I heard the infamous counter scene has been finally rewritten but don't know if it's true and what the scene is like now. I started a replay but stopped at Chapter 2 I think... it would take some time to get there.

This is where I read it. The whole thread is interesting as it deals with behaviour of some characters which is considered to be okay by some players but disturbing by others... https://www.reddit.com/r/Choices/comments/hd6lxt/rant_about_pb_and_the_fandoms_love_for_creeps/

No, I haven't finished re-reading OH1 to see. As for the reddit article... well, I've usually chalked it up to the "trend" that after a certain point in the stories, premium options/scenes with love interests are of a romantic nature - so you give allowances for the LI to touch MC. My first "shocking" experience with it was in AME1. I bought the post-runway scenes to try to boost Ally scores. I only romanced Handsome Stranger at that moment, so all I wanted from the others (Ivy, Beautiful Contestant, Derek, and Zeke) were +points. But all of a sudden, the choices were only to kiss/hug and I had to choose hug by default. So it felt weird to me when the characters are acting like my MC had been romancing them from the beginning when my MC wasn't. So for OH1, that infamous Ethan scene - that's what I figured it was. Scenes that felt out-of-character for me was the opportunities for Rafael hook-ups which didn't mesh with the getting-to-know-each-other relationship (and also post-surgery... really?). And in TRM, when you have to make a decision on which LI you want (and can't go the single route), right after - if you choose Crown Shield - he/she is rather aggressive in affections.

So with TNA Robin - him/her wanting MC to remove her shirt? I figured it was half-joking/half-flirting and not really serious. Robin is already set-up as a playboy/playgirl and no matter how professional you play MC, she is destined to have feelings for Sam (even if I fight it). So I don't really understand the Reddit poster's complaint? Sam touches MC and that's allowed? or is it that only Robin isn't allowed? I'm just confused now. And I'm one of the weird fandom players - I don't hate Best Man nor do I hate Nate.
