JUST SOME WARNINGS, I GUESS.
In lieu of a DNI, I'll just say some basic stuff I do.
-I block extremely liberally. I unfollow liberally. No hard feelings if I block someone over something trivial, I just like to curate my online experience lol.
-I play 18+ games, so I really prefer if people who aren't 18+ (or, I guess, 16+ or 17+ depending on the country/state) following my account.
-I'm politically very left-wing.
-I don't give a shit about stupid online discourse (you know what I'm talking about). With all sincerity, please just block each other. It's that easy.
-I really like Persona 4. I also really, really like sweet pool.
-im a fudanshi who likes BL media lol
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLAY SWEET POOLit's scary gay porn tho so only if you're an adult
although if youre minor i guess you can play the censored release if you want
WHATS SWEET POOL?Sweet Pool (usually stylized in all undercase, so like sweet pool) is a 2008 BL erotic-horror visual novel released by Nitro+Chiral and written by Fuchii Kabura, the third in their classic line-up. It's a story about body horror, primal fear, omegaverse, meat parasites, and Gay Catholic Schools. To quote the official website; "it's not romance, it's not even love. It's something much much deeper...."It has been officially translated by JAST Blue. The uncensored version can be purchased on their official website. But if you wanna buy it without the sex scenes (which, to be fair, are gross), it's also on Steam and GOG. If you're crazy, it was also ported to PS Vita -- although as far as I'm aware, this remains untranslated. However, if you do purchase the censored release, you can purchase a patch that adds the sex scenes back in. Capitalism is awesome.There's also an official stage play and a manga, as well as a novel adaption from Tetsuo's POV. If you're into that kind of thing, I guess.SO... WHAT'S SWEET POOL ACTUALLY ABOUT?Without spoiling anything, sweet pool is the story of Sakiyama Youji-- a young man who's finally returning to his catholic school after having been stuck in the hospital for a year. However, he begins having strange changes in his body, and finds himself entangled in a grotesque story with his classmates Shironuma Tetsuo, Mita Makoto, and upperclassman Okinaga Zenya.
SWEET POOL TRIGGER WARNINGS
Unfortunately, as much as I love sweet pool, it does have a ton of content warnings that kind of makes it impossible to recommend people. Feel free to try it out, but main trigger warnings:
-Omegaverse
-Stalking
-Cannibalism
-Body Horror
-The main protagonist spends a lot of screentime "birthing" meat (again, similar to a period).
-Several rape/sexual assault scenes
-Cult / religious fanaticism
-Discussions of child abuse
-In one of the endings, the main character becomes a sex slave
-Speaking of endings, there are no happy endings. sweet pool is a tragedy first and foremost.
-this is the most minuscule trigger warning but there's like. one named female character. technically two if you wanna consider the iguana. sorry women
I'd recommend taking this test if you're at all interested.
