I think that this post would benefit from some context.Now, that Anna/Morwen is not a valid reason and it is biased.
As for changing sex of characters, I am obviously not talking about the ones that cannot be changed without a lot of work! (Unless there was someone willing to put in said work) I am talking about small stuff, and these changes would only be OPTIPONAL for people who want to. Toggles like silly mode for people who really would like it, and would prefer to play the game with more males than females in the roster. If such an option was available, I am sure that the audience of the game would shift and there would be more people attracted to males giving the game a go.
Adding variability is a lot of work. It exponentially increases the difficulty and time spent both writing and editing content. One can easily see 1700 words of coded content shrink to 500 or fewer in game, as many of the words are added in the form of parsers that only applies to certain situations. Furthermore, parsers break up writing, and even with effective visualization tools and testing, they make it much more difficult to evaluate written content holistically. Committing oneself to that level of work for something that doesn't interest one as a writer is foolishness. It leads to shitty, half-assed content, or to content with extremely high time opportunity cost. It is not easy.
Even including a few minor TFs for a character dramatically increases variability. Changing that character's sex and gender - their pronouns, their body, potentially their personality - is a colossal ask. I mean, there's a reason that there's really only one such character in-game right now, and that's Brint/Brienne. wsan puts in a ton of work to make sure that both Brint and Brienne have plenty of support; asking the same for a passel of dickgirl characters would be deeply unrealistic. If somebody wants to put in that work for their character, well, that's awesome. Not many are. And many are actually quite strongly opposed to making such dramatic changes to a character that they already conceived as someone else.
Now, yeah, there's a minority of players (a small minority, per the Patreon poll today) crying out for guy dick, and we - I'm one of them - have been doing it for awhile. But the best way to get those guys in the game is to make new guys, not try to bolt dude-ification onto existing dickgirls and futas. It is, I guarantee you, much less actual work and frustration.
