Care to elucidate on that, Dex? I'm not sure what you mean or what you're referring to.
No double standard here, Brainer - Like I said - the rapey element of it wasn't, on its own, the problem. The problem was how the game handled your character after it, forcing interpretations onto you and telling you how you felt about it. The game can force anything it wants on my character, if it deems it appropriate, but it does not get to tell me how I feel about those violations; that is the thing that made it less than acceptable. There is no double standard - yes, I had to use the tadpole to impress upon a goblin the mental sense that I was to be obeyed when it was otherwise not inclined to do so... but that did not come with a helping of me telling the game that the goblin enjoyed being brain-raped by me. I didn't tell the goblin that it liked it, and force the goblin to agree that it did.
I've not played the post-release content that replaced the daisy system yet, and I can't comment on it - I was talking only about what was wrong with the Daisy system we were first presented with, and the problem was the game intruding on our right to define how we felt about certain things, at a personal character level; they could even have intimated that we had those feelings of joy and love and euphoria, coming off the encounter, as long as it was made clear that those were external feelings coming over us from an external source, that we could define for ourselves, in the now, afterwards, how welcome or unwelcome they were... at least, that was the primary problem I personally had with it... Because personally, I don't have a single character who, if she asks a stranger a question about who they are, and they respond by invading her personal space and touching her intimately... and who, if she then tells to leave her alone and not touch her, responds be enacting even closer physical contact, and further intimate touches... is ever going to come away from that and go "Yeah, that was hot and I was super tempted by the hotness and allure of it"... but that is what the game forced us to do. I would not have had a problem with the Daisy system at all (at least as much as we saw of it at least), if I'd been able to come away from that and say "No, that was uncomfortable and I didn't like it." We couldn't.
