Quite a lot to unpack with this post but I'll reply to some bits of it.Hmm. That bugs me.
That's a paddlin'

There's a person talking about Lane, and how that concept was done better.
I've some feedback.
I'll go a step further and say that there's multiple characters who offer more choice in engagement of addiction, mind control, and general will manipulation. Every time this type of idea is broached across two games prior to CoC2

And then we come to CoC2.
Kalysea exhibits many of the same flaws every character in CoC2 has.
And don't get me started on companions.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
You have married wives in your entourage. Yet nobody does anything.
- When the PC is addicted to Marble's milk? Multiple characters show concern and personality. Izma gets downright hostile
- When Lane is siphoning the PC's funds? Multiple characters can be the one to start the intervention.
- When Alexandria is mind controlling the PC? You have to deliberately seal them in their quarters to stop them from interrupting.
Funny joke, Savin.
A character who holds 100% of the power 100% of the time? I haven't seen that before. In another year or so we'll get futa-doomme #8 and the cycle will repeat itself.
You'll note that 0% of my personal grievances have anything to do with de-dicking or turning Kalysea into a sub.
Edit: Huh. Didn't realize I had that much to say.
1. The 99% of the feedback is about her having a dick bit obviously wasn't literal. I wasn't referring toward actual feedback on Kaly but it was pretty vague so I definitely get why it might be taken that way (there's actually been some interesting ideas sometimes posted here) but more the attitude that I see of people disliking characters with dicks (especially if dominant) for simply having them in the first place. You see these comments after every patch that includes one. For example, I do not ever interact with subby NPCs because it's not my thing, but I don't complain whenever a new subby NPC is released, despite the fact it would be preferable for me if they were dominant instead.
2. Collecting the feedback in a condensed form is actually quite handy thanks.
3. Kaly's story arc is absolutely not finished yet, so the idea of the PC regaining control is still on the cards. Actually very important to point this out tbh, there is a lot of future content planned for her that will fill in most of the gaps people have been talking about, it just: A - it's expensive, it takes me a long time to save up for it, B - it's time consuming for Wsan so he has to make sure his schedule is cleared up with enough free time and he's in the right mindset (so he doesn't burn out writing a shit ton of Kaly content in one go) to take on the next big update for her.
4. There were plans to have more humanizing elements for Kaly originally but they didn't make the cut for her first big patch due to a mix of budget problems and some complications with extra SFW scenes.
5. I'd love to involve companions more with Kalysea, both for NSFW content and SFW interactions, especially as Kaly influences the PC more. However, I was very sad to encounter a lot of walls regarding companions, effectly from what I understand each companion is 'overseen' by a writer and so that writer needs to be consulted for content involving them which makes things very complicated and annoying to sort.
In conclusion, most of this feedback has been addressed in plans, it's just a matter of time and hoping that companions can get more involved now that Kaly has been implanted a little more deeply into CoC2 as a more prominent character. I think there was probably initially concern from the team about integrating Kaly with other companions as she was effectively an OC being plopped into the game, I can understand why they might be hesitant at first but I'm sure things will be different now she's all settled in.
Hope this explains thing, if I missed anything important just give me another poke about it.
