There is no such a thing ''Its his game and of course he can do anyting he wants!'' thats most cringy argument you can ever use... Of course its his damn game! But this doesn't mean he can do anyting he wants, its game meant to be played by other people, if you dont listen people play your game you should make private game for only yourself and play. If someting made for other people this mean maker should have listen other people wishes and should consider aswell.
So yes he can do things he want because its his game, you dont even need to say this because its damn cringy when you say someting that crystal clear... But this doesnt mean he should dont give and damn F about his players. He could have add choice option for being FEMDOM or not. Its not damn rocket science... I'm not just talking about DEV adding being DOM to Ophelia or being FEMDOM to her, he didn't even add choice to tell her ''no'' and its damn so basic thing, instead of forcing people his own content he could add damn ''No'' and it could give good feeling we have little control over story as a MC which is why people play games and not watch damn porn -_-
Honestly it's too early to cry "Forced Femdom!" at this stage, I'm not a fan either but WWG has implemented it with a light touch, compared to a
lot of other femdom scenes in other games. As it was stated earlier this isn't counter to Ophelia's character either, WWG dropped some pretty big hints during the book club scenes, and the bathroom scene made it pretty clear that Ophelia
snapped. Her life is out of control and Sterling made a forced advance on her against her wishes, in an environment she already knows is not normal or "right". Sterling made it clear he wasn't going to stop, so she coped the only she could by taking control, I'm pretty sure this was in her mind the only way not to lose it completely.
As was also touched on earlier, Sterling has been gradually changing and becoming more and more like Hunter. At the beginning of the game he was slightly wimpy, timid and wouldn't have dreamed of engaging in any kind of sexual antics with the other characters. Now he's buff, confident, assertive and kind of predatory in his behaviour. Ophelia's scenes may be femdom for now, but that's not to say Sterling might not end up turning the table back to his favour. We'll just have to wait and see.
