yeah, like I said it's obviously not 1:1, there are just parallels (for instance, Evelyn criticizes the libido-reduction medicine Ashe mentions because it has horrible side-effects—ones which seem reminiscent of the chemical castration sometimes mandated for trans people but most famously in the case of Alan Turing as a punishment for being gay)The themes of coming to terms with your own identity, coming out, prejudice, etc. are of course intentional. So it's not a big leap to go from that to comparable real-life issues. The only thing I said is that I don't intend to make this a 1:1 parable to the plight of trans people. Also because there are some things going on with the duplos (e.g. their biological disposition for being extra horny) that I'd find problematic to equate with any real-life counterpart.
Obviously, that doesn't mean I'll stop anyone who can strongly relate to Ashe's struggles. It's very welcome in fact.
but it's also a porn game so something like 'the protagonist struggles with her unusual horniness' is a plot device and genre convention (because the point is for the characters to fuck, imagine fucking, struggle over this, etc.), not some kind of twisted 'rep'—it'd be pretty difficult to make a porn game with entirely accurate depictions of real people, since that necessarily couldn't be as hot or sex-focused
