how we feel about the band. Since currently it seems like, to me, the MC only stayed with the band afterwards because (regardless of MC’s feelings towards them since the vote/fight) they had no one else in their life at the time to turn to (emotionally neglectful/distant parents + zero mentions of any friends outside of the band/Seven) and Lucy being Seven’s mom means she’s out as an option to lean on (which is kinda sad since Lucy’s likely the only real parental figure MC had).
It’s also just odd to me that even though the MC is over what happened, they don’t have any lingering resentment/bitterness for their remaining band mates for how things shook out.

She said that G didn’t choose MC just to get into their pants. Not that G isn’t or couldn’t be attracted to them (and given that they’re an RO, it’s a given that yes, they are 100% capable of being attracted to MC, otherwise they wouldn’t be an RO).
Last I saw, this is an IF that does indeed feature romance options and sub-romance options. All those people would find the MC attractive on their own respective routes. It’s completely illogical to say that no one finds the MC attractive when there are characters in the story that can literally get romantically and sexually involved with them.
This is the Infamous thread. This is not a thread for The Night Market. Your grievances with another IF do not belong here.

oh, that’s… i don’t like that. i never understood why some people get mad at others for things like that. i asked if you’re fine, you said you were so i’m going to trust you and think that you’re fine…?
ugh. reminds me of people i’ve been with before lmao. i was trying to give seven a chance but i don’t think i can do it…
oh, well. i’ll just have to be the homewrecker, then… 
i feel like this was aimed at my comment and i have to say i hope i didn’t come across as an asshole in this post lmao bc i wasn’t trying to make any criticism towards the writing or even the character. when i said i don’t like that i meant it more as “oh, i don’t like it when people do that” than “grrr i hate that this character did this”. bc it actually feels in character for seven from what i know of them so i actually like that they did it. makes them feel like a real person. real enough that they remind me of my exes and that makes me want to not romance them lmao but i still like seven as a character.

I don’t want to be rude, because we all need a place for discussion and community and it’s great that this story brings up so much passion, but the way some of the complaints have been brought up here makes it hard for me to imagine the author wanting to engage in this space. Because it’s not all people asking for more clarity within the text or suggesting ways to broaden appeal, it’s people saying that they’re writing the story wrong and that their characters suck, which isn’t constructive and which doesn’t give them any idea of how they can improve anything. Very respectfully, "I don’t like this,” even worded very kindly, is not constructive criticism. I’d be super overwhelmed looking at this thread if I were the author, especially if this were my first foray into IF, so I don’t blame them for staying away.

I laughed a little from this but also got me wondering how many times the word has been said now. 
Feels like we summoning evil ghosts saying the word…

To me it feels super similar to the “Mc is a loser” phenomenon that happened on tumblr (iykyk). So while I think overall Infamous is very young in its development and most of the assumptions or concerns stated here will be less present in the future (especially when the competition and RO routes really get going), and even if I don’t personally share some of these concerns - I do think these topics seem to be a circular discussion around Infamous for whatever reason - so hopefully Amy at least finds that to be useful information because I’m pretty sure it’s not her intent.

MCs attractiveness was in the Shadow Realm all along.
