Yeah as you can see by my signature she is my favorite character in the game as well. Not trying to defend the people that went overboard with the toxicity towards the dev because of Nea, but I can see how it can be a little frustrating to play the game if you're not into trans characters, since a lot of the early content focuses very heavily on her. But at the end of the day you always have the option of not playing the game and trying to find something that suits your tastes better. Now the game is in this limbo where no one wins because there are no updates.
I wouldn't say Nea is my favourite, but she's definitely great. I love most of the main cast and LIs in this.
Shame Luxee had to deal with dickheads. I'm weirdly wired so if a bunch of fuckwits harangued me to remove a character from my work, I'd either ignore them entirely or focus more specifically on that character just to spite them. Negative comments actually fuel my creative process more than positive ones. Lol.
For a group of supposed adults, this lot do love to behave like children a lot of the time. In the fanfic space, the most commonly repeated mantra is Don't Like, Don't Read. This game is tagged as containing trans content, I have heard that Luxee always said their next game was going to be about trans content, and yet people who hate trans content keep playing it and complaining.
Grow up ffs. Learn to read and accept the consequences of your decisions. If I seek out content I dislike and then find that I don't like it, I don't rag on the author for making it. I just go 'yep, that's why I don't like that' in my head and move on with my life. Unless a thing is improperly tagged to bait folks into playing it for the sake of shocking them with stuff they hate, the decision to play a thing is entirely on the player. Not the creator.
People should try taking responsibility for their own actions for a change. Even if Luxee was just milking folks like some occasionally claim, the answer to that is simple too. Just don't give them your money if you don't think it's worth it. You're supposed to be grown adults. If you can't be trusted to make sensible decisions with your money, that's your problem. The amount of fucking stupid in some of these game threads is just off the charts.
Read the tags, be a grown up and walk away from things you don't like. Don't 'slog' through coz they made something you liked before. Or because it contains something you do like and then bitch coz there wasn't enough of the good thing and too much of the bad. If it's tagged, it's your own fault. End of story.
