The Red String Theory, a belief from East Asian mythology, believes that people who are destined to be present in each other’s lives are connected by a red string, and life will bring them to meet again despite time, circumstance, or distance. Some people call it a coincidence and say that the world is small, but one can’t help but think that we’re all connected.
I have posted on the Red Thread of Fate before in this forum thread. EK has never directly said it was the case to my knowledge. I don't even know if it's a community consensus, because we so rarely discuss the title or the Red thread theory.
Just replayed the prologue, and yes the idea of fate is hinted at, but nothing specific towards the red thread of fate.
I can definitely see it being a thread that ties the characters and stories together in a skein that becomes the warp and weft of their lives in this 6+ month period of their lives. The connection to a particular East-Asian mythos when there is only one character that seems of Asian descent in the whole game, and he's a random club rat and minor character from GGGB, seems like a stretch, or a weird choice.
Oh, that's kind of cool. Multi-faceted interpretations make it a bit more interesting to me. I'm still leaning towards lust or passion, especially since there are lust points in game, but a sort of fated lust Gordian Knot fits the story very well, with how many playthroughs and combinations are possible.
I think you're putting a little too much emphasis on it Asian origin, no offense. I wouldn't necessarily call it appropriation either. When I made that post originally, I was pulling specifically from my knowledge base and experiences, but obviously it can be applied to many cultures and languages based on other members responses.
Fated Bondage, Seductive Shibari, Kinky Kismet, Sensual Serendipity, Fornication by Fate...
Ah, fair enough. I was just pushing back against the impression (incorrect, it seems) that ORS = Red Fated Thread was the answer to the title mystery, which felt like a stretch without more evidence. But, the general conclusion that this is a crucial and perhaps/likely fated time in the protagonists lives seems likely.
String, thread, fabric, weaving, etc. relative to fate and destiny are common themes or metaphors in literature, sayings, expressions across many different cultures.
ah ok,simple curiousity u play only ntr/nts games or others type too? I saw blurpee on many ntr/nts threads
No. You've seen me on other corruption threads. That NTR / NTS happen to be the primary form of corruption for most games is purely coincidence. I couldn't care either way about NTR.
Only type of red string theory I NEED.
