If some authors have a right to create works with only gay romances, then other authors have the same right to create works with only straight romances (whatever their reasons)What I mean was that the scenes of PoMA allow for mods like Dan's to easily modify the game to allow same gender romance, now you might think that is because PoMA was created with the intent to allow such, but that would be wrong.
It is easier to allow it than to go to the trouble of Aura Clash's author of making multiple checks to make sure even if modding you can't just change a couple variables, this is not really about smut scenes either, given that by chapter 4 all of the smut could easily apply to the other gender and only the shirtless scenes (which aren't smut) could require a bit of editing.
Anon lied about being fine with the modding, that is all I'm saying, someone that is fine with modding wouldn't go to the extra trouble to make it more difficult, example: he makes it so that at the end of every chapter romance is reset if your gender is the same as the RO, but at the same time he always checks if the gender is the same not only for choices but also for any check, this two approaches do not benefit from each other, it just makes it so that anyone using the console can't modify it.
And about him changing it to spite others, it too is false. This game has been like this from long ago, how long ago was dashingdon brought down? About half a year? His code as can be seen in Dashingdon was like that at the time, so no, it wasn't due to a recent annoyance.
In short: this was done solely to make things harder for modders who wanted to allow this, this goes against his previous claims.
But anyways, if you are fine with that that is all, I am merely saying that not all he has said is true, I am not saying you can't like his IF, just that I have provided proof, and not everything he implies (a positive attitude towards modding, the same gender romance being just because of him being uncomfortable, the semi modded IF having been uploaded to cogdemos (yes, I am cross that he went ahead and said that given it is untrue, although I am far more dissapointed in people taking it for its worth and not reading that it was a mediafire link before posting it as fact).
There is literally modded version of Aura Clash with gay romances on cogdemos.ink (and its not being banned by cultivator-anon)
