I feel like you're misrepresenting my position here, as well as info you get from the game itself regarding Deb's relationship with Carl. First of all I don't hate that Deb is dominant, I wouldn't have gone her route if that bothered me. What I said was that the femdom escalates from relatively light stuff to quite heavier themes quickly into territory mild to moderate femdom enthusiasts might have trouble enjoying.How can you claim to like the character when you specifically hate what the character is?
I don't have much interest in Deb's path as I've posted before, but she shouldn't change. Deb is who she is, if she wasn't so dominant why would there even have been an issue with Carl, her fiancee, who she got along so well with outside of the bedroom? That's a core part of her character. Toning down her femdom kills her character completely and removes the strength of her character and uniqueness. It weakens the writing and cheapens the authenticity and realistic feeling of the game setting. In real life we don't get to just change people to what we want them to be, sometimes we just aren't compatible, there might be some subtle changes over time here and there but people won't just completely change and be happy with that. To insist Deb give up her dominant streak because she's too much to handle for some players goes against the entire narrative around her. If that was really the solution, then she should have just done that for Carl, and been unhappy. This is her core character struggle and trait.
As for her relationship with Carl, to me it seems like he isn't into femdom at all based on his scenes. If you let Deb dominate you he just complains he wants Deb to fuck you (instead of her being in control of the action). And if you bull Deb he clearly loathes the idea of chastity (calling it "ridiculous"). So at this point it really isn't clear that Deb has extreme tendencies, just that Carl isn't into the idea of entry level stuff like face sitting. Additionally the cuckolding stuff seems more for Carl's benefit than Deb's as she mentions several times she would prefer monogamy, so she was already kind of compromising for his benefit and he was still unhappy. That is a WAY different situation than her relationship with MC, who is into at least trying femdom, and certainly enjoys some parts of it.
I certainly never suggested that Deb give up her dominant streak, that would be tragic indeed, merely that she try to work with MC to see what things he's enjoying the most within the context of femdom so they're both happy. Basic communication stuff, that's all. Unlike with Carl MC is definitely a fan of some things Deb likes so they have a much better foundation to build off of. But again, I think something like that is a more reasonable expectation if they have a frequent, official relationship compared to their rather spur of the moment encounters thus far, all of which start with MC trying to cheer up or comfort Deb, so he's not really approaching it from a personal enjoyment viewpoint to begin with. I also really don't feel it would weaken the writing or her authenticity to have a conversation like that, she's already been shown to be very considerate to MC! She also has relatively large incentive to make sure MC is happy with the intimate encounters as she has already lamented how hard it is to find a submissive guy and MC is really trying, on top of being an overall nice dude to her. He was clearly dismayed by the ruined orgasm and her denial of traditional sex, so it's not just me saying I don't like it, MC clearly has some regrets too. Do you really feel like Deb is so stubborn that she can't have thoughts like "hmm MC was sad I didn't let him orgasm last time, he's served me properly recently so I'll make him cum his brains out with my feet, or a facesitting handjob or -insert femdom fetish-". I mean it's literally written into her kinks that she is kind to people she cares about and rewards good behavior. It would not be hard at all for her to put together some femdom stuff she knows MC would enjoy as an act of kindness or a reward for maybe going out of his comfort zone a little. I find it really hard to believe she is only willing to accept a partner that completely transcends personal gratification altogether.
Finding the right way to balance 2 options would be pretty hard though as what people consider vanilla vs extreme varies wildly. For me personally I would enjoy a variation where the MC gets off properly, at least most of the time. A lot of femdom goes in that direction anyways where they frame it as getting the receiver addicted to the pleasure only they can provide, rather than what we've seen recently which is extreme denial of pleasure. Like if Deb gave you such a mind blowing orgasm with her thighs after not cumming for 2 weeks at her behest, MC might willingly accept wearing chastity afterwards since its connected to the pleasure. Or we got the fake "sex" scene in ch5, she was already rubbing her ass on your dick a bit, she could have finished you off. She still gets to tease you about not fucking her for real but at least you satisfied her and got a buttjob out of it so not really big deal to complain about in my books. At that point she already got off too so I don't see it seriously affecting her enjoyment. Doesn't have to be all the time either, that surprise ruined orgasm out of nowhere isn't really a deal breaker for me, its that she is basically saying you will never get a normal orgasm again that pushes it into the "hard to enjoy" category.
