We all do that, it is why we choose the games we play here.
We all want an outcome we prefer, I just want a different one than you do, but I believe that the outcome I prefer can be optional where you need not see it, and which is both defensible in how the characters are written and would not detract from the outcome you prefer.
Would it bother you so much to have an outcome exist that empowers D just a little bit, to expand to being able to have her own needs and desires? To feel the urge to experiment?
I am not calling for your outcome to not exist, I just have something else I would like to see.
D can be a deeper character with more power and control over her own choices without harming anyone

I think your first misconception is that an outcome that doesn't place her in morally ambiguous situations she has to experience inner turmoil or outward consequences for isn't empowering her. You assume that the only way that she can be empowered is if she is placed in situations you've defined and that's not even remotely accurate. Let me be more clear about this. The game as written has the MC worshiped as a sex god basically because of his penis size and miraculous ability to not only have sex as often as is required but is also a person responsive to the other persons needs. These traits have caused almost all the females around MC and D to go to great lengths, and even through major life changes to try to be involved with him. The daughter is dramatically in love with him and to this point he has satisfied her in every emotional and sexual need and sees only support for her relationship from the people that are aware. She is literally mesmerized by his penis and preoccupied with it. There is no realistic or story explainable situation where she would likely want or need another male to fulfill her. The only way it is explainable is if it is initiated by the MC. You seem to think that unless she wants something else she isn't being allowed freedom. In this story that seems rather like saying if she breathes air, unless she is written to want and actually to breath water then she is being held back or restricted by some nefarious patriarchal conspiracy. You can't accept that the character can be satisfied with her F and want nothing else, but that is how she's written. Any change at this point is against the material established. My argument is simply that if the situations occur then they would likely never be at her behest. They would be due to coercion by another. That's not lack of personal freedom since she still makes a choice but it would be true to the character as written. You seem to be saying you can only be satisfied if she has a compulsion toward another and acts upon it and that's not empowerment. Even if it is a relatively human reaction it's not empowering. The game repeatedly shows that her greatest desire is to please her F and have a future with him, even if that desire requires her to rationalize some circumstances and behaviors and open herself to new experiences, her achieving that goal is the greatest form of empowerment this character can achieve imo since they have overcome so many obstacles to it and she has strived for and experienced so much personal pain, anguish, sacrifice and growth to achieve it.
