And I wasn't trying to denigrate your game. I haven't played Harem Hotel, but let's just agree, that even if it's very good, it's not the fucking Mona Lisa.
Haha, very true.

If one of the main issues is her slutty school girl outfit I guess you could just remove it but please try not to let them push you into altering her looks, maybe if you made reference to her getting a job like Kali that could help show she's not underaged.
I will never be altering her looks. I'd rather remove her from the game entirely. Every character in my game has very specific looks, and stories behind the looks. So it would completely ruin the character for me.

At the moment, I'm looking through the game and finding examples of her proving she's over 18 in the story.

Finally! An update from Patreon! Not as bad as I thought it'd be.

Basically, I need to provide proof to them that Ashley is over 18 in the story's context.
It's a while since I played the game...
When they say "depicted in clothes [...] (school and cheerleading uniforms)" ... I wonder if they do mean in-game or just in your promotional material?
Because if it's only in-game... they're either playing - or at least have had a mooch around in the /images/ folder.
As you say, that's something you can probably fix with a clear (or clearer) introduction.

If it's purely your promotional images... then maybe it's just a case of changing the promotional images (and maybe doing something with an in-game introduction).

Regardless... good news and a step in the right direction.

Aaaaand this would be the point where I figure out how I transition away from Patreon. I wouldn't want to be dependent on a platform who judges which of my characters is "appropriate for being sexualized."

Give her a drivers license and make clear that this is only possible when shes 18 or older in the world of HH ^^

Or maybe just for fun Runey could create a special event celebrating Ashleys 19th Birthday, big banners, balloons all that good stuff :D
I can't actually (officially) support this. Because this is what happens in my game too :D

I think you will need to alter her, they clearly stated that "petite" + "school uniform" is not appropriate and instructed you to change this - not to give her a drivers license as some suggested or to put more appropriate context. They seem to care about the looks in this particular case, not the context so much. You should clarify with them if it would be possible to make it more appropriate through context or if graphics absolutely must change.

This is an important distinction. The "together with the fact" makes it obvious they want some aspect of her appearance changed but Runey has mentioned not budging in that regard. We'll have to see what happens.

No they say "together with" which seems to imply that both her look and attire combined add up to a character they deem inappropriate, they also clearly state that Runey just needs to take steps that she is more clearly portrayed as an adult, they don't state anything about altering her model.

Patreon's statement is not completely clear. What does portrayed mean to them? In the 1st paragraph they defined that combination of petite and school uniform is absolutely no go. In second they said Runey needs to take steps to ENSURE she is more clearly portrayed as an adult, which points that they expect things to be changed. In paragraph no3 they state they cant wait to review anything Runey has to show that is as-is at the moment or after the expected changes.

To me, the way their reply was written points that they expect changes to be made. I may be wrong, that is why I suggested Runey clarifies this with them.

Yes, here is what I'll be sending them to prove she's over the age of 18, clearly an adult, and so on.

I hope you get a favourable response back from them, it's seems obvious to me but well I guess we'll see.
*fingers crossed*
