If I might add my piece to the conversation, I'm fine with muddy waters/messed up topics like shota or whatever being included in the game for narrative purposes. It is an underexplored area and if it serves to make the narrative a bit darker I am all for it.
I'm not a fan of the sexual aspect, but if that is a part of the piece serving the narrative I'll put up with it. I won't like it but that would be intended.
Above all, a good story along with good characters, with the game carrying a relatively dark(er) theme is what gets my attention. And I don't mean dark as in overuse of gore or rape. I mean dark as in spending most of the time showing consequences of rape on a broken lady, for example. I won't get off on it, but I like such narratives that add darker pieces. I don't need to enjoy it for it to be good.
