Though that being said my real issue with NTR is sneaking NTR, let me explain. A game that has a lot of potential gets its first release or an early release, with no mention of NTR, or even explicitly stating there will be none. The dev later changes paths because of donations to the project, and sneaks in NTR content, whether optional or not. I am all for NTR existing, there is obviously a very vocal group who loves it, and they should get their cake too, but it sort of feels like just chasing coin when it's added to a project after the game has been developed for some time.
I think a project should have a clear focus from the beginning and stick to it, for me this argument is about quality, you start to dilute the quality of storytelling when you just try to appease people with fetishes just to "broaden" your market.
I get what you're saying. That happens with the gay tag. There's an absurd number of games here that includes femboy/sissy content, which awards them the gay tag. I've seen gay players complaining about this (and let's not talk about how useless is to use the gay tag here, on F95, to find gay focused games), that they click on a game just to find 99.99% hetero content and just one or two scenes with a femboy/sissy. It came to a point that some of them directly rejects any femboy/sissification content at all.
I guess that you don't find funny to stumble across famboy/sissification scenes at all either.
And while true, maybe some devs chase the coin after certain kinks (as some years ago, when everyone included incest in some way or form in their games, even it made no sense at all), I offer you a counterpoint: Many of us have certain kinks, so we may want to have one or two scenes of said kink in our game. Making one dedicated game to THAT kink is not viable financially or have enough audience, so they choose to include 1 or 2 scenes of said kink into their game, because, eh, it's a kink of them but not as much as a fetish to obsess them about it. I would go fucking crazy trying to do focused game to every kink I have.
It happens with my game and the trans content. I have one scene (I'm thinking on adding another one) with a transexual man, which awarded me vaginat sex tag and the trans/futa useless tags. Do I want them? OF COURSE NOT, but due to how rules are here, I got those two dreaded tags. Gays aren't fond of seeing vaginas, even within a very masculine hairy and bearded guy, because, well, they're gays. What I did was, not only making it optional, but to warn the player in advance about it so they avoid it. While there are a few gays that "may" enjoy that content (like me) the vast majority won't.
Sometimes is not possible to have a list of what kinks may or may not appear at the initial launch. What devs should do, is to make better ways to warn players about the content and have methods of skipping it. That's my policy.
Now, if you want to sklp a game only for one or two X scenes, you're free to do so. It's not my way of thinking though, as long as it's avoidable and clear to avoid or not, I won't skip an otherwise enjoyable game just for one or two scenes.
This may apply to NTR, Gay, and any other divisive tag. In my personal opinion, at first I thought it was an interesting kink, but the more I went in, the more tasteless it became. So I gave up that idea, even though in my description I've said I would include it eventually. I won't. Someday I'll update that.
its completely fine to cheat rape whatever if it's you doing it. I've seen comments sometimes about removing agency being something that makes them angry. So that comes back to self inserting I guess. But yeah there's many factors at play for sure
