I bring up Atugia because she's the prime example of what you can expect out of a female companion class character versus one like Berwyn. You yourself even tried to duck into this counter-argument that I wasn't comparing companion to companion.
1.Berwyn is a DUDE. I didn't compare them, because in a futa vs female conversation, Berwyn doesn't even figure. I'm not sure why you're bringing up Berwyn.
Of course, you can change Berwyn into anything you want at the end...but that spread the content out equally between ALL genders, which makes it a moot point, and for most of his plotline he's still a dude.
2. Berwyn does NOT have a lot of content. He didn't get a content update for so long, he gotten given a single big update by B, then sidelined. Berwyn's a terrible standard.
At the same time, you're meshing together all non-companion females with companion females and while entirely ignoring the lack of depth and lack of creativity behind said characters. Sheer numbers alone is not telling us a total picture here. It's intellectually disingenuous. Something like Berwyn should not have the same weight in the count as something like Atugia. Hell, there are throw-away wild encounter trash monsters with more content than Atugia.
Again Berwyn doesn't count AT ALL. He isn't in this.
I'm saying it DOESN'T MATTER which metric you use.
Characters with little content? Mostly female.
Characters with lots of content? Mostly female.
Throwaway characters? Mostly female.
Characters with lots of plot relevance? Mostly female.
Now I get it. If you're going to give a character a default body, then give your player options to modify it, you're also going to have to write lore, scenes, conflicts and all that jazz, to facilitate it. Then that also means they'll get scenes impregnating the PC, or being able to be impregnated, so it is way easier to create content for the bisexual player who's into jungle-gym companions... but that completely validates the accusation hetrosexual players bring up when they say that the only-male love interest companions, or only-female love interest companions, lack the depth that the jungle-gym characters have. The kitsune den as a whole is prove you can have depth, quests, mechanics and interesting world fluff on vanilla characters. As is Brint's family.
..you just named a bunch of female characters with in depth content. Brints family and kitsune den is like....8 female characters.
And ZERO futas. You literally just went against your own point.
I'd like to see all companions written to the level of Brint, Kiyoko, Berwyn, I'd like to see Atugia given the attention she deserves. They need to put the breaks on new characters, flesh out current ones, and finish the MSQ. That wont happen as long as they're just letting their paid writing staff continue to contribute whatever adhd new oc they come up with, and I say that as an adhd creative myself.
At this point they may as well just make CoCII a framework so people can add in random junk, because that's about how much unified creative vision this has. The only reason these body-morphing characters have so much content is precisely because they appeal to the creative type that gets bored easily. Which is their writing staff.
Why are you focused on body morphing characters? Who are we even talking about besides Berwyn (not much content) and Brienne (whose content is overwhelmingly female)? WHy are they part of this conversation at all? Where did these goalposts suddenly come from?
Why are you bringing them up in a conversation about futa and female? If anything, it works against your argument, because both of them are taking a male character and turning them female, making even MORE female characters.
Why have you still not named all these in-depth, constantly updated, plenty of content futa characters?
