Wow. A lot happened. I'll put a summary at the top, since many people don't read long posts:

Since all our assertions have been denied, we're obviously misunderstanding what Swedane has tried to say. I don't think he's saying he doesn't want the system present in the game, just that he doesn't want to have to use it to complete all the tasks in the game. (Puzzles, achievements, awards, etc.)

What am I arguing about? I simply perceived Swedane to be saying that allowing players to use genetics to try and get the 'perfect' villager is harmful to self-esteem, in the same way fashion magazines, which portray only stick-thin models, (Or well-built, in a man's case) can be harmful to a normally-proportioned healthy person's self esteem. I assumed this because he agreed with Kitten who said that she thought Swedane was talking about the "pressure in real life to look perfect".

Since Swedane is disagreeing with everything asserting that he felt this way, I can only assume I'm mistaken, and I apologize, although I assure you Swedane that your comments were misleading, if that's not what you were trying to say. I admit to feeling a little irked. I think that not being able to understand what you're trying to say is the reason that everybody's assuming you're saying something that you apparently are not.

I apologize to Kitten and others who feel that it's being crammed down their throats; I had intended to wrap up my argument after the last post, only a little less than 24 hours ago, but it seems like other people have ideas of their own to propound.

To make it clear, Swedane apparently wasn't saying what I thought he was saying - and wasn't saying what others think he was saying. (I haven't read all of those arguments, since it seems like a waste of time when he's already denied their accuracy) So there isn't a discussion to be had here.

I think in the end, Swedane is only saying that he doesn't like to be controlling with his villagers, hence why he wouldn't like genetics being a part of VV4; I assume that he means that he doesn't want genetics being a part of the Puzzles, Awards, or Accomplishments, since that would force him to utilize genetics, and be controlling, to achieve them all, and force him to play a way he doesn't like to play.
