Thank you for all your thoughts! You address various points I deem quite relevant for HH myself.

I agree the stimulation model in HH could be more sophisticated, although that's not a high priority atm. But more to your point: I don't like to depict discomfort, and much less pain or harm, in my artworks about sexuality, so HH players will likely never get the freedom of that choice. My Haiku are not about pain, but only about the question of "how, and how much, pleasure?".

Now objectification, I trust you agree, is a core ...objective in BDSM culture, where Subs routinely enjoy turning themselves into the willing play-things of their Dom partners, so we are really only talking about the consent part, correct?

I am considering to have HH disclaimers feature statements addressing these topics.

For more detailed discussion I wanna invite you to join the HH discord .

I completely agree with your values when it comes to how we depict sexuality as artists. Exactly to that point - my criticisms were more so considering how we're being introduced/primed by art we consume to interpret tomorrow's real life situations and act in them.  As a game on its own merit, the only thing that I found lacking in some haikus was the lack of clearer visual cues. 

The rest was more feedback on the responsibility of using a medium to send (implicit or explicit) messages and its implications on real-life problems. I still think that (as a medium) your game nudges the genre in the right direction, hopefully others take inspiration and learn from it.

I'll consider joining Discord, haven't used it in a while. I'll for sure keep you in mind when I reactivate it :)
