Viewing the tweet at first, there were dozens of congratulations from the writer's peers which were really nice to see but that happiness is getting blocked out by hate. Goodbye Volcano High is a branching narrative adventure game. Everyone is welcome to not like something and express that but how quickly it turns to shaming is disgusting. It is really sad though that her twitter is now protected and that the game is getting so much hate.

I'm wary of games like that in the first place (hello persona) and I'm afraid that another line could be crossed? I feel so confused. But it's set in high school and about love. I believe the writer has good intentions, and can bring a great voice in a game like this alongside others who can properly bring this game to life. I read more of the author's articles on the guardian/kotaku, and sure, some can come off as click baity 'hey look sex games' stuff, there is meaningful discussion in quite a few about sexuality (something I'm not comfortable reading/discussing) and queer games. A line was crossed, this isn't like her overwatch article with nsfw images of adult characters. It was basically a transcript of underage video game porn with no meaningful discussion/commentary and the inclusion of the images (thankfully removed) made it even worse. To get my thoughts out of the way, I think it was gross, immoral, and trashy. I'm feeling conflicted about my interest in the game after *that* article by the writer on kotaku was brought up.

Didn't know where else to put what I've been thinking, so here goes. Any information you publish in a comment, profile, work, or Content that you post or import onto AO3 including in summaries, notes and tags, will be accessible.
