It's pretty useless to argue about tastes, in my experience. And I suggested to add a filter, so that all the parties can be happy. That way nothing kills my boner, and nothing kills yours. A win-win. I do understand that bush-loving folk need no filter, as current default is what you prefer. But there is no harm for your party if one is added, is there?
There's a ton of stuff in human anatomy and cosmetics that is "supposed to be there" that we, humanity, prefer removed or altered. Nails length and form, hair length and form, facial hair length and form, armpits hair. Then, lot's of stuff is natural yet we don't want to see it (in a close up, no less) when we fap. Pissing, shitting, burping, farting, acne, etc. So the "what's natural is always the way to go" does not exactly works with us, humans. Especially with the plurality of preferences in our heads.
I'll agree that majority of models in AVNs are shaved. But nowhere close to 99%. You're peeved with shaved privates so you notice them more, I'm peeved with hairy ones so I notice them more. Yet I try to restrain myself and not go on and on about how unattractive it is to me, and that the devs all around the world "should just stop with that madness!". I think that being respectful/tolerant is the way to go. And there's an easy prospective solution here that leaves no victims.
Your point on it being 1980s is valid. Which is why I wouldn't mind leaving the hairy variant as default.
But... again, I would still prefer to avoid suffering through witnessing some bushy snatches. It just rubs me the wrong way. So if a filter were to be added - I'd welcome it and use it. Even if you are right, and a shaved 30+ lady in 1980s is way less likely than an unshaved one.
I mean, people in nowadays Asia have this unsettling (to me and people like me) tradition/culture, with avoiding the razor. Like, "only prostitutes shave, I'll never get married if I do that"... or something. Which is half the reason why I almost never watch real asian porn (second half is that they screech moan like they're being tortured with a knife). And I often frawn whenever I have to click through hairy anime-style cunts (which are abundant, even if less so than in real world asian smut).
If, as you say, it's too much work, and the dev agrees with that, then sure. I won't throw a hissy fit here about him declining to implement aforementioned filter. Like I said, that was more of a nitpicking on my part. Stomaching hairy pussies is, at least, easier than enduring unwelcome waterworks and scat (and these are always unwelcome with me).
I'll look up Emma from Malignant, don't think I'm familiar with it. I do enjoy a "done 1 hour ago" variants, but not when 100% of characters non stop have it. Looks fake and doll-like. Some diversity and realism are welcome, in my book.
