Good point malkavians are intended to be batshit insane and itd kind of kill the tone if they didnt go to extremes like that. Its fucked up but it has a good reason to be in the gameThat would completely destroy the point of the character. The fact that Therese believes that her father loved her and feels betrayed by Jeanette sleeping with him (despite Jeanette being HERSELF) is the blindside reveal of just exactly why Therese is a perfect Malkavian. She's not babbling about prophecies or breaking the fourth wall, she has a very relatable and tragic mental illness that causes her to view something horrifying as ultimately a good thing. Jeanette being a coping mechanism gone rogue explains why she's so upfront about their father being a piece of shit who raped them. It's a part of Therese that's trying to give her a (very nasty) wake up call about what her father was really like, or even what she was really like. Yes, it's absurd, but that's the point of being a Malkavian. If you changed it to be more "respectful", it wouldn't feel like VtM. Nothing about this setting is respectful or grounded. If the Therese subplot was completely grounded, it wouldn't exist, because it's completely inaccurate to DID.
Ill probably just play the first one instead then if they do tone it down to the point that it wrecks the atmosphere of it. Im hoping for a miracle to happen and for them to be smart enough to listen to what the fans of the first game wantThe actual good solution to this is to have multiple outfit choices available regardless of sex, ethnicity, clan allegiance etc. What they might do instead, like good little woketards, is remove or dramatically tone down any and all possible sexy outfit choices in the game entirely.
