These are fictional characters. Anyone is free to express themselves in being entertained by them, one way or another.
Do we see moral condemnation for people playing fighting/warring/killing games as representative of their desires to shoot people up IRL? Only if you are a certain type of USA politician, but otherwise: No.
Do we see moral condemnation for people playing games depicting rape or mind control to be indicative of their desires to sexually assault or blackmail people IRL? Again, no.
I could rattle off a number of games and animations being discussed at this site where there are character depictions which are of questionable age, but because there is the air of plausible deniability for most it's not an issue from a policy standpoint and truly up to the player to decide. And again, it's not my business on a site which allows for fair and equal discussion of the games among people of all different interests, links to how they can be obtained, etc.
PL is an off-kilter game with sober glimmers of true reflection on our attitudes towards and for certain types of characters and otherwise pure fantasy. It has an irreverant Dev who is uniquely creative about what is being offered as a larger package instead of how much they can pour into a release. The Forbidden One patch was something they knew would get a rise out of some folks, while others would react in all sorts of ways otherwise. And, that's OK. But on this forum, I think we need to keep some things in mind about context of even being here.
IMHO:
Showing indignation towards others because of a fictional character's supposed type, orientation, age, capabilities, actions, etc. is unfairly judgmental and possibly kink-shaming. It's also not applicable since the game's discussion topic has been accepted by the Mods to continue based on their stated rationale under current policies: to each person their own desires to play or not.
Otherwise, take it up with the Mods offline.
