Bro, I'm pretty sure people not being interested in seeing a handsome MC have cheat powers is exactly why less attractive MCs with cheat powers are so prevalent. Also, by the definition of a kink, it isn't supposed to be something a majority of people are into, and it doesn't have to be if we're talking about profit and business strategies.
Also, ugly people don't need magic to get sex either. The whole point of making the MC less attractive is to contrast the attactiveness of the girls he's fucking. It's not so much as "Control/Domination" as much as it is humiliation at play. It's more humiliating when the person forcing them to do something looks like they're way out of their league. You don't need an ugly dude if "Control/Domination" was the focus, but it's a staple for NTR and other games where someone's distressed by the situation.
Ok lets break this down
"Bro, I'm pretty sure people not being interested in seeing a handsome MC have cheat powers is exactly why less attractive MCs with cheat powers are so prevalent"
I expressed a personal opinion, I'm not stupid enough to claim what "people" want, there are some clues to this in my post, let me highlight them for you
I'd say it was less a kink than a dose of realism,
personally when the MC is too "handsome"
I can't stop wondering about why he is a virgin at his age or why he needs to grind all these petty tasks to get the girl (
IMO the MC should be uglier than me, for my own self esteem
)... but who's looking at the MC anyway? he's normally little more than a shadow most of the time.
"Also, by the definition of a kink, it isn't supposed to be something a majority of people are into, and it doesn't have to be if we're talking about profit and business strategies."
I disagree, A "Kink" is a predilection toward specific sexual stimuli, you can have "Niche Kinks" that seem to appeal to small samples of the population or "Mainstream Kinks" that seem to appeal to much wider audiences.... A defining characteristic of "kink" is that generally it isn't something that is discussed in "polite society" so it is hard to gauge how prevalent specific "Kinks" are.
"The whole point of making the MC less attractive is to contrast the attactiveness of the girls he's fucking."
Are you the Dev to make such concrete assertions? I'd certainly agree that the contrast between the MC and NPC's can be considered
A factor, but trying to define it as "THE" whole point strikes me as extremely limited thinking.
"It's not so much as "Control/Domination" as much as it is humiliation at play. It's more humiliating when the person forcing them to do something looks like they're way out of their league."
I play this game for Control/Domination aspect, I clearly stated this in my post let me highlight it for you (seriously dude, you need to put more effort into your reading).
...
For me the kink on display is "Control/Domination", the MC being ugly is just proof of the "supernatural" power in play, if he was handsome it wouldn't be any different from your average "playboy" porn (which generally bore the shit out of me).
If you play this game for the humiliation aspects then great for you, it doesn't change what I get out of it AND it doesn't change the fact that I don't consider the "Ugly Bastard" as a kink within the context of my play (
which was the point I was responding too)... he is at best a counterpoint to the kinks I'm here for.

The person I was replying to posted "Shame the player can only be a ugly bastard.
I'll never understand this kink. "
and I attempted to share
A perspective that might grant him some
understanding.
I'm not sure why you are trying so hard to make an argument where none was needed, clearly you have some different opinions to me, and clearly your opinion can also work to give that poster similar perspective.... So Bro! why the argument???
