I agree with you that the NTR doesn't realy fit in this game and it could do without and thats coming from a guy who likes NTR but, if he's a patron of the game then why would't SCS listen to him, after all he's the one supporting the game while most here on F95 don't. Can't pay the bills on those long time loyal fans who don't spend a single cent on the game.
Be honest, if you where a developer and your paying supporters are requesting you put in content that they want would't you listen to the people who are actually paying you rather than those pirates? Look at the massive backslash he got on this site where it would seem that every long time fan of the game was pissed at him.. well despite all that he's still making good money and has even gained patrons iirc, so again why would he listed to you or me or anybody on here rather than the people who actually pay him.
Developers should make the game they planned to do. That doesn't mean that if they get a suggestion that fits the game and the content shown so far, they couldn't use that idea. But if you start listening to every patreon and start putting their ideas no matter if they fit the plot/game/character or not, then suddently, you won't do your game but the game others suggest you to do.
Other thing that happens when devs start to please some part of their patreons, not all their patreons but a few that suggest things like NTR or kinks that doesn't fit in the game, is that they lose interest in develop their game, start making updates that makes less sense every time, has more bugs, the waiting is longer, etc. That is already happening here since the Jax update.
So yeah, he should listen to patreons, but he should make the game he as developer want, not the one that some of his supporters wants. When you support a dev in patreon is because you like what that dev is doing, in this case Melinda for example, that doesn't mean that the dev should listen to everything you as patreon say. He shouldn't change his game just because he got a few or a lot of new patreons.
The thing is that he doesn't seems to know what to do with his game after he started forcing the NTR content in his game, a content that doesn't fit at all with the game, nor the characters. And he just did to please a supporter or a few, now we got the results, updates that makes no sense, plot that makes no sense, more NTR scenes that changes completly how a character acts, changing Melinda and others just so it can fit NTR, and the worst is that it seems like the dev doesn't know what to do anymore, and all that because he conceded to some of his supporters and put a kink that didn't have a logical way in the game.
