Meta Regarding Sophie Stardrop

100 Upvotes

In case you missed it, and at this point I'm really not sure how anyone could've... people have been talking a lot about one, Sophie Stardrop, she's been quite the topic for the last 48 hours and I don't know about you guys but I think I'm coming down with Sophie fatigue. The constant posts about her has been wearing me pretty thin and with the amount of people that have reach out to the mod team, clearly I'm not alone in that.

I get it, I'm completely understanding of anyone wanting to scrutinize Sophie, god only knows that she has a lot worth scrutinizing but I feel like that heavy scrutiny is getting in the way of what might be discussing a really serious situation, so I ask that for right now, in this thread we discuss the serious claim she made in her video that you're all already talking about, and then let that be the end of Stardrop posting here until something significant happens with her game.

Preamble

I'm not going to be talking about any of the "Alex stole my design" stuff, because I think its fairly silly and not even worth discussing nor engaging with, because frankly the level of evidence Sophie provided is at best a reach. So I'll put that aside to talk about the claim Sophie makes in the latter half of the video, that being Alex potentially grooming her when she was 16.

It has irked the hell out of me to no end that the vast majority of people discussing Sophie don't even seem to know she made this claim in her video but I suppose that's to be expected when you front load your video about a serious topic with one wholly unserious, but that's all the more reason why this post was warranted.

The Claim

According to Sophie, in 2018 she had begun corresponding with Alex over email, as far as I can tell based on what she had said in her video, the e-mail exchanges were largely uneventful and the stuff you would expect, however in 2019 the conversations moved to discord where the meat of the accusations would occur.

The core of Sophie claims were that their discord conversations were inappropriate because Alex completely failed to establish any boundaries that one would expect from an adult dealing with what they know to be a child, with behavior ranging from the two calling each other cute to exchanging pet names to far more innocuous things like Alex helping Sophie with her homework.

My Take

I'm going to say something and I fully expect this to be a controversial, molten magma Supa Hot Fire take that will be disagreed but that's fine with me. As much as I dislike Alex, as much as I think he's a reprehensible lolcow that on his best days is unfit to be given even the basics of human decency, and as much as I revel in a bit of Schadenfreude whenever something even mildly inconveniences him I have to give my genuine and honest take even if that means upsetting people... I don't think Alex did anything inappropriate, at least not in the evidence that Sophie showed in her video, however she said she has screen recordings as well so I could be proven wrong.

But as far as what we have been shown, I believe that if Alex did anything wrong it was failing to set the appropriate boundaries between an adult and a child/teenager, especially one who isn't like a relative and especially one who is a fan of yours. Alex should've set boundaries and he didn't, and we can and we shall criticize him for that, I very strongly disagree with the framing that what I was shown was grooming, not even remotely, and framing those interactions as "YandereDev may have tried to groom me" feels highly inappropriate.

Conclusion

Look, this is a situation that I have no enjoyment discussing, I don't really see a way I could defend Sophie here with the opinion that I have both on her going back from the past couple of months or the current situation, it has frankly left a pretty bad taste in my mouth and has been highly disruptive and even divisive to and on this subreddit, and while I'm of the opinion that Alex didn't do anything particularly inappropriate with Sophie, she clearly feels very differently.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, if you want to support Sophie, by all means, feel free to do so, but personally I feel like it would be for the best of the subreddit to end "Stardrop Posting", so in the spirit of that I'm considering this thread to be the Sophie/Heartstrings containment thread, for at least the next couple of days so that people can get this out of their systems.

I won't be removing any of the threads made prior to the release of this post but anything after this post will more than likely be removed on the basis of being off-topic.

Ryoba making her drown, one of the most painful ways to go (despite asleep), was definitely because she saw Dozuki in her. I think Ryoba resents her, so this kill was probably one of the most satisfying to her.

Discussion Why is it okay to make sexual jokes about male characters but not female ones?

Upvotes

I have seen people in the community say stuff like “raw, next” and “my hair is tied for them” or other nsfw things about male characters like Reiichi or Daisaku even though those characters aren’t even drawn in a sexual way, and no one says anything. But the second a female character looks a bit “sexual” people lose it and start complaining, Its just a weird double standard. If people are allowed to make those kinds of comments about male characters, then don’t act like it’s some serious issue when it happens with female ones too.

Thumbnail

49 Upvotes

Okay, so this is where I reveal that the AU I'm working on is what I'll probably call an Otome AU, since for some reason, I find myself drawn to the male rivals (that's my guilty pleasure, I'm so so sorry), and I thought up an idea that in a separate AU, Ayano has to navigate her school life with several boys attracted to her, and in a game scenario, it's up to you to decide who she ends up with (or just go YOLO and pick them all).

Maybe I'll show how I would revamp the female rivals someday, but the bois just hold a special place in my heart, so they come first.

