I dunno, I refuse to believe there's that many people desiring ntr, and they don't want to write male characters even though there has to be at least as many people asking for a male husbando as there are "I would really like a scene where cait gets banged while she uses me as a bed, squashes me unsexily and headbutts me with the back of her head repeatedly"
(No offense to fleep I just mean the polls and popularity seem fishy)
I don't trust the polls either, as the devs are pretty abusive of critics or opinions they don't agree with. So, if you scare off all the people who are into male x female content or other types of content you can't really say the whole player base only want horse cocked women. As the people who enjoyed the game and wanted something different most likely are no longer speaking up because devs kept telling them to shut up.
I've also never understood kink shaming. Seems super juvenile to me. Like I could understand if someone was like 12. Gonna expose myself but I was the asshole in middle school who made fun of the obviously gay kid, but by time you're in high-school most people myself included have grown out of that shit, and has accepted that people are into different things. Different strokes for different blokes. As long as people are not forcing people to do shit they don't want to who cares. I know the devs are usually responding to someone requesting content, which if they said simply they don't want to write it or they don't have the money to pay someone to write it i'd be fine. But as we've seen with people who wanted to simply write bars or other content for the hubs areas, they get blocked. I don't know how much kink specific stuff is being submitted or M x M or M x F, but the devs don't seem that accepting of ideas that clash with their taste. Which ironically I wouldn't be against. As sometimes gatekeeping is important to make sure the original vision stays consistent.
This part of the reason some people really obsess over certain anime, as they're usually a small project with a specific vision. And also why people don't like filler as it sometimes clashes with the original story( if the anime is based off a manga). If they were gatekeeping to keep the story consistent I wouldn't mind. As having 20 million people submitting content or working on a project can lead to it being all over the place and having clashing ideas or tone (which ironically is most of Tobs content imo. Even though from my understanding he was one of the og writers.) But despite that the story still feels more like a compilation than a well constructed collaboration.
I also agree that fallen angel trope can be good and the ntr/cuck term is overused. I think the fallen angel trope is a better descriptor for my earlier example with Lynne, as its made clear in game that she loves the player character still, but she's just hurting. And several scenes could be read as her waiting for the MC to come find her, but in the story all of the other female characters are hiding whats going on. And there not always doing this to protect Lynnes honor or spare the MC's feeling, but because they want the MC's dick all to themselves. So they actively sabotage Lynne. (The only one who stays mostly the same is Ariadne. Everyone endgame becomes a sociopath or broken mess.)
The more think about this I would say HMBK does corruption better than CoC2. (Not surprising as many games imo that don't even focus on that do it better) As the first route shows how malicious these characters who were all friendly a month ago and in some cases have known each other for multiple years can become in a short period of time.
