ngl i do find rewrites of double exposure vastly intriguing ( and want to do one myself ) but the moment people make a huge point of removing amanda and vinh as love interests i immediately lose steam lol. where’s your whimsy … every lis game has romance and max is not some sort of nun character, who is known for putting her feelings aside for the sake of a case. after all, while the world as she knows it is ending, max writes this in her journal about warren and chloe :

like!! she would kiss amanda and vinh!! she would!! max is impulsive and feels things for the people she cares for very, very strongly and i feel like erasing her canon love interests in a genuine rewrite of the game is sort of a null point. no, max wouldn’t think through the logistics of kissing two people while investigating the murder of her best friend. no, max wouldn’t abstain from indulging herself in something she genuinely wants just because she’s sad or busy. idk. double exposure desperately needs a rewrite but the second you write max as someone who’s ‘above’ love affairs i shake my head in disagreement. there’s a difference between including love interests and then allowing the player to have max not romance anyone versus forcing her and the player to not romance anyone at all.

#my posts.#this is not a vague or anything its just something i notice a lot and get irked by lol #you do not have to romance vinh OR amanda to begin with. you can friendzone both just like in every other lis game.#and in general i find it so weird that everyone and their mother says double exposure would be better without love interests #like i understand being burned about the breakup ( IF you get that ) but idk #the way people talk about max and having other love interests has always been very vicious #while people can accept that chloe can love multiple people and still love max #people have a hard time seeing max love multiple people and still be able to love chloe #i truly just get bad vibes from the insistence that max shouldn’t have love interests who aren’t chloe … like idk … i think she’s allowed?#i think max has every right to move on and that she’s allowed to mess around as she deems fit #what’s REALLY baffling is that neither amanda nor vinh are like. permanent.#both relationships with them are up in the air at the end of the game #you could have max kiss amanda and agree with her that they wouldn’t work #or have max kiss vinh and decide they shouldn’t pursue it for a similar reason #it isn’t like max becomes officially partnered to either romance option at the end of the game #she is still single? and there are still choices to be made?#idk idk. how people treat the existence of vinh and amanda bug me deeply.#and how people treat max having the nerve to be into anyone but chloe ( or warren ig? ) also bugs me deeply #let my girl live and let her be her disastrous bisexual self who kisses people impulsively at the WORST time bc. well. she wants to #anyway. yeah <3
