floral 10 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) The Seven stages of Eroge Visual Novels and Hentai Games for so called moral people who have too much time on their hands and/or need to get laid. Stage 1: Disgust You are disgusted by these things and those that play them Stage 2: Campaigning against them You try to get people you know and possibly the community to stop doing these perverted things and condemn it Stage 3: Seeing them You try these things, playing through one to understand it's hold on people so you can better attack it. Stage 4: Corruption A part of you likes what you have participated in and so the seed of corruption is planted Stage 5: Struggling You struggle against the corruption and deny that you like this perversion Stage 6: Fall You have fallen to the forces that are stronger than you. Stage 7: Congratulations You are now one of us, congratulations. Welcome to our family. Edited December 2, 2013 by floral Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pramit 22 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 "moral people" aka "close minded people". Unfortunately, most would never get to stage 3. Too dogmatic with their views, they will never try the new thing unless they are pestered by close friends or companions. These people don't see the world through their views, their views is the world itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exsilon 15 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 My exprienced was straight to the stage 4 and skiped the stage5 to 6 directly but nice explanation about how people fallen into the pit of VN/eroge world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
someguy withaname 10 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Most never get past the first stage unfortunately. There are a lot of stereotypes out there and many just go along with them instead of finding out for themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
udizzle 11 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I use to be a stage one years ago but being a fan of anime i eventually wanted to dive further into the rabbit hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
switch 13 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I CALL NOOB. as an advanced elite fapper i will add extra stages as i feel the OP has not gone through these stages yet.example members are in brackets. stage 8 : reversion --- you revert back to a normal person as you find VNs boring and fall sleep after reading more than 2-3 lines on a computer. (ivan) stage 9- re-inoculation --- you read a VN once in a while, like a pigeon that takes a taste out of cow dung to see if it tastes like it smells (ultimecea) stage 10- total recall -- you now get absorbed back into the VN dimension , alas real life does not allow you to do that,but you still lurk here an tither (exilson ) stage 11 - mesmerization -- you are now dissolved in anime again as well as VNs... (yachi) stage 12 - rude awakening -- real life sucks you back out ,aaaaaaaand its monday...time to work like a bumble bee. (switch, nobu, avenger ..a.k.a the three sages of mount.troll) now these stages are NOT linear but more like a dynamic relationship in which you can go through each stage more than once Quote Link to post Share on other sites
