It's a relatively old game, so I'll put up here a spoiler so to remove potential confusion:
DDLC is a __horror__ game that contains some gore, death, and self harm content, as well as small fourth wall breaking, disguised as a Japanese Visual Novel style soft/hard porn game. The entire game is a figurative jumpscare. Which makes it technically true to call it a "disturbing and shocking" game, but not as in """disturbing and shocking""" as in the euphemism for pornographic. It is technically correctly rated and marked as such. It just doesn't say viewer discretion of what kind is recommended.
And also: a lot of these Japanese pastel colored things, Visual Novel games included, are in fact not intended for kids, especially under 15. It's not like picture books for 6-12 year olds. Audience gender distribution is often closer to 50:50 than what many assumes.
- phendrenad2 7mo agoI'm intentionally not reading your post, but the "it's old so I can spoil it" is never an acceptable stance in a world where they keep making more people. The world doesn't begin and end with your experience.
- protocolture 7mo agoPeople are allowed to discuss things they have experienced. If those people make a special allowance for others to catch up and experience something recently released, all the better.
- catcowcostume 7mo agoNot spoiling something to others is a courtesy, not an obligation. People live by their own rules.

- ziml77 7mo agoHow can people ever discuss something in public fora if spoilers have to be eternally avoided? Keep in mind, people often disagree on what even crosses the line into being a spoiler.

- numpad0 7mo agoFrankly I would agree with you, but this is necessary in this instance. This creative disingenuity is also weaponizable. So sorry but not sorry.
