I'm glad that Katawa Shoujo managed to shake the negative stigma it once had. It's honestly pretty all right, and in an age where most western VNs try to be ironic weeb garbage it's nice to be reminded that sometimes OELVNs can be made with some genuine passion behind them.

You know what? I can do this too. I'll go outside wearing boxers with no pants and respond to all complaints with: "Those aren't underpants. Just really short shorts. It's the new fashion trend, didn't you know?"
>>19761Man, those bloomers in that gym uniform are really this short. It's like the bloomers get progressively shorter on every consecutive photo.
What is underwear anymore?
>>19778damn
it do b like that
also play everlasting summer if you haven't yet bros
>>19795The fact that anime idolizes school days annoys me quite a bit. Especially since not everyone had a good experience in school. Especially since schools are indoctrination facilities
that resemble prisons.The school system is a mistake, just the tool of the ruling regime to uphold its power and keep people in check. I'm much more interested in Japanese dellinquents than in good students (should have been a dellinquent myself but was too much of a cuck).

I'm not autistic but sometimes it's hard for me to understand others. Like putting myself into others' shoes. For me being apathetic and nihilistic comes out naturally and I don't try to seek comfort in wish fulfillment or religion or whatever the fuck. I just do not understand meatbags.
>>19803People who had a bad time in school like to live vicariously a good school time through fiction. That's also beacuse school is romantised but in reality the true nature of the schooling system is what
>>19797 said.
>>19813>in reality the true nature of the schooling system is what >>19797 saidThat's my own post, LMAO! 🤣
Anyway, that was exactly my point. The schooling system is akin to a prison as Foucault has pointed out yet people long for it nonetheless, SMH. Perhaps it is a kind of a Stockholm syndrome. Or perhaps they are lonely people who only had friends and love interests at school and so they look back at that time with rose-colored glasses since they don't even get that anymore. Which really says a lot about the society we live in.
>>19749BTW, what are these girls' disabilities? And what's the legless girl's name? She looks cute.
>>19818From top to down, left to right:
Rin - girl at top - armless
Shizune - glasses girl - deaf
Emi - bloomers girl - legless
Hanako - reading girl - burn victim
Lily - blond girl - blind
Hisao - protagonist boy - heart problems
They go to this special school because they need constant medical attention.
>>19819>Emi - bloomers girl It is her official name from now on.
>Hanako - reading girl - burn victimShe's WHAT? Wait… Wait, WTF, TWO-FACE!

But seriously, no need to actively seek love, that's just making love your sacred cause which is akin to religion. Love will come when you will need it. If you don't need it then don't fill your brain with it, be like Taoist monks. Every feeling comes and goes. You live a life and then you die.
Just saying this because so many young lads are pressured into finding love because SOCIETY SAYS SO, AND THAT MEANS IT'S IMPORTANT.
>>19778There is
https://vndb.org/v11854 which is very very reminiscent of Katawa Shoujo, the plot twist is that disabilities are swapped with mental disorders.
>>19821Here:
