I mean, I wouldn't say no. But she has made clear repeatedly that she wants to tell the story her way, and if the dev herself is more into women being dominant and sadistic towards men, I guess it's understandable that those are the scenes that get a little more love.
I appreciate that there is a path at all that doesn't require us to play one of the protagonists as submissive, but of course I'd like my preferred path to receive more attention.
I appreciate that too and, moreover,
have written about it before, addressing the developer.
Everyone has their own tastes and their own kinks. However, I don't see anything wrong with just adding a few dom screenshots to the game description without touching the rest of the pictures. After all, new patrons of the game don't come from "thin air" and could potentially be maledom orientated players.
TessSadist in 2020 wrote the following in this thread (I quote)
The simple reality is that I believe now is that certain styles of femdom games can't achieve a particular floor of commercial viability. It is what it is. I do have a theory about that but won't share that as it obviously could be wrong and I also don't want to be negative either.
I don't know if anything has changed since then and whether she still thinks so or not, but the fact remains. In a femdom oriented game (KG) it is possible to play with dom route, the
game has pretty good financial figures unlike those games which only have femdom and no maledom. I don't know the exact number of maledom patrons of KG, but I can assume that the promised vote for new bonus renders etc for maledom oriented players
that Tess is launching from next month will let her know the % of such patrons. Personally, this tells me that Tess cares about the opinions of her subscribers/patrons, even if that maledom group of patrons turns out to be smaller than the group of femdom-oriented players.
I get that KG is still Tess's favourite hobby where she can explore her talents as a writer, artist and creator, but you have to admit it would be nice if this game could generate a decent side income for its creator. And that's already happening, Tess' brainchild has already achieved a lot for the "unpopular femdom" genre.

And attracting additional patrons requires advertising, among other things. And adding a few screenshots from dom route is the easiest thing you can do to popularize the game. KG with its fetishes (even if it was a pure maledom game) would hardly bring a comparable income to some conventionally vanilla Adult VN AAA game, but that is the price to pay for special and unpopular with the masses preferences and BDSM kinks.
We all know it - and when we watch unpopular with the masses movies and when we watch BDSM porn, which has many times fewer downloads than vanilla porn. Yes, it's a given, there will always be more vanilla fans than fans of conventionally extreme kinks and fetishes like BDSM (femdom/maledom/lezdom/slave/humiliation/domination/petplay/e.t.c)
I read through a bunch of reviews and comments before I venture out to play this game, and another person (notional maledom patron) will just look at the current screenshots and pass it by. So why not make the game even more popular (without sacrificing major kinks and fetishes)? What harm would a few extra
dom screenshots do? Think about it.
