For some odd reason GOG is blocking my responses to the gay man. They will not let me respond to him directly.

Alright, time to open this can of worms.
First of all, being a gay man, this kind of content is not made for you. Many male fans like exaggerated proportions, which occur in almost any anime or manga production. As I have stated, there are gay games in this nature which are very popular with the BL community. But this one - it isn't supposed to reflect reality as much as any other kind of fiction. Now there are women who have undergone surgeries to get their bodies to look like this, but normally this is not a real look. That's the point - it does not exist.
And you are one to talk about resistance. As far as I am concerned, eroge fans are now placed with the same levels of criticisms that fans of heavy metal and D&D were thrown at back in the eighties by the church. I lived through the nineties, I remember when Pokémon and Harry Potter were the devil. But you know what else was criticized? Being gay. If I recall correctly, being gay was the ultimate sin according to the church.
And I know you'll say, "you can't equate the kind of hardship the gay communities have faced with liking this kind of material."
And you know what my response is? Sure, you may have gotten termed with the f-slur and that is not appropriate, but if you have been looking at these boards you will notice people throwing around the term pedophile. Do you know what people do to people that they might consider pedophiles? Well, it would be the same sort of torture and murder that the gay community faced. That's when agents kick down your door and tell you to get your hands on the ground because someone called in a report.
We demand respect, just as we would give to the gay community who also enjoys these products. People like to throw around pedophile but it is not a word you take lightly. I know a man who is serving time for this. He needs to be in there and needs more time. I never want to see his face again.
The bottom line is that this needs to stop and Smollest Light, I think that you should edit or get rid of any comments that mention the term "underage" or "pedophile" as they are very dangerous terms to be throwing around in a computer game forum. I suggest the filters to prevent this content from showing up objectionably as well. We cannot get these filters soon enough. I have no idea why it takes so long, but adult content filtering should be your first priority. Everything else needs to go on the back burner until these filters get made. People like this gentleman should have never seen this content in the first place.
