Well for one that's how love works. Brain chemicals are serious business. Not to mention Laiden is attractive and went out of her way to help Azzy, not unlike the PC. Also let's not ignore the fact that we can have sex with Azzy right after meeting her and that's before we're even allowed to hug her. Trying to "logic" this whole deal, especially for a porn game, is futile.
Besides, at the end of the day you can just. say. no. and the whole thing is shut down. I'll never understood why it's perceived as such a big deal with people.
You're ignoring where I gave a much better way to implement their relationship. If we're basing her attraction to Liaden on that she "went out of her way to help Azzy" then should Azzy not turn to the player first, given we flat-out did far more? Then you could say "Well maybe Azzy has a type that Liaden fits," but that doesn't make sense either given that the PC can look exactly like Liaden. Given that the pair spent
so little time together, Azzy should not be immediately chomping at the bit for a chance to date her since she isn't for you either. That's why I suggested it would be better to work it like Alyssa/Jeremy in ORS, you get your chance but if you don't show interest she'll turn her attention elsewhere. Otherwise any male-presenting PC is left wondering, "Why did I help her again?" Because it isn't like you get any worthwhile loot from the quest, or anything aside from an additional companion.
No, I really don't understand. It's a porn game where the entire setting and point is about sexual openness. A character ASKING you, the player that fucks around all the time as is, upfront for help to get with someone. That you can shut down entirely should you wish and nothing ever comes of it afterwards. I'd understand if she went behind your back like, I wanna say, Amily in the first CoC. But she doesn't. It's dropped.
It really seems to me that people should stop projecting onto their PC so much if something like that in a porn game can upset them. It's bordering on incel shit.
Assuming everyone plays the same character is the first mistake. Not everyone plays the same, banging whoever they can. An example being when I played CoC1 as a paladin and only ever slept with Amily because from my character's perspective she was really one of the only pure people left. He felt that while Tel'Adre might not have been as evil as the demons, they were still far from pure. Amily goes behind your back
after you go behind her back. Tit for tat and two wrongs don't make a right, but credit for having
some consequences for the PC's actions. Asking someone upfront/backwards/sideways doesn't matter. It's dumb, and it's
forced. It's like any bad writing, the writer did not
earn this moment. Because like I said, you could be the spitting image of Liaden and Azzy will still pick her. Doesn't make sense, as they hardly know each other. You can't assume the player sleeps around (or even that Azzy knows they do) because not everyone plays the game the same way.
And I really want to call this out but "It really seems to me that people should stop projecting onto their PC so much if something like that in a porn game can upset them. It's bordering on incel shit." is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why? Because
people get attached to their characters. I'll even give you an example,

God forbid people get invested in and attached to their characters, right? Vin Diesel was such an incel for having his old DnD character's name tattooed on his stomach in the movie xXx, right?
And I'm not even one of the people who get upset that characters can do things I wouldn't like them to do in other routes. I think it's silly for it to be upsetting if you're not currently on that route, but I can understand the perspective. Because it's "If Route X [Character] is capable of doing that, then doesn't that mean Route Y [Character] is also capable of doing that?" Then you have to metagame to justify why they wouldn't and say "Well Route Y [Character] wouldn't because that's not the route I'm on," which means kiss your immersion goodbye.
Tl;dr
