EXCUSE ME?! I didn't complain, I simply gave my personal opinion of preferring him as Top, I never once disagreed or went against his desire for the characters to be versatile. I don't know if you played Camp Buddy and it's none of my business either, but Keitaro was versatile at different times, in fact the only 100% top character is Goro and the only 100% bottom characters are Reginald and Felix, so nothing prevents that Ace can be active with Derek/Bryce/Zayne, so much so that they did 3 polls giving fans the freedom to choose the couples, things that CB didn't have, no matter the route you chose, canonically Keitaro stays with Hiro , but in JS we have more freedom, just relax, it doesn't have to be passive aggressive towards someone you don't even know. .
You didn't say that though. People commented that they want verse options and the first and only thing you said is that it would be "a waste" with a smug coffee. What do you expect people to think when you put that? You didn't say "that would be really cool if they added that but I'm personally going to stick witih Zayne as a top in my playthrough." That would have been fine. You just popped up to say 'But I don't like that...
' and when you do that, I'm sure you can see why it comes off as weird and judgemental. Hence why I said nobody's going to try to take away what you want - it's the obvious route to take with Zayne's big cock. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but yeah, you came off like those straight guys in the comments of games with one gay scene.
And yes, I've played CB, though I've yet to get onto Scoutmaster. The CB formula is to have the characters switch for one scene, imply a dynamic is going to get really interesting, and then backpeddle hard and do nothing with that - Yoichi's route in particular. CB heavily implies that the top is graciously allowing it to happen once, and once only, and then they're usually weird about it, unless they're Hiro, as you say. CB has wonderful production value, but the way it treats the topic of who tops and who bottoms was quite stereotypical for the gay community. I hope we'll have more freedom in JS, but most m/m games are overwhelmingly aimed at people who want big men to be dommy tops, and small men to be submissive bottoms, and complaining about that is all over the KS thread.
While full choice of routes for each character would be a pipe dream, I really want JS to do better than CB in that regard.
