With what part? I stand 100% by everything I have said. Especially considering the post quote quite literally called me out for not saying something I literally said. Like I get you dont want to the dev to quit after his manipulative "Ill quit unless people agree with me" but cmon.
Oh, I read. It's just the same tired bull you see everywhere. People say the same stuff whether it's in sex games, non-sex games, movies, etc. that they somehow are unable to enjoy something unless the characters look like them and presenting other characters is somehow "forcing" it onto them.
I literally play Black MC games. One of the first games I played on this site was Starship Inanna. And I literally NEVER said he couldnt choose to have a black MC. I have historically encouraged black MC games, literally. My issue Is him saying that everyone who skips his game because of it is racist. I guess all the black people thathave probably specifically searched for black MC's are racist too. You guys are bonkers, and ironically "seem to not be able to understand that there can be more than one way to think."Sorry, I read you. You seem to not be able to understand that there can be more than one way to think.
You, has a game creator, have the right and might to make your game however you see fit.
So does he.
And, he is also perfectly correct in defending his choice of a non-white MC. It is only a problem for people with a melanin aversion, like you. I couldn't care less what the MC skin color is, I am role playing. There is indeed extra value in being different.
Not for you. OK. What else do you expect anyone to tell you?
Conformity is fine and dandy, until it isn't, in this case, it isn't. If a player is unable to get over the fact that a MC in a fight game is of a specific skin color, but is able to self-insert as a young kid with a dick that reaches his knees, the problem obviously isn't the game but the player.
You not being able to accept it, is what's wrong. Sorry.
Peace
Whether or not you stand by what you said doesn't mean others can't disagree with you, you understand that, don't you?
Ok? Whys that the part of that you pick out?
So... we are bonkers because people that voice an objection to a game, using the argument that they don't like the skin color of the MC, are being IN FACT and BY DEFINITION being racist, is a problem, but you not being able to understand that defending their right to be racist, is NOT bonkers?
You realize that if you attach this argumeent to anything else it completely loses any meaning right? Do you not play protags that are trans? Transphobic. You dont play female MCs? Sexist. You happen to be Asian and perfer asian protags? Racist. Not to mention that at the end of the day this is fantasy.So... we are bonkers because people that voice an objection to a game, using the argument that they don't like the skin color of the MC, are being IN FACT and BY DEFINITION being racist, is a problem, but you not being able to understand that defending their right to be racist, is NOT bonkers?
Wait... am I nuts for thinking you are nuts? Or am I nuts because you are nuts? I am getting confused.
Being prejudiced and biased is NOT a defense. It is indeed an attack. And don't come at me with Sun-Tzu quotes...
Someone that chooses to not play this beautifully crafted, written and designed game, because there's too much melanin on the MC is NUTS. Defending them is even worse, because you should know better.

Disregarding you frequently drawing false equivalences of preference vs some kind of hard requirement that a MC be or not be X which is what the creator actually brought up, the answer to your question is probably...yes? If you were interested in a subject but then someone's race/sexuality/gender being some kind of hard no based solely on their inclusion then, yes that would fall under prejudice. There's clearly wiggle room there "How much do I expect a porn game to include a trans person and for it not to be gross somehow?" but that's not what you're talking about.
I play, all of those... Look I even play games with a fucking male protag, that is an abusive, dominant, sadistic jerk, because apparently that is how masculinity is painted on the VN world.
I also did not say "I'll quit if people don't agree with me." I did not mean for that to come across as a manipulation and enforcing people to agree with me. I'll leave THIS partciular community if the majority of people keep thinking with a primitive and outdated mindset, and feeling the need to make that clear to me. I don't believe in it, I don't agree with it, I don't support it, nor am I here to adhere to that ridiculous standard... and like I said, I simply don't belong if that's the case, and it's better for me to take my leave.
This is my last post here, and only since you are the dev. There is no "issue" here if you are just making a passion game. But you have repeatedly let people know that you cant invest more time into the game, because you are well tying how much how much time you can put into the game by how much money you are making. Which is fine. But once people have pointed out a way they think you could earn more you lash out. If you were calling the people that went out of the way to bash the MC's race, as if they were saying "Oh Black MC, I hate those im skipping this" it would be one thing. But instead anyone who makes a choice to not play your game over another one because that MC looks more like them is some disgusting racist who doesnt think "A human is a human,"and is mentally ill. Its incredibly insecure and demonises so many people that arent actually racist at all. I get it, you think you have a great game, you think you deserve more money. I agree. But lashing out like this 100% will only turn even more people away.
He has a point. I mean the fact is that non-whites have played as white characters for DECADES and still do to this day and many don't complain.
I agree the game is only kind of niche. It certainly is not the only game that has atheletic female love interests though. But the others that do exist are more shallow with less story from what I have seen.
