Everybody have different tastes and kinks. I'm very consistent in my criticisms. In my view, anything sexual should be optional, it is more inclusive that way. You can go back and read my all of my previous posts on this website if you want/don't believe me, they are more or less about the same thing.
You can trivialize that scene all you want, it is still forced content.
You, as a lesbian, like seeing dicks? Good for you, I don't. Realistically speaking you probably just don't care about it but I do.
You can disagree with me it's fine, lesbians are not a monolith we can have different opinions.
I personally think it not controversial to expect no dicks (I have no problem if it's optional) in a lesbian game but the more time I'm spending on this website, I'm slowly realizing that the lesbian community is almost as dick craze(<-- hyperbole) as all the "straight" men complaining about lesbian content and asking for "more dicks and less pussy".
It's good that you clarified that was hyperbole, I was tempted to question you whether you were implying that the lesbian community is overwhelmingly bisexual or full of chasers... except of course hyperbole implies there's a basis, and the basis here'd be... people being ok with non-op trans women in lesbian games? Games having both lesbian and straight content? Like, what are you saying? (Is that really what you want to say?)
Optionality is a good idea, in the abstract. It's not really feasible for everything in every game or even good storytelling - it means everything needs to be player-initiated or signposted and means a lot of stuff is just impossible (prior relationships for one). I'm an even bigger fan of content declarations (or tags or content warnings or whatever else you wanna call them) - I was a teenage exocolonist (non-adult game) is a great example of implementing that, with broad overall warnings, that you could then zoom in on with more explicit contextualizations and explanations (what kind of violence is done by whom to who). More games should do that! Almost none do, and faulting a lesbian game for that while ignoring every other game...
Barring those detailed declarations (that I advise!), we work with expectations. With a game in 2025, two female side characters kissing should be within expectations. If that upsets you, that's on you (may I suggest therapy? Or the countless things you'd rather do, except posting here
). In an adult game, walking in on someone masturbating... uh, oof, actually, whatever.
And here's the crux of the matter - if it had been a cis lesbian, you wouldn't really have been upset, right? Would you really complain if your main character in a lesbian game non-optionally walked in on a love interested flicking her bean? Like,
honestly?
If you don't want to see a penis in an adult game, that's fine. ASK! "Hey, so this game is tagged lesbian, but has a futa/trans tag, are all dicks optional? I mean not just intercourse, but everything" - you'll probably get some dipshit responses, but fuck them. And yes, be clear - fucking and walking in on somebody are extremely differerent things, for most people. And lesbian doesn't mean cis-lesbian. If you think it should 1. it shouldn't, 2. at least be clear that you think that, don't hide it.
Failing the clarification of expectations, yeah, you'll be treated like the dipshits triggered by two women kissing. Cause lesbian means being a woman attracted to women, which includes trans women. My condolences.
(Like, seriously: I can understand the impulse, but: Is what you're writing really what you want to say?)
