I have been following this thread on and off and I am glad, that some people are being really level headed and do a good job putting down arguments advocating for people to chill out. I was surprised (well, I shouldn't have been) by how many people went crazy over the game having something they didn't like. There were some nuanced comments, but the angry ones were more emotional then ever.
I don't like fat chicks, shemale (and futa), vore, snuff, incest, shota, loli, etc., but I don't go out of my way to shit on that content. There are numerous games or comics focused on this content, but I ignore them. I hate it when someone takes my favourite female character and makes them into a guy with tits or has them killed and eaten, but I just ignore it and use a filter if possible so I can't see it. And no, I am not trying to say I am better or something, but I am trying to say what I think is the right way to approach this content.
I also edit incest dialogue in ren'py games, because it's super easy to edit ren'py games, so if you don't like something in the story, you can change it yourself.
If you don't like it, ignore it. It's not like the thing you dislike has been made focus of the game after several updates, when you were invested in it's development for some time. It's not like it "ruined" a thing you liked.
I don't play ntr games much, only if they have good art and I can name the protag as someone I don't like, so it's him who gets cucked.
And in this game, I was even willing to look past the "only BJ" option as a lesser evil, because it had a big emotional impact on the MC and his mom, but at the same time it wasn't full sex and she wasn't even sane during it. And at least the MC would get more reasons to fight back. The option where he takes a beating to protect her is a good option in my opinion. You should get knocked down first so it's more satisfying when you get up and fight back.
And it seems, that a lot of people want these games to be "safe spaces" (I don't mean it as an SJW rhetoric), because they self insert into the MC, which I understand, but some of them even don't want to be challenged in the game, so the MC would end up as a Marry Sue like some protag of an Isekai story. I agree that the good middle road is always make it that your actions influence the outcome in both the desired or undesired way. And it's even better if those actions aren't that black and white, so you can make mistakes.
And with that, I would like to end this news update, thank you for tuning in. To be further update on all things gaming news, reviews and discussions, stay tuned right here on Yongyea. See you guys next time.
