Okay, we're gonna have to dwell on this one, because the lengths that you'd go to in order to defend Koda's shitty writing are frankly ridiculous.
"The girls are personification of fetishes"
I'd like to see any indication of this being anything other than your opinion, because I'm pretty sure that most people wouldn't see the ToT villainesses this way,
at all.
If the girls from ToT were actually all supposed to embody different fetishes then I feel like it would be reasonable to expect that this would be the case for each of them:
1. The fetish that they're the personification of should be readily apparent just from looking at them (this is only the case for Khulan if you assume barbarian fetish, and Eliza if you assume nun fetish)
2. Their content should completely revolve around that fetish, and two characters shouldn't overlap in the kind of content that they have (literally every character has some kind of variation of the same kind of content in this game, when you're sniffing Khulan's heels you might as well be sniffing Scarlett's because there's no fucking difference in the writing or the scenes)
If you want to convince me that the girls are each supposed to be the
personification of a certain fetish, then explain why 1. and 2. are true for each and every one of them, or find a direct quote from Bo or Koda saying that that was their intention. I'll wait.
Then there's also the fact that some of the girls are stuff that Bo unceremoniously ripped off from other media, like

. Or are you also gonna argue that "Sister Eri" was supposed to be the personification of some fetish in that Msize game she's from too?
Now the much more likely explanation: Boda had a different
theme in mind for every girl that they were in the process of creating. No shit, but this is a lot different from the girls being the embodiment of said theme. When I (and I assume most people) think of a being that is the personification of something else, what immediately comes to mind are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or the Seven Deadly Sins as they are protrayed in various media. When I think "character that was made with a theme in mind"... I think of a shit ton of characters from all over the place.
And even
if your interpretation was true, saying that because they are meant to be personifications of fetishes that they'd need to be one-dimensional is a total non sequitur. If the fetishes that they are meant to represent aren't one-dimensional, because rarely anything in life is, then there's no reason for the characters themselves to be one-note. This is just a poor excuse for poor writing.
My point was that if it was just Ethan then it would've been okay, but everyone in ToT's world can learn any fucking technique like it's nothing. Everyone is Mew and the Avatar.
Mew is cute though, I love that little space cat.
