Just to clarify, with the exception of incest, none of the other 3 even come close. not counting things like 2dcg, vaginal sex, or adventure (i.e. tags that get attached incidentally and arent really part of the kinks, maybe someones kink is missionary, but honestly, i mean the kind of thing that just gets attached to a large number of game just because), loli is attached to about 400 games. prostitution has more. beastiality is only lower than loli by 15 or 20. and thats not counting the whales (which ill get to). many, many, many more kinks have way more than that, as well as ntr, which only sits around 750 ish. and we all know how many games get tagged ntr because of only a single scene, or a bit of avoidable ntr with a single side character or something.... futa is around 900 almost, if you include trap (174) and futa protag (244) you still dont even hit incest (1641), and thats with all 3 combined... some people like traps and not futa. some like futa and not traps. i would say most dont like either in comparison. but thats just a guess on my part. then getting to incest, which is probably one of the more popular tags (i dont get it, but saying my opinion on the matter gets your post deleted, so ill leave it there), still lags WAY behind things like romance (over 2000), rape (over 2500), or lesbian (over 2100). pregnancy breaks 1000, as does femdom, virgin breaks 1200, voyeurism 1700, corruption hits almost 1800, monster and monster girl both get over 1600, milf gets about 1800, and if you want to include it as a specific kink (since a lot of people are against it) group sex gets over 2300. possibly incidental. hell, even harem beats any of the ones you mentioned except incest at almost 1000. another one that is kinda questionable since it probably gets a lot more incidental numbers than solely dedicated titles (although there are many, and the mosquito bite squad shows up to cry about them in every thread) is big tits, at well over 5000. (i know its one of my fetishes, i see no big tits tag, it better look stupidly interesting or im out.)The issue with the community isn't exclusive to this site. That's anonymous individuals in general who like to trash talk and shame. Some of it is to bully as you said, "Stop liking what I don't like!" is very real. Others actually don't like a direction a game has taken, or would rather it be taken elsewhere. I get the second part and will usually just leave a game if it isn't for me as I don't see why others can't enjoy what they like I and I what I like.
I believe the biggest kinks on this site would be incest, ntr, and probably futa/traps. In general I would say those as well, but would probably be four at least. Now, this gives the advantage of having people want to stick with you because it's a popular kink, and not all forms of futa are well expanded upon, but it will also give you harsher critics and expectations for the same reason. People really want something and therefore really want it to do well, mainly for themselves.
The biggest thing you have to remember is that unless you are getting paid, say a commission, you need to be doing this for you, so you need to focus on what you want from the game as it is your vision. I liked what I saw in the prologue and from what I have seen of some of your art, so I am curious. If you are being paid specifically for your work, then you only have to do what is asked, so people won't complain as much because they are getting exactly what they wanted. Also, I said this in another thread, but I think it can apply everywhere. The one thing people need when putting something out where others can see is simple humbleness. It is impossible to please everyone and is a painful waste of time to even attempt to do so. Yes, look at constructive criticism, but you must always know how to ignore and not care. I have been BTFO as well as complimented on my writing, so I know how it can hurt when you are told that you may as well just nuke your work and start over. All you can do is listen to what they say and try to improve since without those same haters you will only stagnate.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
if you dont want a bunch of numbers to read, skip to this point and realize that simply stating your favourites or the ones that come up most often by a very vocal minority advocating for more of in EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. doesnt mean that they are actually the most popular.
seriously though, even urination has more than loli. which shouldnt exist to begin with.
