Parody games at times can get caught up in the whole idea that they are a parody game and thus never actually cement any solid ideas or unique aspects, relying entirely on the idea of people playing it and going "haha parody reference original or cliche trope"
It depends on the day and game. Some games I will read through every line of a very extensive VN, others I wil start skipping straight from the intro because it just didn't gel with me in the first few lines. Takes a fair bit off the experience though.
I think the closest we have gotten in terms of a AAA porn game so far would be on the lines of Subverse, but the issue is if it goes any further then it starts to become more formulaic and less people making games because they want to make games they would want to play.
Most of the time the game will suffice, but I have had a fair few times where I ended up playing through a whole game just sorta, well existing as I played it and at the end realised I gotta go get my fill elsewhere now the starter is complete.
Not necessarily porn related but definitely can be, I was at least horny motivated with my purchases. But in essence have you ever went out of your way to spend money on something that you thought you would get a whole lot of use out of and then never used or used only once or the novelty...
Traps and femboys are fine with me so long as they at least mostly look like females but for some reason I don't like futa, maybe it is because a lot of the time they really ramp up the proportions with them.

VNs are a lot more tailored and made with a specific story in mind, sandbox games can feel diluted at times with their content because they want it to be as open as possible and some scenes just happen or repeat with minor variations so often they become annoying.
A bit of both. It has become a habit to just check websites to see what was uploaded recently and if it interests me I play it and then the egg follows the chicken. Some days I go hunting for a quick game though and the process reverses.
The only part of AI art I find overly unethical is when people pass off their AI art as their own handmade creations from models trained off other peoples hard work, there is massive skill difference between typing prompts and studying anatomy to make an accurate picture and when AI art creators...
I like AI art, if it is explicitally stating that it is AI art. I want to look at someones work and go "wow they put so much effort and skill into it" and not have to go "hmm did an AI make this". I want to enjoy both the creative freedom of AI and the skill expression of real art.
