Since I cannot quote that monster of a post, Steve, I'll just point out a few things here.
First thing, H is an element in certain visual novels. Only in nukige is it ever the focus. MuvLuv Alternative would have been better without the H, Chaos;Head has no H, Steins has no H and I think G-Senjou and Sharin no Kuni would have been far better stories without it. I really do not think H should be a draw. It should be what someone is looking for if they want it (More All-Age alternatives would be nice) and should be able to get if they do not. I think VN's are an amazing story telling medium and a beautiful character developer, and I think that the obsessive need (to the point where developers would tack on H-scenes in order to get sales) for sex scenes is really harming the model as a whole. It's why I hate MangaGamers flood of Nukige despite the reasoning behind it.
Although, you have a point when it comes to SoL moege. The goal would indeed to have sex with one of the girls at the end (sometimes randomly in the middle!) and I think that it's quite the draw for that certain type of visual novel. Especially for one like this. MoeNovel didn't just remove a 'bit of H.' They chunked out a huge portion of the VN's draw for a lot of the original fanbase and to be frank a lot of the actual game. It's only a carcass of it's original self. So, I'm still a bit torn here.
Second thing, on the off-chance this succeeds, this would benefit the visual novel market. I think, anyways. More money flowing into the scene is nice and we'd get more funding. I hope MoeNovel doesn't make a habbit of hacking up 18+ titles, mind, but besides that, this would help bring the market up. The market and scene we have isn't working. It's barely afloat. And the community is astoundingly toxic towards everything and anything related to visual novels. Something NEEDS to give.
I'd probably feel a bit differently if JAST or MangaGamer was doing this, mind you, but this is a new company and they are trying to do something here. And it's got quite a lot of hype behind it so far. I really don't want to see more butchering of original 18+ VN's though. It's not a good thing to make a habbit out of.
