I see no way in which the dialogue and injuries come into play here, and with the whimpering, sure it may sound questionable without context, but it is literally a game where you get injured a ton, and the whimpering only happens when you get hurt or are in pain. Plus, expies are LITERALLY a species made by splicing human, dog, and rat DNA, of course they're going to whimper.
also whimpering doesnt mean pleasure???? idk why whimpering is considered a "sexual" thing when its a noise made when feeling discomfort or pain.. i legit never even crossed the fact that this game can be considered a "fetish" game, legit when i started and in the tutorial the expie whimpered i got so sad becuase he was in pain, it kinda says more about you than the creator edit : i realised that only one time the expies "like" the pain is when they are depressed as shit and they hurt them selfs
I don't think this is a fetish game, but I do see what they mean
It's a weird thing to say, but I do have experience with talking to people that have odd fetishes, and so I can maybe explain ops thought process
First things first, fetishes revolving injury and torture do not have to, and often do not, include anything sexual. Whimpering from pain can be a turn on to those people, crying for injury can be a turn on, bleeding, broken bones, ect. Reacting to being hurt is the same as a the common man reacting to pleasure, if you have a fetish that includes that kind of pain.
I don't think this game is genuine torture porn, but I want to make sure you aren't misunderstanding the point that op is making here
