And I agree on that, the lack of clarity is unfortunate. I just disagree that the initial comment I responded to was contributing to any kind of active discussion, it just seemed to say "these fetishes are bad and ruin the game" which I'm well and truly tired of hearing. Its fine to have that opinion, and I see it shared quite frequently about some of the fetishes in this game. I think I was just tired of seeing it.Like I said before, there are different levels to "liking" and "disliking". Yes, if you severely dislike machine fucking then there's literally nothing for you in this game. But if you are kind kind of "meh" on the whole concept, but "fuck yeah" on the other things featured, then overall you can still end up enjoying the game (like I did).
But to make that decision if you want to play the game you still need to know that, because the tagging system isn't perfect: if a game has "machine fucking" tag, it doesn't mean that it features that exclusively, it just means it's featured. So, as much as the opening post was made in bad tone, etc., I still consider it contributing to the discussion (now, if that was the 2nd, or 3rd, and people piling on it, that would be another situation completely).
Even though I completely and totally understand the frustration of people complaining about a fetish in a game when that's the fetish you like the game for.
That being said, I do believe we have come full circle.
