She is the one responsible. Of course, a woman could never relate to anyone here. She would never be with a truly depressed person. Can someone mail her a rant or a link to this thread? God I hate this c***.
All females are sluts and have no right to be depressed. They can just go out onto the street, lie down with their hole open and have any man come and solve all their problems. But they would still not be depressed because they’re all stupid whores.
The whole “game” is without substance and is nothing more than an exercise in attention whoring. This is clear because the game is about a controversial subject and took no skill to make. Feel free to contact the author here *link* and tell her what you think of the game.