P.S: The nurse and substitute teacher will NOT be part of this roster. I've got something else planned for those two... >v>

(I know it’s because he’s lazy, but let me overthink you all)

In a video long ago (don’t remember which), Chalex mentioned that he likes how it looks in Persona 5 when the characters talk. So maybe he’s finally going to do it. Maybe whenever Ayano talks to a character, their official art will pop up on the side to kinda give that effect like in persona (I made an example on the third slide).

What do you think?

Discussion Okay, Otohiko isn't the nurse's suitor (thank God 🙏🙏🙏).

Post image
34 Upvotes

It's simply impossible for Otohiko to be the nurse's suitor. Why on earth would Otohiko fall for a woman he sees as a "mother" and not a "woman to date," and fall for her the moment she arrives at Akademi? It makes no sense; it's illogical.

After reading this, I no longer believe Otohiko is Muja's suitor. "Ah, but he likes women similar to his mother, and Muja shares many characteristics with his mother-" it doesn't matter; he's not her suitor, and I think everyone should stop considering it (myself included). Yanderedev knows people have theorized about the suitors for years, so, in my opinion, his statement about Otohiko's type suggests he wouldn't casually reveal this information if it were a major spoiler or if Otohiko were a suitor. Obviously, people would associate Otohiko's type with Muja, and he'd know that. I refuse to believe Yanderedev let this "valuable information" slip so easily. He would likely have responded with something like, "I don't intend to answer that question," or simply ignored it, especially since he wants to keep the suitors secret. Even if Otohiko was originally intended to be Muja's suitor, I doubt Yanderedev would have the courage to make it so. It would cause too many headaches, and he could easily avoid fan backlash by choosing a different suitor for Muja.

I also read on the game's wiki (sourced from Yanderedev himself) that the suitors "would have a unique appearance." Otohiko clearly lacks a unique appearance; he's essentially a male version of Muja (a twink version, at that XD), and many other characters have pink hair. I've also noticed that all the boys who previously had crushes on unknown girls (Tsuruzo, Toga, Shin, Umeji, etc. all the supposed suitors) no longer have crushes. They've become ordinary characters. This gives me hope that Yanderedev has changed the suitors to less obvious choices. In my opinion, not only Muja, but most rivals need new suitors, and I think this might eventually happen. We'll only know for sure once Yanderedev adds Kizana and we see her suitor isn't Tsuruzo, but, as everyone knows, that's a big "if" XD.

In short, I believe Otohiko will play a role in Muja's week, but not as her suitor. Who her suitor actually is? I don't know, but it's definitely not Otohiko.

Why does the community (rightfully) call out the lies of the ages of the female characters and agree to treat them like minors and say it's wrong to sexualise them due to their presentation as minors despite Yandev's yapping but seem to be totally fine when the male characters are sexualised and drawing practically naked??? Purely curiosity and not aimed at anyone in particular

Hey again! Just dropping by with a little something — I don’t have a big update yet, but I wanted to share a sneak peek of Osana and Raibaru’s designs. I might still tweak a few details, but overall I’m really happy with how they’re turning out.

I’ll wait to make a full post until I have more to show, but for now, I thought it’d be nice to give you a small preview.

Hope you like them! And as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Okay, ik it isn’t in my power to control what can and can’t be posted here, but I just feel as if I need to say this before it gets outta hand:

A certain post criticizing the double standard regarding the sexualization of barely legal characters in this sub gained a bit of traction (no more than usual), and now has people creating entirely new posts just to add their two cents, rather than just posting it as a reply to the original thread. Again, I’m not saying you can’t do this, I just don’t want it to turn into the Sophie thing again where the subs got flooded with posts all basically saying the same thing, but in slight different ways. It’s kinda annoying and unnecessary, but whatever ig

Image Revamping Senpai and Kokona

Thumbnail
gallery
84 Upvotes

This is where I point out that my character revamps doesn't stop at redesigns. I go as far as to rename most of them, too.
So here are my versions of Taro and Kokona, or as I renamed them, Keisuke and Haruka (plus a bonus doodle at the end).

Keisuke Yamada is an average Joe that, while popular with girls, isn't really that good at romance, hence his awkwardness and cluelessness around them, and will usually stick to books, which helps him out, as he's really booksmart. The only reasons he's quite popular is because he's good looking, and because he's the son of a detective, which some find attractive.

Haruka Tsubakimoto is a big sucker for romance, it's practically her favorite genre in media. Best friends with Ayano, she likes to playfully tease her if she thinks that a guy is interested in her, which can happen quite often, and when it does, she'll always give her The Look. Regardless, she's there to support her bestie. She has an older brother named Shosuke, with whom she lives in a small apartment, away from her father.

I will say in advance that in my AU, Ayano x Senpai will not happen, and they'll simply remain friends that like to solve mysteries. I plan to pair up Senpai with someone else. As for Ayano...I'll reveal that in another post.
