At least they've decided to not add anymore T8 Character to Ecchi Sensei, adding more would only mean this issue would be worse down the line. I also hope that the girls that you mentioned might be getting removed stay in the game. While none of them are my favorite characters, they still looked like they could be interesting, and could have become more popular if they were given more content. Plus I also don't see people being happy when the merge finally comes out and they see that some girls are gone, even if they weren't popular, losing characters after over a year without any updates probably isn't going to make people happy.

Ideally, they'd simply stop dropping characters if no longer supported. At least after a certain level of plot relevance. The final product/Year One Merge, should at least clear out those that ended up leading to dead ends though. Perhaps, have a toggle in the options to keep them there for people who want that, or a "Cut Content" gallery, if that's easier. Throw in an "This is an early build, so some things may be added or removed in the future" notice on load up for current releases, and you should be good for now.
At the very least, anyone who continued to to pay during the last year (maybe two) should have at least get a year long buffer before their character gets dropped. Otherwise, they've not been provided what they payed for. That year would at least give BC enough to lead things to a conclusion stopping point.
You mentioned the lists Rando posted of possibly removed and save girls and well I think both of the lists suck. From the girls likely to be removed I like 4 of them and don't want them to be removed on the other hand I don't care about 3 of the girls on the safe list.
As I stated multiple times before the idea of the T8 characters was a bad idea from and at this point, after wasting a whole year of development Blue should just keep all of them in the game continued funding or not.
T8 is the 100$ tier and they can design a character for the game, the problem is when the Patreon stops supporting or goes to a lover tier the character will no longer be in the game, at least that is what is known because Bluecat hasn't said anything about them.
This is the current T8 list from Patreon.
So basically all these girls can vanish at any point from the game.
I agree, especially due to this merge. Should characters start to get dropped due to these recent events, there should be a buffer equal to as long as it takes for this merge or the next new content to come out. Although this does bring up the question of how things work if a supporter drops, but them comes back several months later.
This actually bring up something I was going to mention in my first post, but decided not to add as my first post was long enough as is. Just because a character isn't the most popular doesn't mean they don't have fans and just because a character is popular doesn't mean everyone likes them. I'm sure there are people who agree with you and like some girls who have a risk of getting cut but don't like girls who are seemingly safe, and to have the girls they like remove is not going to sit well with them. This also bring up the point that (at least from my recollection) nowhere in the game is it mentioned that certain girls could be removed, let alone which girls could be removed. So there are probably people who don't know about all this T8 stuff and have no idea that some girls may be removed. And as I mentioned in another comment, people have been waiting for a very long time for this merge, so they probably won't be happy to see that some girls have been removed during that time (assuming anyone gets removed), even more so as again I don't believe it was ever mentioned that some girls could have the possibility of being removed.

There are multiple girls on the Main Chars 2 and Side Chars lists that I would rather see cut than most of the T8 girls.
Quite a few T8 Girls would be in my favorite girls list. Hell based on the picture you posted earlier, there are 29 girls (34 if we count the girls who have New over their head), so statistically a lot of people would have a few of them on their favorites list.

The issue with the T8 characters is they dilute the game too much. I've said this previously, a long time ago, but this game has way too many LI's. You can't keep track of who all these people are, why they exist and most of their scenes are filler or randomly placed in a way that the story doesn't make sense . Personally, I can't remember any of them besides the family members and a few of the other main LI's.
It doesn't matter if X is someone's favorite character if that character hardly ever shows up or their scenes are too short and meaningless. Quite frankly, it's sort of a ripoff to pay for them.

I agree that 98 girls (including past time) are too much but there are multiple T8 girls that have more scenes than some of the main girls.
A fair argument, and it is certainly a reason for why T8 should never have been a thing and why no more T8 Girls should be added. However what's done has been done, and now the question is will some of them be removed due to supporters dropping. And some of the girls have more content than Main Girls, so their removal will be noticed (from what I know, none of the big ones are at risk for leaving, but some girls who had connections to Main Girls may be).
Sadly the dl-link to the dark mind patch seems down, does a valid link for the week2 dm patch exist? would love to play on.
So if the main T8 supporter goes away, could we convince BC to sell shares of the character for lower tiers? Maybe 4 or 5 shares and supporters would have to indicate which orphaned T8 they want their money pledged. If there are enough continuing pledges the character stays in rotation.

That would be something to bring up in the Discord, if you want any traction.
Are you hoping to salvage someone in particular?
