You submitted a game to an adult game jam that had a hypnosis theme and got a comment from someone who stated to have a massive phobia of the theme of the game they very deliberately chose to play and got angry at people who enjoy the game.

I'm really sorry to butt in here but this guy is talking about me specifically and I do not appreciate the mischaracterization.

Your only "mistake" was to try and make a little bit more than just porn.
Even if this game was giving us an unhealthy perspective,
whoever comes to an adult game and thinks that the content should first and foremost be psychologically educational does not have the maturity to play such a game.
There are games that go out of their way to show us the perspective of actual villains and even justify and glorify their motives and that is OKAY, we are not supposed to assemble our personality out of a variety of fictional characters we read about, such works are there to challenge our thinking.

Nobody will walk away from this game thinking "Oh, I really should have more empathy with my abusers, they surely have a good reason."

It's good to tell people exactly what they're getting into if you upload a game with sensitive content, but please don't let comments like this stifle you in the future.

Oh no to be perfectly clear I didn't think for a second that you were condoning actual abuse. I know this was made in a time limit and deals with really sensitive stuff.  Like I said the main thing that shook me was the takeaways in some of the other comments but while the writing wasn't perfect about making it clear that Erx's situation doesn't make what they're doing any better and that Yumi's guilt about leaving is *hers* and not... the narrative's, if that makes any sense, it really shouldn't have to be. 
I need to stress that apart from that I think that this was actually really well done, and that I never got the feeling that those mixed messages were intentional. 
I wanted to get things down while my emotions and thoughts were still fresh and then I tried to cap it off with clarification that I wasn't upset with you or accusing you of anything and more just pointing out an unfortunate way the writing could be read that I was afraid some others may have gone with.  I think that I probably should have gone back and interspersed some more assurances of that throughout though and I apologize for not doing so.
