it was a fair question man, don't worry about it. people on this forum are really weird about anything that's perceived as a criticism. I'm honestly surprised there's not a fan patch for those kinds of things, it may have to do with how the game is coded and how much work it'd be. The other games have been more explicit about the characters being not blood related, in this game it seems like it'd be the easiest to change, the characters themselves even joke about it e.g. 'tee hee stop calling me sis I'm your step sis' // ok fine i'll call you ''bro'' step-bro". (my vague recollection of the dialogue). I assume it'd be too annoying to go through all the code and change the language everywhere and nobody could be bothered. Alternatively, maybe it'd break the game, e.g. cheat mods tend to break the game as Bob doesn't like people cheating. As for the dev, in their position I wouldn't even play around with making a patch myself, Bob has a good funding situation going on and it'd be super silly to jeopardize that.
Actually, this raises a question, I have no idea how patreon handles these things but I could imagine that even a fan patch not made by the dev could get the dev in trouble. Someone could just send a screenshot with e.g. text labelling characters as underage and/or blood related, and that could be enough for patreon to take action , even if it's not at all the fault of the dev. So again, in the position of the dev, I wouldn't take any chances.
