The blocked off character is also femdom though, and arguably heavier femdom than Natalie, so someone having to "sit through" Natalie's femdom route probably isn't even going to like Ayla anyways.
While personally I think the whole point of making a game sandbox is that you should be able to pick and choose who to interact with so I do agree that the two characters should be separated on principle, I don't think most of the people complaining about it actually know what Ayla's content is. They just see content they're not getting and get mad even if it's not something they want in the first place.
Agreed when it comes to Ayla, but apparently Yuka is also locked behind Nat’s Femdom path now, and the criticisms are valid there.
yandere and femdom can overlap, sure, but not necessarily
The only femdom-y thing that happens is that you
get fucked by surprise and choked out, which is a universe different from the humiliation baby shit you deal with for DomNat and Ayla. Nat even acts more like her sub self in those Yuka scenes.
further, Yuka has a pretty majorly significant backstory to the MC, being his childhood friend/promise stuff, she’s not like the other kinda disconnected side characters. To lock that seemingly important backstory/character dynamic behind Femdom Nat is misguided imo.
