visual novel readers underestimate just how prevalent this perspective on visual novels is for people looking into the medium from the outside because it's not really niche anymore everyone knows what visual novel is but they think it's degen sloppily written anime pornography.

developing a theory that people who see the dress as white can't distinguish visual clues to compare to ordinary contextual information. this is like the "how would you have felt yesterday evening if you hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch yesterday" but for visual perception.
listen i know this is old news but i physically cannot force myself to see black and blue.i KNOW its black and blue, i've seen the pictures, but my brain wont let me see anything other than this

there is literally no everyday context in which this dress would appear as white and there's enough detail in the background of the photo to accurately presume the color of the dress as blue.

and honestly to some degree the market dominance of the eroge genre contributed to this outlook to the point where visual novels that have relatively no connection to sexual material still had to double down on adding the content regardless because they would sell better.

human brain does this intuitively on the unconscious level so if it's telling you white and gold it's not the issue of your eyes but rather the issue of your inability to link visuals to other visual models of daily things when put in the context of the lighting and background.

I want to write a VN one day about a guilt-ridden "rapist" exploring this exact emotional reasoning I think it would go hard I don't care about stupid people who are not able to think for themselves assuming something bad I'll even make the girl underage to hammer the point home.

the medium missed its window for creative innovation and started copying itself for the sake of making money from what it'd got or prolonging the sharply defined cultural appeal and now we are where we are with normies being aware of it but fully missing the point of the appeal.

on the other hand if you're able to switch between them in real time that might be a sign of creativity in a way since there exists a split in your unconscious you can control actively that's kinda cool.

it's not 2010 anymore where this format was buried underneath a mountain of inconveniences and niche fandoms and markets now if you ask your average zoomer if they know what a visual novel is even if they're not sure their mind will most likely wander to Nekopara or similar works.

and I'm not talking about specific visual novels giving the medium a bad name here it's more of a branding problem where if you were to ask that person to name one visual novel they wouldn't be able to do it because their perception of the medium is based on preconceived notions.

I have no idea how to solve this but I would very much like the them to overcome this since visual novels aren't a genre they are a storytelling medium capable of encompassing a vast range of genres and styles and it's so tragic seeing them be limited by such stupid problems.

people's over-sensitivity to fictional rape when compared to murder or betrayal or infidelity is astounding because it's somehow the one line you don't cross despite the fact murder is worse.

manu legit has 3 gimmicks and some people still find a reason to hold a grudge like I get everything is meta-ironic on the internet in 2024 so you can't tell who's genuinely a bad person but he's *easy difficulty* when it comes to that distinction.

I want more people to be a part of the medium for the medium itself not for the individual stories or franchises themselves because I love reading and I love art and I love the way visual novels intertwine all storytelling techniques together.

the guy is correct, but when I say Higurashi and Umineko should at least be mentioned in schools when it comes to their genre-defining interactive stylistic expression you all take a complete piss out of me and meme me constantly and I take offense to that.

there are a couple of legends who go out into the world seeking visual novels from 2024 with 7 downloads on itch-io but the vast majority of visual novel fans are going to keep posting Subahibi memes, buying new Muv-Luv releases, and thinking about Umineko for the next 20 years.

visual novels aren't dying but they are stagnating because their technical fundamentals and style both solidified too early in their cultural development, remained constrained by market pressure, and trained their audience to seek only that which it had become.

if you don't care about this topic and are just a fan and enjoy them that's fine but if you're one of those gatekeepers who are actively muddying the waters and are celebrating the current mood surrounding the medium both in the west and in the east I don't understand your views.

I have a theory that the original was a unique person and the revival was someone impersonating them for the meme but maybe I'm too schizo.
depending on how much time you spend on this platform, this image can cause a variety of emotions

meanwhile the normies who would love these stories if they were given a chance to engage with them get pushed away by the image this medium has cultivated over the decades and the only people who could change that laugh saying filtered to themselves.

the public image of the medium outside of the core audience is absolutely crucial for quality and growth of the community and the way things look now with the east turning over to gachas and the west stuck in the paddling pool of complacency makes me feel incredibly anxious.

the medium isn't going to die anytime soon but if it does fade out one day this is why it's because none of us care enough about the image we project onto others and we still think the medium is hidden away in some dark corner of the internet and we dissociate from *that* image.

I watched Pyro's video on Darkwood and I recognized OSTs from Saya no Uta, Subahibi and Muv-Luv and I was like yeah they are slowly creeping their way into the collective perception of our popular culture I know it's anecdotal but it definitely feels they are getting more popular
Idk if this is just because of the circles I'm in but I do feel like VNs are slowly becoming more popular. Not "popular" in the grand scheme of things but in this specific side of the internet at least.

I kinda dislike today's environment where you can't even have thoughts like "I wish I was born a girl so that I could date my best friend" without being labeled trans in denial because thoughts like that are perfectly normal for everyone but now it means that everyone is trans.

it's that most people in 2025 are a bit oversensitive to his moral failings and annoying qualities - the family is full of dysfunctional, toxic and manipulative people even the cousins are horrible if you paint them in that light so there's nothing special about him in particular.

I'm not into loli shit personally but every single time I see someone use this type of argument it reminds me of the time boomers were trying to get GTA banned 20 years ago because you killed people in it and it was fun so they were like "it's making children develop psychopathy".
all lolicon arguments:. "They're fictional." ok but what about them is attractive to you."Real kids are being hurt elsewhere." Bringing up a bigger problem does not negate the initial problem. "It's not illegal." Neither is dying, try that one out pedo.

@harlandman 110% you're like the first person to comment who gets it I'm not against eroge I'm actually a fan but the fact people confuse the terms eroge (genre) with visual novels (medium) and treat them interchangeably breeds this kind of thinking in an isolated community.

it's crazy how my point is that visual novels have "brand image" that's actively undermining the medium in the eyes of potential newcomers which is detrimental to pretty much everything and people come at me like "if these newcomers can't get over that they don't deserve VNs".
visual novel readers underestimate just how prevalent this perspective on visual novels is for people looking into the medium from the outside because it's not really niche anymore everyone knows what visual novel is but they think it's degen sloppily written anime pornography.

@Artyom189 the format/medium should absolutely change not to suit the opinions of outsiders but rather to show the most appealing core characteristics in a way that's not obstructive to potential newcomers to the medium that's my point.

"but at what point does it become real if he keeps doing it he's toxic to the culture" you must be one of those not real people who think lolicon is akin to pedophilia or that joking about rape means you're specifically making fun of real people who actually got raped.

@MondayNyquil it is somewhat reductive but that's basically what happened eroge are the roots of the medium in a lot of aspects because the first dating sims and similar erotica were really really good that's why they captivated so many people and companies turned it into a defining feature.

fun fact the psychopath murder/torturer was a real person (all of them are) and he introduced me to CLANNAD the visual novel in 2016 and said it's amazing but he also murdered his own mother with a shovel after she threatened to give him to up to the police in the 90s.
I feel kinda insecure about my own writing because most visual novels have like cute girls as characters whereas I'm writing a story about a demon that haunts a soviet captain partisan/deserter, a little girl dying from pulmonary edema, a psychopath murder/torturer. .

one of my absolute favorite things about life is that you can just attribute meaning and significance to any-fucking-thing you want and have your life be worthwhile if you do it correctly. each day I think about visual novels more than all three things you've mentioned combined.
If we remove sex, children, and jobs, you discover that this existence is largely meaningless.
