I think you underestimate how important voice acting is to a game that features it.

your sister going full yandere and saying she'll kill you if you cheat on her.

The whole "marriage implies consent" thing does make it seem like its an issue of consent which is a big issue in the US lately where you have to fill out forms before having sex at colleges

There are many reasons to not buy a game. Why should someone care if Wildikdog says it's a horrible reason, it's up to them at the end of the day.

After having thought this out a bit more, I'm still going to sit out on Fates. Sure, the petting mechanic is still there for married couples, but in the end, I'm still paying for less content with with the mini-game stripped out (well, that and the magic potion scene). Perhaps that won't matter to some that still plan to buy the title, but for myself, buying it would be equivalent to throwing money down the black hole.

Well you do you man. But personally I don't understand why you think there's less content in the game. They took out a mini-game about touching a character's face and that automatically counts as enough content that the game has been ruined? I would understand if they reduced the game's story time, removed music, censored all the characters, etc.

But losing a character petting feature in a game about fantasy, adventure, and strategy fighting? That's what ruins the game? Are we that petty of a community!?

Well, isn't deriding other peoples opinion of what they consider important in their purchasing decisions quite petty also.

We are not a hive mind. For some people the more Japanese aspects of the game are important, others are more creator centric, some want the standard RPG flavor, and still others may consider other features or aspects to be important.

Still this slow drip of controversy, censorship, and indecision doesn't make the release look all that appealing.

And don't get me wrong, I'm on the stance that those who are really boycotting the game for the removal of the petting feature to be at best the vocal minority and they will always make sure their desires are known.
