someone on here was talking about they aren’t sure if cookie9 and the other reviews are real, but in my scramble to log into steam on my phone, i lost the post
BUT: all the reviews are REAL, the devs just changed the names.
and here it is! it’s the top negative review on steam!
cookie9 is a real account, but i think they’re chinese and never played tsp lol
along with the unfunny review, which has been edited!
please continue to leave notes and comments in the reblogs or replies they really make my day!!
Anyhow there’s more. Again.
I feel like SAWTOWNE’s “Confessions of a Rotten Girl” is so good partially because of how it makes even people who may dislike fujoshis sympathize with Miku, and it’s interesting that it’s not actually done by painting her as “one of the good ones”. Everything that’s despised about fujoshi culture, Miku explicitly is portrayed as doing.
Disliking female characters on the basis of them “getting in the way” (and being quite misogynistic about it to boot), sexualizing and shipping men in real life (the men portrayed in the song are her teachers), and even the yaoi paddle known for being used to sexually harass cosplayers…
… all these aspects are there. Hell, one of the most disliked part about fujoshi culture from a social justice standpoint — the language of describing queer relationships as “sinful” — is the whole basis behind the song.
However, SAWTOWNE, instead of lessening that toxic trait, “yes, and”s it. “Yes, she calls queer relationships sinful, as a (presumably) heterosexual woman who finds their relationship gratifying. AND, the reason she does that is because she is a sexually repressed Christian who feels guilty about having any sexual desire whatsoever.”
I think that one (very clever!) addendum makes it so any discomforting aspects to the song takes a backseat. Instead of being a song about trying to resist an interest in yaoi / The Gays specifically, it more so becomes a song about trying to resist any “abnormal” sexual desires, which makes it very easy to like this version of Miku, even as someone who very much dislikes the aspects of fujoshi culture she represents.
Plus we need more gooner girl rep anyway, lol. (As a comment on the video said: close enough! Welcome back Plus Boy!)
Mmmmmmghh, Phoenix is so fearful and burned by romance... Phoenix scared to trust his judgment in romantic partners... so flustered at the mere insinuation that he's interested in someone... Phoenix, whose only known relationship was with someone who tried to murder him, then framed him for another murder... Phoenix, who doesn't want to try again... Phoenix, who can't trust those he loves with his body, mind, and soul...
Feenie was your poison. You pour Feenie in a little glass bottle and keep him close to your chest. This time, you won't be showing it around to everybody you meet. You won't be showing it to anyone anymore...
Graggh.... More stuff where Phoenix is scared over dating Miles... Phoenix’s trust him seemingly drops the moment they get into a relationship, he is SO antsy over him in his presence. And Miles understands, but damn it really hurts because he wasn't this skittish when they were just friends. But he can see how hard Phoenix is trying...
