[[quoteblock]]The only difference I'm seeing is: in one instance (the grunt), we at least know there's an attraction along with the invite.[[/quoteblock]]

This example is meaningless here. I don't know why you keep insisting on it.

[[quoteblock]]So Lara Nara inviting Rook up to his room after hours, while laying on the innuendo THICK, wasn't him being forward? Especially given Rook's choice of responses usually amounts to: 'not happening'.[[/quoteblock]]

[[quoteblock]]Lavvi outright tells Rook that she and Erio are both in love with him/her during \"the Definian Love\" side mission, and says she isn\'t giving up on Rook.[[/quoteblock]]

Layva and Erio are blatant TransgenderFetishization stereotypes. Don\'t count.

[[quoteblock]]Alexa\'s second affinity mission reveals Mika is in love with Camber. By the end of Alexa\'s third affinity mission, Mika finally tells him (offscreen) and they hook up.[[/quoteblock]]

\'\'Offscreen\'\'. And AFTER apparently a long time of CannotSpitItOut. Again, proving the point.

[[quoteblock]]And since when is flirting not being forward? Because it\'s a clear sign of attraction.[[/quoteblock]]

Because \"flirting\" has lots of levels of blatancy, from dropping a handkerchief, to inviting someone in for \"Hot Coffee\". But all of it is designed to be indirect or use euphemisms. And in Mia\'s case, it was on the very subtle end of the scale. My opinion is that Irina asking male Rook out for a drink is the very, VERY subtle end of the scale.

[[quoteblock]]... I really don\'t get how The \"I Love You\" Stigma even remotely applies here or to Japanese media in particular. I was just kinda overlooking that sinkhole.[[/quoteblock]]

The trope, as written, doesn\'t apply here. I was merely making a comment on Japanese culture in general. Remember that how \'\'we\'\' write a trope and how the trope is used OUTSIDE of this site are not always the same thing.
