Exactly - right now there is zero romance in the game, and I wouldn't even call the girls waifus at this point given the nature they have exhibited so far (hopefully it will change) - it's currently just an open, fuck everything world for the girls. Zero relationships, zero emotional attachment, and as you and others have noted, some people are into that - they want attachment, relationship development, romance, etc. not to see a female character they're getting attached to talking about how she took a pounding by multiple dudes in a brothel a few years back, or how much she enjoys taking her work on Mantics home with her for playtime.Yes, it's fictional. People cried while watching Spirited Away, and that's also fiction.
You can't rationalize this stuff; viewers will always self-insert and sympathize with fictional characters.
You're right people don't cry about tentacle hentai. But that's because works with tentacles are heavily advertised as such. Every doujin with tentacles will have them front and center, so people know what to expect. If you have a vanilla romcom work then suddenly it ended with tentacle rape on your love interest, 100% sure there will be endless bitching in the comments.
The problem is Studio FOW advertised their game as "waifu collector." Some peeps enjoy seeing their waifus defiled, others are more protective. But the existence of complaints meant that some people surely felt misled about what's in the game.
I'm not surprised there's tentacle/beastiality crap (since it's Studio FOW), but not every casual on Steam would know this. They see waifu collector porn game and go "Oh neat, time to romance some waifus." Then the waifu they're chasing mentions how last night was so awesome with a certain eldritch abomination and yeah, cue them saying "fuck this cuckold shit."
I don't actually care for quantity of scenes... I just want them well-integrated into the story for more sensuality and character-developing. Character randomly being anal-drilled on a table means nothing without proper context. Subverse can have five scenes total for every character and I wouldn't care, so long as they have leadup and are FAPPABLE.
I still really like Zimon's idea from an earlier post on this page about giving options for the player that would affect the type of content in the game and the things that the girls do. The biggest issue outside of Pandora (and the bad porn) to this point is how SFOW tried to check every box at once, and when you try to make everybody happy, you generally end up making nobody happy. I think some folks have given good suggestions on how to fix things. Just gotta hope SFOW listens.
