> my overall nitpickiness comes from trying to validate it beyond preference
So do you not get how presumptuous and tone-deaf that is, or..?
> because in the end, it was preference over validity
Ho-ly fuck. Asked and answered.
You know, I read OP's original post and her replies again and I don't see someone being unclear about her intentions at all. In fact, what I see is someone very politely making it clear what they want:
Quoting from her second post(http://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/66429.html?thread=207687037#cmt207687037)
>As for the rest, personally I don't have issues with noncon in general as a kink, but I'd like it to have a game vibe where characters feel safe on the sexual end of things because the only threat is the monsters.
>The game would be meant more for the latter [Characters who would leave if they thought drugs and/or coercion were involved]. If some characters don't fit, there are fortunately other options of sex games out there with different setups. Right now, though, there don't seem to be many cuddle/consent-based games with sources of conflict.

That's really fucking upfront, unless you're the type of person who mistakes manners for weaknesses that can be used to wheedle and argue your way into getting what you're after.
Oh, and for fun, you wrote: >outside of that, it was mostly just pointing out that you can do what you want, but there's already a consensual game all about consent that's available. that you can play kinks in. just not dubcon/noncon. which is what this is shaping up to be and that's why i pointed it out.
From the same post I linked, from OP:
>instead of using aphros I'd have it be like Eudio
But thanks for pointing out the obvious. As for what this game was "shaping up to be", go read the premise again, with a bit less of a boner for what you want it to be instead of what it is. Here, I'll even help you, from the OP:
>tl;dr summary
- a fantasy (science fantasy?) consent-based game with lots of SOL and a little conflict, where characters fight the occasional monster attack with their emoooshuns.
