Please don't ever feel sorry for how YOU want a character to be! They're wanting to self-insert and it's their way or the highway. These brats are the same ones to demand pronoun changes in *Otome* games, knowing that they're literally maiden games. Where you're a woman who captures male love interests!
They whinged so hard that another Dev had to spoil a heavy plot moment in their game, to appease the whingers. I don't like VNs that cop out of using pronouns but do you see me demanding the very feminine MC have "she/her" pronouns features? No, I just skip the game i.e don't download or purchase it OR I give an honest review on how well or bad the other features of the game were.
I'm sorry this happened. 😭😭😭
