Consent questions and sexy queer ladies

Review: Ladykiller in a Bind

Ladykiller in a Bind is a fantastically written visual novel about queer romance and consent dynamics... which fails to ever address its most core discussion of romantic and sexual consent. It's a tale written in such a way that, as a queer trans woman, felt relevant, engaging and sexy for me, but simultaneously never addressed one of my biggest questions about its own central conceit.

(SPOILER WARNING) I mentioned on Twitter that I felt like I was just digging a deeper hole for myself in the game. That was me referring to how I still hadn't told [name redacted] that I wasn't my brother, and my suspicion level combined with that I (correctly) figured I couldn't afford spending another night on a reset made it impossible to fix that. I definitely agree that there was a lost opportunity, but for me personally the situation was salvaged by a conversation towards the end where I got to ask why she loved me, and (although she didn't know that herself) her answer could basically be read as "because of who you are (and your brother isn't)". So, yeah, a lost opportunity, but not something that ruined my enjoyment of the story. :)
