"Under this scenario, your statement would be asserting that the purpose of the disclaimer is to prevent people bigoted against the LGBTQ+ community from using the game as ammunition against the LGBTQ+ community.

However, bigots will do whatever they can to run such smear campaigns, even claim that LGBTQ+ inclusive children's books that are 100% safe for work are literally porn being shown to children by force. That is not a hypothetical absurdist example either, that is something that has literally happened, with no exaggeration."

By that logic, than there would be no point to the disclaimers really if it doesn't actually stop bigots from playing the game, only for the creator, Aika, to not have a guilty conscious than.

No, by that logic I prove that you do not know the purpose of the disclaimers. Just because you do not know the purpose does not mean there is no purpose.

In reality, the purpose is to warn people ahead of time what they might encounter in the game, and decide for themselves if they still want to play it.

For example, lets say that someone has actually been raped, and they are into kinky fantasy transformation scenarios as a way to reclaim their trauma for themselves.. But they still have PTSD from the idea of those transformation scenarios being forced on someone against their will. For them, if it's not consented to in-world, it can literally trigger a trauma-induced fight-or-flight panic mode.

The disclaimer is there to warn such people that such content is in the game. They can read the disclaimer, see that something in the game might trigger their PTSD, and decide not to play the game.
