Yep. Was apart of one such argument at one point. The person was legitimately saying that sort of thing. They even said that the person's ex, who they were no longer was in a relationship with was ntring them because they had sex with someone else when they were no longer a couple and had broken up.

It also helps set the mood right off the gate for what people should expect from the game.
And also to filter some people that wouldn't like the game anyway, cuz if you don't get the meaning of that joke, then you probably wouldn't enjoy most of the game.

What these devs think they're doing giving girls agency and a life outside of being the protagonist's cocksleeves, right?
Preposterous!

Honestly, it's not hard to understand at all. Just picture a scenario in real life: You're dating this girl you really like, and she tells you she'd fuck a trans person (or anyone she finds interesting for that matter) if given the chance (while still dating you). I don't know you personally, but it's safe to say the vast majority of men would have issue with this. The though counts, even if the action is not actually done.
I think the issue here is much more about "sharing" and "NTR" than "futa". A lot of creators tend to forget a lot of people get invested in these characters (some waaaaay more than they should), and they don't wanna see the version of the characters they have in their head to be destroyed.
If you're hell bent on adding this content, I'd advise not involving any of the main girls, and doing it with a minor side character. Even so, there will be backlash. Involve any of the main girls, and there will be a shitshow, optional content or not. If you are fine dealing with that, its your call

Right...
What I don't understand then is what's hard to understand in "It'll only happen if you toggle this option on, otherwise it won't even be mentioned."
Think of it as "parallel universes". In one universe the option to have sex with the futanari character is activated and in the other it isn't.
You live in the universe where this option is turned off, why would you care what happens in the other universe?
Also, if like you said, people get invested in these characters way more than they should, than that's their problem.
I shouldn't change what I have in mind for my game just to please someone that invested way too much of their affection into fictional characters.
Besides, when you try to please someone, you end up pleasing nobody.
I'm already doing a lot by making everything completely optional.
There are some lines I won't cross though, mostly because they're stuff I don't like myself, like NTR, any kind of dom stuff or y'know, the very fringe stuff.
Meanwhile, I'll keep going with my original vision of the game and, if people don't like it, I'm sure they'll find other games they can invest their affection into.

He is.
Presently watching "Fringe" on binge and Leo's character would get along well with Dark Spock. And that's another example of entertainment involving an alternate universe.

You should look it up again, the Avast Free Antivirus moved this program in quarantine because of trojan issues. I deleted it immediately.

It can go beyond parallel universes. Even fully isolated realities can taint each other (heh... taint). For some, if a dev has ever included NTR in a game, all their work is ruined.
I got into a debate with a guy who didn't like a game because the NTR option was there. When I talked him into a corner about his self-loathing over his game choices, his final rebuttal was that the devs' previous game had contained slightly difficult-to-avoid NTR, so they are cuck game devs and all their games would always be cuck games.

Did Avast find a trojan or did it just not have a wide enough install base for Avast to deem it safe?

Some people are very vocal about stuff like that.
As a dev it gets very annoying after a while.
Especially if you're developing a harem game.
The best option is to make everything optional. Even make sex optional. And definitely don't include any handholding. That's too lewd even for a porn game.
If only it was possible, but let me assure you: no dev around these parts forgets the worrying degree in which some people self-insert themselves into the story and then claim entitlement over it.
The thing is, readers do not have ownership over a story. It's a relationship between an author and his audience, with the developer's role being to create and present a story on its own terms and the reader's job being to decide if that story is worth their time and interest. Constructive feedback is golden, but there is a difference in telling a developer that the elements in the story are poorly conveyed vs trying to dictate what those elements are.
Fiction beautifully offers a healthy outlet for escapism, but the moment you start worrying about being "cucked" in quantum universes, I would start thinking that I'm seeking something a porn game can't provide.
