Defo gonna play, but I would have loved it if you just continued the original game. Good luck with this title.

Mmm, but see, they do have the right to voice their displeasure about the whole thing.
Yes, and you have the "right" to go to a vegan restaurant and complain that they don't serve meat, but you'll just make yourself look like a moron. "I'm displeased someone made a thing that caters to tastes different from mine" is such pointless whining it deserves nothing but ridicule. Especially when those whining have plenty of products that do cater to their tastes, they could consume instead.

Ok. When I first saw this one, I thought " Hey, I recognise that picture.". Then I read the overview. Right, it'd not the original game but set in the same or parallel universe. I enjoyed the original, but this will sit nicely in the divot left by it. As far as the protagonist is concerned, I really don;t care if it's male, female, or a random penguin from the local zoo. I'll play it and if I like it, I'll play future updates. If I don't like it, I won't and then move on to other things.
In saying all of that... so far, so good, although the text could be more readable.

That depends. Was the joint clearly marked "Shit Burgers"?

Because if so, then yes, you should eat without complaint, or never bother coming if that doesn't sound appealing. You knew what you're getting.

Morons who see the tag but choose to enter the thread anyway just to complain about it don't deserve any defense.
That may be true once we have the revamped tagging system that actually gives you a sense for what they mean. Right now they can mean anything from a single scene related to the tag, and often avoidable, to it being the sole focus of the game and completely unavoidable. If you don't often open threads with tags you actively avoid to try and determine the difference, you're missing out on a lot.

And that's a very disingenuous argument considering this is based on (and looks like) an original game that didn't have that tag. Of course fans are going to open the thread regardless of tags.

I'd save that line of argument for people coming into a 1 year or older thread begging for tags to be included or removed. The best time to give feedback is right after a game is released.

Except in this particular case the whole discussion started with a guy who didn't like the game has female protagonist. There's no real ambiguity to speak of here.

There's no "best time" for people to try to sway the devs to alter their design to accommodate whatever kink they are into. If it was planned, good for you. If it wasn't, you're doing the same thing people complain the patrons do, slow down development (extra content doesn't make itself) and turn the game into messy shit just so it caters to them personally.

There is, in fact, ambiguity.

Possibility 1: new threads are sometimes incorrectly tagged - sometimes necessary tags are missing or the wrong one was used by mistake. Can take a week or two to be fixed.
Possibility 2: the game will be multi-protag but hasn't gotten to that point yet and, by site rules, can't apply the tag until the relevant content is added to the game.
Possibility 3: they didn't think they needed to check the tags since it looked like the original game and, assuming it was, they opened the thread without checking. Already mentioned this possibility but you seem to have missed it.

Please. The guy's complaint was based directly on him taking the tag at face value. He didn't think there's any ambiguity here. Simply complained that the game has female protagonist which he does not like. As if anyone gave an actual fuck that a rando on the intrawebs doesn't play porn games with female protagonist.

Assuming quite a bit there - they could have opened the thread uncertain and then read the description or other comments to confirm. But given that the specific post you keep referencing went on to mention this is a prequel, they seem to be familiar with the original. So, once again, it's entirely possible that they, like many people in this thread have joked about, opened the thread thinking it was the original.

That exact situation happened in the very next post after the one you linked as well as this one https://f95zone.to/threads/early-life-crisis-v0-4-noegrets.228386/post-15135542 so it's not hypothetical - this has been happening.

Although it's true the current tagging system is somewhat ambiguous, you're missing the actual point of the argument here. This is about people COMPLAINING about tags or lack of certain tags, in the context of their preferences. Not missing tags or ambiguous tags. If someone comes in and asks "Hey, is this game focused on "insert tag here" and if not is it avoidable?", that's completely fine! There's nothing wrong with that at all. However, as soon as you come in saying: "Oh, this game has swinging/sharing AND the harem tag, we all know how that ends up! You don't combine these tags!" or something along those lines, you're just being a nuisance, and they know exactly what they're doing. That's just one example, there are a lot of other common whining complaints I see of a similar nature.

So... asking for clarification on certain tags, or warning a dev that tags are missing, is 100% valid. Complaining about certain tags being present, or nagging a dev to add shit that isn't currently in the game (in a rude manner), is just pathetic. Especially considering this is a pirate forum where most people on here play these games for free. It gets tiring seeing the same usual suspects (they know who they are), coming into these threads with tags they don't like and complaining and trying to manipulate the dev into changing their game. Or the ones who come in here and cry over the fact that there's no harem, or incest, or NTR, are also a nuisance and think the world revolves around them and that devs should cater to their taste. It's okay to ASK a dev if certain content will be added at a later point or if they have thought about adding it. However, a lot of people don't politely ask, they either demand, or rudely ask, and then leave some snarky comment when they don't get their desired answer.

Sigh. OK, even presuming that they might've been uncertain, that still makes the whole pointless complaint entirely on them: "i have assumed that maybe Shit Burgers didn't really sell shit burgers. But then it turned out to be actually true." isn't in any shape a justification to complain about the content that matches the tag.

Heck, even without any tags the whole "this game is not to my liking and hence i won't be playing it" is just an exercise in self-importance.

For a brief moment I thought this was that game finally getting a update and getting continued, but lo and behold the surprise when I opened it and fully noticed the new title. Will say this is an interesting concept but I one don't play many female protag games in the first place and two don't typically touch fan stories of games I've already played before seeing the fan story in question. I do hope however that myself and any others commenting in the negative aren't discouraging you and that this game is well received and well developed on your part
