Agreed.Summer in the City dealt with this in a simple way, one of the earliest choices (if not the first choice) is whether Summer is bi or lesbian. You still have choices for both routes, but you avoid all male/female non friendship options if you pick lesbian. Never have to consider it again.
________________
Now, I may be wrong, but, it feels like we are having a conversation about 2 different things.
1- Lesbian as a Life Style.
2- Lesbian as a Fetish.
On the #1 option, there really is not much room for males. Sure they can be present in the world, but, whether they are aroused or even paying attention is irrelevant. Should NOT even be part of the decisions. To be honest the "Eww No" approach is the only one that makes any sense.
On the #2, well, the MC is Straight. Sure, it will court with females as a kink, but nothing Romantic. I wouldn't even classify it as Bi. While it can be deemed so technically, it wouldn't be emotionally. The difference is the same as "To BE" and "To DO". The Lesbian part of this would be performative, like an act or a role play.
I may be reading too much into the words of the Dev, but, that's what feels that he's aiming to, this game is not a Life Style, but a Fetishism.
From his words, it feels like the FMC is more enamored of what she feels, than by whom she gets the feels from. The risk taking, the exposure, is what drives her. In a way, this is more about sensuality then sexuality. This is more about feeling, than doing. She's not BEING lesbian, but, DOING lesbian things.
________________
This leads ME, to conclude that unless this changes from Doing to Being, my interest is almost gone. While the Life Style play really gets me going, the Role Play doesn't, at all.
YMMV.
Peace
