Your fantasies about something are your personal business, but they cannot determine what that something is or isn't. Some people might fap to Frozen, that doesn't make it a porno. You're the one who is identifying yourself with the PC to such an extent that you feel like you're actually living their life. Likewise, you've chosen to expect your in-game self to abide by your personal definitions or opinions, even though you're consuming something that has already been created and you've had no part in creating it. If you think swinging/sharing is ntr, or any woman getting fucked by a man who isn't the PC is ntr, that's on you and completely irrelevant to both the game and it's creator.
I just played through that part and all h-scenes are avoidable. But even if Vanessa fucks the guy while you're interested in her, it still isn't ntr because both of you agree to fuck other people beforehand. Well I guess Joe's getting cucked. In any case, intent is what matters not your personal metaphysics. Open relationships are not ntr.
It's unfortunate that you don't understand.This by proxy thing only works when the MC feels the same as the player. If the player is getting jealous about something that the MC doesn't care about then how can you claim they're your proxy to experience the world through? You can feel as unpleasant as you want but unless that's also how the MC feels that's entirely you.
This site's definition of NTR is extremely useful, but wrong. Your definition of NTR is both wrong and useless.
NTR just means you're getting your girl seduced or corrupted away from you, whether your gf or just any other romantic or platonic female relation. A slutty girlfriend who cheats on you on her own without being seduced isn't NTR because no one is stealing anything from you.
Your bestfriend having sex with his girlfriend isn't NTR because no one is stealing from you. It's just plain voyeurism, the jealousy is on you.
First, let's clarify:
First, as I already stated, IF, as in the case in THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, you CAN avoid Vanessa fucking the other guy, but YOU, THE PLAYER, CHOOSE to allow her to fuck other guys, then that is not NTR. Because you, the player, are still in control of the situation and you have chosen to allow an open relationship etc.Definition:
Although the term netorare can be quickly translated as "cuckolding," its definition is much more broad than that. That's because, in English, "cuckolding" only refers to a man's wife cheating on him with another guy. The cheated man labelled "cuckold."
In Japanese, netorare refers the act of someone "being taken (...to someone else's bed)." The genre can include a man's wife cheating on him, a woman's husband cheating on her. It can be their girlfriend, boyfriend. They don't even need to be actually dating: it could be somebody's childhood friend whom they never mustered the courage to ask out.
In fact, since the gist of it is just: character A has some feelings for character B, then character C comes and takes them away, it could be A's hot teacher that was taken away by someone. It could be their mother, father, daughter, son, sister, brother, etc. It's just a matter of framing the idea of them "being taken" by someone else.

But as for the other point, AGAIN, NOT THIS PARTICULAR CASE, but in general, as the other person was actually alluding to, that a female in the game that you're pursuing fucks another guy and you are powerless to stop it... THAT IS NTR.
Two different things. Just so we're clear. This case with Vanessa and Mario isn't because you can avoid it. That guy was wrong because he claimed it was unavoidable NTR when it wasn't. They just made the wrong choice in the game, but there are options to say no, and still get to bang the girl upstairs etc.
But as for the case that many around here deny is NTR, the more general case of the sexual/romantic interest you're pursuing in the game fucking someone else and you being powerless to stop it... THAT IS NTR. Again, this isn't rocket science. If you're playing a game where you sexually/romantically pursue women through your avatar, and suddenly one of the women you're pursuing fucks another guy and you are powerless to stop it, that is NTR, whether you like it or not, and whether the author intended it or not. Because it's the situation you, the player, have been put in. I'll try to clarify below.
Fapping to Frozen isn't a valid comparison here because you're not being setup in the position of a male character in the movie pursuing the female character romantically and sexually. Further, and perhaps vitally, in the game you're not a passive observer either, you're put in the role of having actual agency, to make choices that are supposed to feel like you're choosing the direction of the narrative, that it's supposed to be going the way YOU, THE PLAYER desire.
So to suddenly have that feeling of you being in control of the romantic/sexual pursuit of specific objects of your desire in the game... and then be slapped in the face by having that control subverted, and your object of desire to be fucked by someone else and you powerless to stop it... THAT IS THE NTR.
Again, I'm sorry if you don't understand that, but that is what it is, and it's why so many people around here hate it when it happens. Because of the nature of the medium in question. The video game where you are supposed to be in control of the narrative and experiencing it by proxy through your avatar in the game.
