Eji1700 Link ParentSo caveat here is it's not quite a visual novel and I haven't finished it so I don't know how romancy it can be, but Citizen Sleeper might be worth a lookAlso, anyone have any recommendations for non-romance visual novels

That said I'd say it's similar enough that if you liked synapse you'll probably like TBW. As always I do recommend watching some gameplay footage from an actual person to help you figure that out.

The last time I looked at this kind of data it required a ton of combining from different sources to even get close to something like this.
Supposedly the 2016 study has done their own survey on such a thing, but the fact they don't actually appear to provide the results anywhere makes me suspect (i'd expect it to be paywalled but I can't even find that).
Unfortunately I do not have the time to do such a deep dive these days, as it's a hell of a lot more than just some engine searches.
To be clear I'm not saying i'm 100% right here. It's very possible the 2016 data sheds much better light on the subject and should be referenced, but without being able to dive into that, and with the only other alternative being a very lengthy dive into multiple census sources, I can't do much else.

No i did not. I engaged with someone else who responded and agreed with them because they also find this kind of hyperbolic rhetoric to be pointless.
The end of it is to try and stop people from sounding like trump supporters talking about the woke left or every other pointlessly hyperbolic rabble rousing statement.

If you want to vent, fine. If you actually want to achieve stopping what you obviously see as extreme evil, then find a better way to message because shit like this not only won't work, but will actively harm your cause.

Especially when you basically linked to it twice as two seperate references.
Not that I think you're trying to mislead me, but I do think that when there's only one poorly defined study being cited all over the place, things are often less accurate than one might hope. I'm extremely hesitant when you can't just look at the underlying data, which ought to be published somewhere but I can't seem to find anything but this infographic.

This is the same group that published the 2016 report, which seems to fly in the face of a lot of what I saw when I was last looking into this in the 04-10 era, but I'm also having a hell of a time finding any details on their report, just the summary.
I suspect part of this is because violent crime is a VERY wide net and the difference between abuse victim and someone who was robbed is pretty large when you get to actual desires. I can't find any details though to confirm what they're looking at or where they got it from, which makes me suspicious.

Domestic abuse victims absolutely prefer their abusers be in jail, as is the case is almost all violent crime.
It's a little weirder for crimes like this where yes, that judge probably isn't going to sell the same kid into prison twice, but even then yes generally victims have a vision of "What's fair" for the crime that was committed against them and are upset should they be released "early".

It can't possibly look good. This was not a project that started as "what can we make in the star trek universe". It, like many projects of its (suspected) caliber, started as "we've got an action movie script, what IP can we drape over it"
While I think it's a good one, I'm pretty sure it and Stein's Gate fall pretty heavily into "romance". Its not JUST romance, but I'd certainly say that it might cross the line the OP is looking at.
