It happens. As a community gets larger, more and more people come into it with their own experience and it's up to a vet or someone to calm them down and smack them with reality.
That can help the dev learn how to appeal to an audience while also showing how informed the audience is of references and such.
I think this is a great
perspective on harems that I found through one of the regulars in another part of the forums. But every now and then, you gotta put the new people through their paces as they do have to be informed on what's good and what's bad or they may run with those bad notions and hit a brick wall.
The bit in that perspective post when it comes to swinging/sharing... is just stupid.
I can get that lots of people into Harem don't want it. But taking in cuckoldry etc into it? Yeh... that's just dumb.
It also gets into "alpha" bullshit which is just that. Bullshit. A theory about wolves that used wolves in captivity and even the original writer has rescinded it because it was flawed. Alpha Cuck then... gets just stupid.
Do some people who engage in sharing do it from a cuckoldry perspective? Absolutely! But I'd argue it's not the main drag or idea.
The reason I'm into MFM is because I know I'd only disappoint two women in a MFF scenario. Meanwhile in MFM I and someone else could satisfy the hell out of one woman.
Just as an anecdotal example that just goes right above his
If the girl is into fucking others your MC is a cuck
Idiocy.
But that post also seems have the perspective that the LIs in a harem shouldn't have relationships with each other, only MC and be Okay with MC having the others unless MC is involved.
Which is one of the parts in many harem games I like the least honestly.
I personally find that guide... a guide to make a very boring and cookie cutter game. And in general just vanilla as hell but with MC is allowed to cheat on LIs with other LIs but they must be faithful trope.
Even if I personally dislike how harem is used in English, and many European languages, as it pretty much just meant "family quarters".
The people allowed in were those trusted to be around family, wife(wives), kids, etc.
