The general idea I believe is that NTR means "Netorare" for majority of westerners, in reality its just the tag for the genre of Netori/Netorase/Netorare, I am not gonna get into the A B C variations by VNDB because to be honest thats all crap, all you need are 3 categories nothing more.It should be noted that this just goes for western sites, which have developed a pretty cuck centric definition of NTR. Female POV NTR has always been a thing in Japan, the country where the genre actually originates from. In fact, the majority of japanese NTR hentai has fem MCs.
That's why the term has become pretty useless in discussions on western forums: You have people who straight up don't consider classic NTR stories to be actually NTR, while others consider everything NTR where a female character interacts with another male that's not the MC, and be it in the most casual way.
When its a female MC I agree that it should just be "cheating", you have to remember the point of NTR titles is to showcase and illicit feelings of jealousy/betrayal/anger, when your game does that you have been successful. When I see a female MC being a slut, that does nothing for my emotions, its just a girl being slutty which is why I feel cheating better fits the tag for games of that nature Anna's Exciting Affection/Lily of the Valley/Sarah's Life/Hardnews Julia.
The only reason media/hentai is able to get away with this is because we dont take a more personal role in the media, we are just viewers watching a show so theres only so deep we can go, but in games we are more so in control and thats where the NTRPG's/Thug Hero Party/Henteria Chronicles/Tyrant/Culture Shock work so well in establishing that emotion.
