I mean I don't want to see other male characters bone. If I am playing a game, I like to immerse into them which is why I mostly avoid Ntr/multiple protagonist games. I do agree with you that male characters are important but most developer doesn't know how to write them. They are either there to get cucked or cuck you. How many games here has a male characters that actually act like a friend/Derek. Also, I don't know what you mean by sexless or virgin shit? Most games li are full blown dumb sluts(who is for some reason become loyal after having sex with Mc or still remain a slut) and male characters as I said are either here to cuck you or get cucked lmfao.
Here are the contrasting values that create the male character genocide we see in most games.
1. You don't want to see other guys bone.
2. I assume you want the option of romantically pursuing any female on screen. IE. Most players don't like it, when a female character is NOT dateable. They HATE it when some other male character is or can date a non available female character.
3. Most players self project onto the MC, and so they want the MC to be successful, to have ag next and be the main driver of the plot. They don't want to feel challenged or threatened by another male (or even female) character.
There's more, but let's focus on these three.
Because you 'dont want to see other guys bone' and you want at least the option to choose any or every girl you see, this means the other male characters have nothing to do. I'm a mainstream game, if you saw two side characters being cute together, you.might root for them, or even try and help them get together. But in an AVN, most players are trying to gobble.up girls like it's Hungry Fucking Hippos. And since there's only so much screentime, male characters are often relegated to either antagonist or the MCs hype man.
As for dumb sluts turning into loyal girlfri nds for the MC, it's a symptom of the same problem.
It's not that the dev doesn't know how to write them, it's that player egos are so fucking fragile, they can't handle reality. It's a game, don't put so much of yourself into it. If Fuckface and Derek both tried to seduce Sage and she choose Derek, that wouldn't be NTR. Even if we saw them fuck, it wouldn't be NTR.
NTR is a very specific fetish, where the player is enjoying the humiliation and betrayal of being cheated on, usually by a superior man. It's getting off on being cucked.
Storytelling requires winners and losers. Good storytelling requires the MC to also both win and lose. In most games this simply never happens. Even in BaD, the only girls you lose are the ones you choose not to pursue. There are, at best a few temporary setbacks, like the Maya Josy twist.
This kind of handholding for sensitive players, means devs can't use the full range of storytelling.
So don't blame the devs. Blame yourself.
