@Rep: "Okay, first off Aro, the brainwashing/corruption fetish has been part of MGE from the start. That's what monsterization is. So I don't know why you would think KC has a problem with that in his work."

If I can give my two cents here, I'd like to point out that the said brainwash/corruption fetish wasn't exactly what KC aimed for, not to that degree anyway. While it's clear that he himself finds it appealing, he probably never meant for it to be heavy or unsettling. This is something I realised after what Perentie said on the new Fallen Maiden game page:

"In my view the original Fallen Maidens book was sort of experimental by KC. He was looking to see how "extreme" he could go into indulging the corruption fetish while still keeping his setting true to itself. Given how quite a bit of effort has been put forth in subsequent settings books to downplay or reinterpret the hyperbole/extremes in Fallen Maidens makes me think he may have decided he went just a little too far in Fallen Maidens, or that the way he depicted things was too easy to misunderstand. It may be no coincidence that the next world guide is written by a monster like Saphirette, and that she puts quite a bit of emphasis on humans misunderstanding what monster life styles and lives in mamono realms are like."

So yeah, it's not quite "brainwashing", even if monstarisation is a thing (it's more like something liberating, rather than "corruption"). At least, that's how I see it. Also, if KC thought that gay and transgender mess with his setting, he shouldn't have tried to tackle it in the first place. Trying to appeal to absolutely EVERYONE isn't always a good idea...

@Aro: Maybe they adjust the same way like RL people who undergo those kind of changes ? (be it hormonal and/or surgical).
