Are there any people who hate lesbian sex?

I am making games with female protagonists. If I can, I am usually trying to provide an option to avoid sex with men because I am aware a lot of players might not enjoy being pushed into it. I have to spend extra resources but I believe it is worth it to make my games more accessible. But what about sex with women? Should I be careful too or is lesbian sex a universal kink that does not offend anybody? (Or such a small minority it is not worthy to care?)

It's not worthy to care.

Not because it's a minority (I don't know and don't care), but because it's your game. What it will contain, and what will possibly be optional, should come from the story, not for the expected taste of expected players.
Basing your game on the taste of the public never is a way to succeed, and is one of the fastest way to fail.

Let's say that you have a majority who say that it need to be optional. Then you'll have to pass twice more time working on your game because of this, having to write two versions of each scene in order to keep the story coherent. And all this because some peoples, who will perhaps never play your game, asked you to do so ?
Make the game the way you want it to be. If it's a good one, it will have some success, whatever if lesbian scenes are optional or not. And if it's not a good one, the fact to make the lesbian scenes optional will change absolutely nothing to this.

If your game has female protagonist and scenes with males are optional, that would be a lesbian focused game isn't it?
If you put avoidable lesbian scenes too, you are making a porn game with optional porn content
Unless you are adding other kinks like bestiality of course xD

The premise of making a game via avoiding triggering anyone seems a bad one. Do what you want and pick an audience that sorta matches what you're into.

Lesbian sex is only good when it emulates straight sex with power dynamics.

There is no "universally accepted" kink. Every single fetish/kink has people who love it and people who hate it. There are 7 billion people on the planet and at least 1 of them will hate something that the rest loves. It's just the way it goes. Don't aim to please everyone, cause it is - and always will be - impossible.

As the saying goes, "If you try to please everybody, you'll end up pleasing nobody."

Make what you want to make, include what interests you, and exclude what you have no interest or tolerance for, and if some don't like that, it's their problem, not yours. This is the best way you can develop something because if you spend all of your time worrying about if you're going to offend a potential audience or a wider audience you'll burn yourself out very quickly because you're going to end up worrying about every permutation of "will they/won't they like it."

To bring it to your question:
There's 100% going to be people who love lesbian sex, and there's 100% going to be people who hate it, then you also didn't consider that there's people who 100% don't hate it, but also see it as a waste of time/resources.

For me, when i played your "I Was Enslaved by an Evil Witch..." game, i avoided all sex with men so lesbian content would be preferred in that context. I wasn't a fan of "Fake AI" though so i can't say anything about that one.

I have enjoyed both "... Evil Witch ..." and AI
Please do what you think is best - it's worked well so far
I suspect whatever you do some people will be offended

Right here, I find girl on girl scenes to be so out of place and to break the immersion in the game. POV is almost always the best way to go.

It all depends. Lesbian and bi sexual is not the same. So if you have a true gay/lesbian couple then that is one part of your game and if you have girls that are bi sexual that is another part as i see it.

As some have said make what you want to make. Kinks you like. If you want ot make lots of money with your game then tread carefully its not a kink many like. IF you want to make something for yourself then do what you want to do.

I've seen female players asking for games that don't show the female MC (much) during sex scenes and would rather see more of the male partners, so safe to say lesbian sex is not universally liked.

I don't hate it but I find it boring most of the times. I wouldn't skip it if I had the chance though, maybe just read a little faster.

Never ever seen someone who hates it, it can be boring after a while tho. Tbh lesbian sex seems to be universally not hated, It's gay (male to male) stuff which seems to be more universally, "Controversial" shall we say.

I don't care as long as it's interesting. And that's the problem, most "gay" (which includes lez) only games aren't interesting and this coming from a woman that prefers women. Most of these types of games read like they're written by a 13 year old boy or girl who has no experience with anything. To be completely fair though, most of the games on here are like that with a few exceptions.

...one option is to never show the Main Character on screen and have the gender be chosen at the start of the game...
But that's a big part of the appeal in Dahakma's games--seeing the representation of your character. Taking that out would mean alienating the current fanbase. The Dynamic Avatar Drawer that Dahakma uses is integral to those games.

Girl on girl is definitely not universally liked. I would suggest going the POV route instead.
