played Mouthwashing and loved it, don't think I have anything that insightful to say about it though. I will say, however, that the fan reaction to it is incredibly disappointing to me. Like do whatever you want I'm not your dad, but I find it a little contemptable that a game clearly about sexual assault and gendered violence is being completely eclipsed by fucking yaoi posting. There's so much to discuss and explore about Jimmy and Curly (and Anya!), but I guess that's just too boring when you can hallucinate toxic yaoi!!! (BUZZWORD!! BUZZWORD!!). It's kind of incredible how Jimmy seems to just.. forget or brush aside the violence he's inflicted upon Anya in favor of obsessing over Curly, and a majority of fans seem to be eager to do the same!

#we love misogyny #I jest somewhat over the ''hallucinate yaoi'' part cuz I'm not saying it's unreasonable to read into Jimmy's obsession as being a lil gay #but that's kind of the thing isnt it? heterosexual misogynistic men DO obsess over other men #because men are more human to them. more worthy of their attention and obsession #to wrong your fellow man is unforgivable. to harm a woman? par for the course #it's notable that Jimmy's gameplay segments only show guilt for Curly and Daisuke and Swansea #THEY get to exist in his nightmares. Anya? barely present. only their unwanted child exists as a monster to ruin JIMMY'S life #whatever... maybe I'll make a longer post later (lying)#mouthwashing #saturn.txt #mouthwashing spoilers #also whatever i know Daisuke doesn't directly feature in the gameplay segments #but you see his pink flowers frequently. and his shrine in the ''no turning back'' segment #Jimmy mourns him but not Anya
