Note: None of this is coming from a place of offense; I am not trying to be mean, just trying to explain. Also, sorry if somethings don't make sense. 

What I'm understanding is that you are upset/uncomfortable about:

 1. Characters under the age of 18 having crushes on/feeling romantic feelings toward other characters under the age of 18

2. Male characters acting and talking in a manner that you perceive as "soft"/not stereotypically masculine 

3.  The game allowing non-heterosexual relationships (female characters having romantic feelings for other female characters, etc.,) 

4. The game allowing the player the option of creating a character that is intersex biologically or a character that identifies as neither male or female/nonbinary 

My question is; why play this game in the first place if all of that makes you uncomfortable? 

It's very clearly stated in the description of the game that you, as the player, can customize things like pronouns. If that kind of thing makes you uncomfortable/you don't like it, why play the game? I mean, the description of the game literally tells you that one of the main characters is nonbinary, which again, why would you play the game if that kind of thing upsets you?

Plus, all of the things you are upset about are normal things. Children/pre-teens/young teens having crushes on others in their age group is a completely normal and common experience. Plenty of men/male-people have soft personalities. Non-heterosexual people are everywhere and have existed for a while, same with non-cisgender/nonbinary people. 

Having said all of that, you are allowed to have your own opinions. You are allowed to think children having crushes on other children is weird, you're allowed to think men/male people behaving in a "soft"manner is weird, and you're allowed to think the existence of queer people is weird.  I'm not trying to change your opinions on any of these matters, just trying to explain.

Restating my question, why play the game in the first place if it contains multiple factors that will upset you? I understand having critiques for a game but it seems a little redundant to play and critique a game knowing there are numerous components to the game that you find uninteresting and uncomfortable. That  makes you biased and therefor, not the most reliable critic.

Additionally, your "critiques" aren't really critiques, you are just stating the things about the game that made you uncomfortable/angry. 

So for a third time I will ask; Why play the game if you know there are multiple things in the game that you won't like? 

Sorry this is so long
