Both Miðgarðsormr and Dragon59 raise valid points in their analyses, Mid with the usual screenwriting approach and Dragon with the literary/rhetorical approach (which I'm obviously partial to if you follow this thread lol). Neither of which were apparent to the person who prompted this discussion. It's unfortunate that enough devs cater to these loudmouth types that most western indie porn games in the last 3 years have devolved to "magic dick dude seduces every attractive female within a 3 mile radius to only want their dick, forgoing all sexual agency and personal autonomy for life in the harem".
Even people who wrote stories/developed games that were interesting before have succumbed to these types and stopped doing anything with a shred of interesting character or story dynamics in favor of assuaging these types through digital compensation, which is what I have a problem with. Nothing wrong with those games and if you want to write those stories, fine. But if you cater to these loudmouths who screech "cuck" and "snowflake" and brigade to seem like they are more in number than they really are, when you want to tell more interesting stories, you're not gonna get my money, and I am not gonna say a damn thing while moving on from your work, and there are plenty of us reasonable people who'll just move on with our lives instead of insisting every piece of erotic fiction bend to our will.
Just tell the stories you want to tell, and the support will show up. Not everybody wants to self-insert into some Marty Stu with a Magic Stick character. You might as well just watch gonzo porn if that's all you want (I watch plenty of gonzo). I'm sure most of us are grateful for a bit of variety in our storytelling.
EDIT: Also I'm an unapologetic degenerate and enjoy sleep sex a ton, so I personally loved that scene from a purely fetishistic standpoint, lol. But I was expecting it at some point on the basis of the obvious foreshadowing, and it's great that it fit thematically as well.
