Awe :( Idk why Emily doesn't realize Clint likes her :( I'd like to see Clint be a potential spouse in a future update just because of the whole Clint likes emily thing :(

Don't, he had his chance. Just because one person likes another doesn't mean it's always going to be reciprocated. I might be biased though because I think Clint treats her more like an object to possess rather than actually be in a meaningful relationship. He needs to worry about himself first.

Wow. Where on Earth are you getting that from? There's NOTHING in the game to suggest this.

He's just shy and burning a candle for her from afar. It's not a sin to have a crush that you're scared to act on.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that part, but there ARE a few things in his heart events as well as Emily's and just the occasional comments he makes in general that goes beyond just being too shy for me, it's putting a person on a pedestal to the point that they're not people anymore rather than an idea you fancy. One of the things for me that pipe up as a red flag is I cannot stand pity party 'woe is me' types, but to completely answer your question the scene in particular that really pushed me into this line of thinking was at the very end of Emily's 8 heart event where even if you're not pursuing a relationship with Emily, Clint specifically says "Congrats, [Player]" which is a wild assumption on its own but also implies that there was even some weird contest in his head to begin with, with Emily as the prize, and continues to brood and wallow in his own insecurities comparing himself to you, the player. At the end of the day, he just seems like someone who would complain about being friend zoned and I know way too many people like that in real life bordering on inceldom so yeah, as I said in my first post, I might be a bit biased but still think there's no reason as to why anyone should feel bad if they pursue a relationship with Emily because Clint's more concerned with getting a girlfriend rather than correcting who he is as a person.

That makes me feel better.

I know I'm not alone in thinking the way I do but I do have my reasons. All of that said though I don't think Clint is a bad person at all, he just has his priorities all jumbled up and it's also possible that Emily just isn't into him like that. I know a few women who act as though they're oblivious to men hitting on them but only because it's easier to ignore it and hope they get the picture because outright rejecting them can sometimes get nasty or simply ruin friendships.

[yea]

he'll live

Personally, I'd love to see some alternative content based on who you do or do not give bouquets to.

Specifically: I'd like the default "heart" events to be more platonic in nature, or for there to be versions of them that were less "flirty" and more platonic even if the basic stuff in them remained the same.

The more "romantic" content should only be presented (to the player) if you've specifically chosen to give a bouquet to that individual (bachelor and/or bachelorette).

As for Clint: He specifically should have different content if the player has chosen to date Emily.


Basically, the entire Clint/Emily thing is a legacy issue, because Emily (and Shane) were not originally datable characters.

Well he shouldn't have put his prices up then should he?
I'll just take the girl he fancies.

Plus he made his bed the moment he got me to give her gifts on his behalf.

Zero sympathy as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed. I think the whole incel phenomenon has made it so people can't recognize the difference between a genuinely dangerous, resentful creep and someone who's just a shy soul who's awkward and not experienced enough to have the confidence necessary to pursue a real relationship.

Again, I can't understand the hate rationale for something as human as unrequited love. If he was stalking her, threatening the competition (you), or exhibiting other kinds of dangerous behaviors, I'd understand, but ... he just doesn't. I can buy finding him pathetic, even if that is a cruel angle to paint the situation from ... but not assuming he sees Emily as an OBJECT like a misogynist.
