Can someone explain why adding back the (skippable) male option is so offensive? I'm more into hetero content and really like the premise. The only reasonable explanation is dev time, which, ok fair, but I kind of doubt that's got people this riled up.
IMO this game was more designed for the male gaze anyway based on the exaggerated bodies (though if there are any lesbians here for this specific game power to you, would be interesting to know).
As for GreenDark and the poll results, a majority of respondents want a male character (57%) and a separate majority want a female character (79%), while no single result (except pregnancy) won an outright majority. This type of poll is super complicated and brings up questions of how to interpret results much like that of an election with more than two candidates (ranked choice, instant runoff, etc.). I'd expect that an overwhelming portion of the male only respondents would have "both" as their second choice in a runoff.
