Im...not sure what your analogies have to do with anything. Toilet? Soap? What?... it's content you don't want to see... how are you feeling locked out of something you don't even want? I don't feel locked out of Agni's content just cause i don't give her a blue egg... wtf is so broken in your head you feel robbed of something you don't even want? Do you hate your toilet? How about your soap? God damn you're stupid.
If someone orders a pizza to your house and you like pizza, you're going to be happy about said pizza.
If said pizza comes and turns out to have..idk, olives, anchovies and ranch sauce, it's going be disappointing, because you wanted pizza, and now you either eat a gross pizza or get nothing.
Similarly, if a character I like gets a bunch of content, and it turns out the content is the complete opposite direction of what the character previously offered it disappointing on several levels.
The immediate level, in that you almost got something you liked, but turns out, it's not for you at all, is disappointing.
Another issue is that when you fork a character into multiple states like this, it's reasonable to assume each state is gonna get less content, and if you only like one path that means less future content for you.
And then there the possibility that the new path is the only one that gets content at all is also present.
Easy example of all this is Brint/Brienne.
Personally I'm not big on either of them, but it's pretty easy to think about how a Brint fan feels about when Brienne popped up.
Here you thought you were getting a steady dose of beefcake throughout the life of the game, and suddenly, the character is turned into basically a completely different one. Worse, new character gets more scenes, more development and more attention than the old. Wsan has been pretty good at throwing Brint a bone now and then but I think it's pretty obvious Brienne is now the favorite.
And that is the issue of having a character suddenly go down a path completely opposite than where they started.
