>>5920338>PLAYING FOR BLEEDpic related is an interesting excerpt from Vampire The Masquerade, a section on Playing For Bleed, ie creating a character familiar and similar to yourself, in order to facilitate emotional transference from player to character and vice versa, and also the opposite (ie creating an unrelatable unsympathetic foreign character, to minimalise or recalibrate emotional feedback). I found this section very intriguing (and no, after watching Woman King or Titane I do not feel the need to perform emasculating blood rituals or nasal disfigurement gender change antics hehe). I always wondered if 4chan quests default to a cartoonish style because this places a greater emotional distance (the cartoonish barricade of appearances, say) between the emotions of the author, the players and the dramatic game characters, hehe
