Lemma Soft Forums

Except for when you have to deal with certain groups of people who go "we need more diverse characters, and you didn't do that with your story, for shame!" One thing to remember is that when people say that they want diversity, they actually mean that they want the illusion of diversity. ...

Well, I just got two of the endings ... and I had to laugh at how accurate the last part of this video is (spoilers):

A group of people on my college forum are trying to start an anti-trans hate group (like, as an official school club), and it sucks. Making posts, connecting with other trans folk on campus, making appeals to administration, but really wish that this wasn't even a thing we have to deal with. Especi...

Critics don't deserve to have their opinion shouted down just because it's not popular or not what the creator wants to hear. But at the same time, criticism shouldn't be viewed as some sacred art form that must never be questioned or opposed. I mean, let's just call it like it is: this was just a ...

second - even if it were true, what's odd about that? An awful lot of adults get involved in stories aimed at American kids (superhero comics) or British kids (Harry Potter). Except in those examples, a lot of the adults who read/watch those stories are people who either grew up with it, or missed ...

Quick note: I wrote this before papillion and philat posted, so some of these points might be repeated. This is a problem almost anywhere, but I think even more so in Japan, because of the cultural differences. Keep in mind, I'm not a sociologist, but I've been studying the culture a bit. At least c...

I apologize for my inability to communicate appropriately. I admit I was a little curt, but I was blinded by my feelings back then. For what it's worth, I have a loved one with PTSD, so I'm not unaware of its definition. In any case, I recently apologized for any hurt I caused anyone, and I hope I'...

(The nice thing about misguided helpfulness is that if you inform someone "Hey, that's not actually as helpful as you think it is", then it's likely that person, who was only trying to help in the first place, will feel glad that you've showed them how to be more helpful.) Except that Mad...

The thing is nobody claimed anyone was faking . I read "you're using that term inaccurately". Since PSTD is a psychological phenomenon and is defined a certain way in the books. But that's the point I was trying to make. If you read further down, you see the Mad Harlequin was the one usin...

How do you define "shut down"? I personally did not perceive that trooper6 had shut anyone down in the course of this discussion. In my opinion they were actually being quite reasonable and level-headed, even if I did not agree with everything they said. Moreover, they have added some goo...

As a non-JVN person who comes to what is now the EVN through Western traditions of Choose Your Own Adventure Novels, IF, and Adventure games, I often feel like this is not a place for me socially...one of the reasons why the board I participate in most frequently I'd the Ren'Py Questions thread des...

"This person likes simulation games, which I'm not a fan of. I probably won't make simulation games, so I probably won't work with them." I know that this is meant as an extreme example, but it perfectly illustrates what I'm talking about. If you choose who to work with based purely on ta...

I doubt very much that your opinion of my assessment will change upon hearing this, but I'm not saying the forum can't be primarily focused on one subject----as you say, we shouldn't let our differences distract from our purpose as a collective. But how are we to set them aside without discussion? ...

You've also said he's threatened you physically and tried to manipulate you into doing something you don't want to do, so I don't really understand where the "He treats me nice when he's sober" line is coming from. I have a friend with Bi-polar disorder, so I can see where JJupiterJump is...

I think you need a proper birthday song:




Don't you feel better now?
