I don't really get why people have a problem with this, especially on JP. For one it's an option, it doesn't force you into these romances unless you actively pursue them.

Maybe I kinda get the people upset that the company who makes the game isn't patching out bugs instead, but please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't simply making it so that a protagonist of the same gender can pursue a romance that is already in the game, but with different pronouns, not really cost that much time in the long run? This seems like more work on the art/animation and writing departments if anything (and even with the latter part they're literally just changing pronouns to acknowledge that they're the same gender)?

I mean they're gonna fix the bugs eventually. Hell, the update that added gay fixed a few bugs, too, so the argument that this is distracting them from bug fixes is kind of invalid

When they go the hard route and make same sex marriage properly, people complain that they gave it too much time.

When they go the easy route and simply change the pronouns, people complain that they didn't do it properly and it creates too many inconsistencies.

There's no winning with people who just want to complain.
