The dev is here for feedback from the players. I gave my feedback. I was polite, and constructive, and was not demanding. I'm still going to play the game, and enjoy it. Dev seemed like he wasn't personally against the idea, but was worried about some players' reactions, so I was just letting him know that there are players that want that content.
There's no reason anyone should be offended, or upset, about optional content being in the game. Dev has made it clear that he's making the game he wants to play, which is exactly what devs should do. But he also said that he's avoiding that content specifically because he's afraid of backlash, which means he's having to censor himself due to the whims of a vocal minority, and that is wrong.
