[TheAnimeMan]

I draw your attention to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_words_for_love

and especially:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philia

and also challenge your concept of 'friend-zone' as an outdated concept that implies that Dusa in some way loves you less because she doesn't want to suck your ♥♥♥♥.

I have a deep fear that this will turn into a flame thread, but I seriously and sincerely do recommend reading up on the greek concepts of love because they're very different in some ways from the modern meaning of the word.

Yeah, See also - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality

Maybe take some of her preferences into account too, instead of being so entitled.

Its almost like the whole subplot is a commentary on just such a topic...

I cringed at OP's post, then was completely floored by the next two responses.

Let's take for a moment and assume that OP ISN'T being silly. He's basically saying he loved this character, and wanted to marry her (in the game mechanic). But she rejected his advances lorewise.

OP never implied that Dusa loved him less. He implied that Dusa did not have romantic feelings for zag, which is the subplot.

Being romantically attracted to someone, and being sad when rejected, is not entitlement. It actually happens all the time. It makes sense to be sad, when someone doesn't like you back.



God, I can't believe I responded to this thread.

Those two first responses are exactly why the modern Internet feels like a garbage pile. On fire. While ducks are flying overhead and dropping hot ones onto it.

They're basically Twitter SJWs

[Halcyon]

What we have here...is a failure to communicate xD

It's a real shame too, there was some potential for this thread to be something. I would have preferred to actually discuss this topic and maybe get some new insight into how people feel about the choice to highlight an asexual character as a romantic interest but I see we've decided on the dumpster fire route instead.

Well you could have just offered a brief explanation for how Dusa still loves you, without needing to boil the topic's intention down to "Dusa won't suck me, therefore she doesn't love me." That was unnecessary and uncalled for. Also, since when has being Friend-zoned been exclusively about "failure to sleep with someone"? Being friend-zoned, as a concept, simply means you weren't able to romance someone. And just for clarification's sake, I also think the concept of friend-zoning is stupid, but again, it was totally uncalled for to just boil this topic down to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

It's current year, can't have an obviously facetious post without the agents of conformity chastising the poster for wrongthink

Libtards even here.......... Please don't plague this community. I thought OP was funny. Especially the Orpheus part.
