The Stories of the Boys I Loved (Prologue) - Trigger Warning

So, I'll first just give a list of these trigger warnings, without too much detail. Then, I'll give a more precise account of what to expect from the demo (and of the demo only; the final game will have more things to consider). Please remember that the game is PG-13 and therefore never gets too extreme in the following topics.

 

LIST:

  • Fetishisation of gay relationships
  • Internalised homophobia
  • Teenagers' sexual fantasies
  • Depiction of anxiety

 

I/ FETISHISATION OF GAY RELATIONSHIPS

The main character is fan of the yaoi genre and this has led her to have a distorted vision of MxM relationships, which she considers "better" than straight relationships. For instance, she decides to set up her gay best friend with any possibly queer boy she meets that fulfills a yaoi trope or suggests she likes for the sole reason it is "out of the norm". This subject starts being adressed in the demo, but the full game is going to explore the topic more deeply.

 

II/ INTERNALISED HOMOPHOBIA

One of the characters is homosexual and explicitly says he doesn't want to be gay and wants to feel "normal".

 

III/ TEENAGERS' SEXUAL FANTASIES

One of the characters describes his attraction to men and suggests the things he would like to do with them. The main character is shown being aroused by such a description in a comedic way.

 

IV/ DEPICTION OF ANXIETY

One of the characters is shown having an anxiety attack. Another explains that real-life dating causes him anxiety.
