1) Men, don't try to mansplain away issues with the picture from the ending spoiler. It's obviously a male wish fulfilment thing, trying to say it isn't is silly.
Obviously. But it is so hypocritical to bitch about when the forum openly supports polygamy and open relationships, to the point we have some users being pretty open about it even if it doesn’t concern anyone on the site.
The fact that is wishful fulfillment fantasy rings hollow when one of the regular posters, and an active RE mod, of WomenLookLikeSlutsOT3 has an avatar of two female cartoon characters kissing. Whatever that person is male, female or non binary, doesn’t matter because they gets “the feel” of having an avatar of their OP kissing.
I think I understand why they're angry. To them, male fantasies, whether that be a sexual fantasy or a power fantasy or whatever, are inherently "problematic." So any display of male fantasies in a positive or even neutral light is wrong, sexist, creepy and advances the patriarchy in their view. Even if said fantasies cover topics they agree with, like poly relationships, it's still "wrong" because men are involved. Now, LGBT and female fantasies are fine and good and right, since those are marginalized communities in ERA's view.
Also, notice how they're left to bitching mainly about mid-tier otaku games like JRPGs, visual novels, and obscure phone games in that thread for a long while now. The industry is already largely going in the direction they wanted. This game is the "biggest" game they can scream and complain about in a long time. Thread was slowly dying, so I'm sure a lot of that thread's regulars are glad they have new red meat to chew on.
