The voice actor of character - Alexander Gross - speaking now on Twitter and in an interview about how he collects as a private individual for the villain role several hate messages **.

What is the shutter button for the shitstorm?

The players and fans of Boyfriend Dungeon criticize the developers that the game has a insufficient trigger warning for the sensitive topic of Stalking. Even if the developers of Kitfox Games have now improved, the criticism does not stop.

The associated shitstorm has now even accepted pretty ugly-to-shape dimensions. So far that the synchronizer spokesman of the role of the main villain is attacked as a private person . Although he only embodies a role in the game, or has been credited.

So on Twitter, he addresses exactly such players:

_ Hey, I can not believe that I have to say that extra, but please do not send me hate messages to my character in Boyfriend Dungeon. I know he's shit, but I'm just his sync spokesman. Please be respectful. _

In an interview, he reveals some details about the content of this hate messages , one of them is: It throws a bad light on you, that you are representing a character that does such things. (Source: Kotaku)

Gross does not understand this missing differentiation between him as a synchronizer speaker and the role as villain. He finds that Eric is a really terrible person, but the representation in a video game is by no means wrong.

Some fans even want the figure to be deselected in addition to the trigger warning optionally from players , so that they no longer occur in the story.

Whether the developers get involved in this setting remains open.

Opinion of Mandy Strive:

It's really unfortunate to see that members of the gaming community transgress the bounds of good taste and attack Creative behind the video games with hostility.

It should be easy to distinguish between the synchronizer behind the figure and the villain in the game. The presentation of a problematic figure within a video game is, as in other media, too - be it film, play or book - completely legitimate and does not mean that the makers share the setting of the figure.

That video games may now be understood as art and culture, individual individuals of the community must probably still learn. This also includes, if desired, to allow the unsightly, real sides into video games. And this can also be a dangerous stalker.

Fans of the Dating Sim Boyfriend Dungeon Wohlen the synchronizer Alexander Gross for his role as villain with hate news. Inadequate trigger warnings for his problematic figure were the trigger. On Twitter he gives himself heard and asks to stop this hate wave.
