I am a straight male. I do not want to see anything sexual, or intimate, between 2 males. A game can have the gay tag, and if it is optional, I am fine with that, and will simply skip over that stuff. But, if I am led to believe it is optional, then find out it is NOT optional, I am well within my human rights to be a bit perturbed about it.
That said, I remember having options to skip certain content. The choices in this game made it fairly obvious what that would lead to. I was fine with it. And people make me laugh when they go to a game that is clearly tagged, then complain about those tags being honored in that game. Like, you knew it was gonna be that way. Why are you trying to complain that the game has those things? And I am referring to people who say "the dev needs to add what I like and remove what I don't like", when they showed up seeing the planned tags, and stayed to play the game.
Just go find a game that has your preferred tags and stop trying to change other games that other people may like.
