>>25249809I don't get the Nate hate.
He's got a distinct and creative design that manages to be plenty practical. His jacket is cool, and his wetsuit serves the same purpose Rosa's bikini underneath does, plus it looks stylish with his short-sleeved jacket and shorts that would leave too much bareness otherwise. And I like outfits with some black in them, complements the blues nicely. My only complaint is his hat looks kinda stupid, but the shape it gives his hair is charming and unique.
And I like big messy hair. Altogether, he's a cute kid, Hilbert and Calem by contrast just look boring and more mature. And not so much to look like a faggot or anything.
Is it just more difficult to self-insert as him or something, for others? That would be a fair enough reason I guess. Anyway, it must be saying something that he was the first male character I chose in any games with a choice, for three years before it came out and ever since. Rosa's cute, but her outfit's tacky, her tights and bikini as underwear are the only good things about it.
