Rewrite - Akane Senri Route & Character Discussion

I liked the Akane route a lot as a whole, but a certain part of it made me really sick to my stomach.

It was at the point when the survivors of humanity had finished evacuating into the city of stone and began to settle in. I wholeheartedly hate everything that happened starting from that point, except for the moment when Shimako spoke. That one thing really gave me the feels.

Anyway, I had the feeling that Tanaka was worming his way into my head, trying to push his opinions and ideals onto the reader, filling a game with things that did not belong there.
Things like what kind of government an advanced society should have, that capital punishment is wrong, etc.

But the most unforgivable thing was what Tanaka did to Yoshino. I have mentioned it on a different topic:

Sure, Yoshino’s “lone wolf” chuunibyou was pretty childish, but what I always respected about him was that he stayed true to his ideals at all times, always kept using his own head, never succumbing to the hivemind, no matter who or what he would have to oppose. He was an individual through and through. But Tanaka destroyed all of it, calling it “growing up”.

I talked to Aspi about it shortly after joining Kaza and I believe I’ve discussed it with some other members as well, but I’m not sure if it was on the forums or the chat.
