I keep debating with myself about if I want to rejoin this one or not. I'll wait for some comment by Health first, I think.
I'll say again this can be done reasonably. Focus on the high school drama and sweetheart romance; avoid tentacles, harems and any hint of loli like the plague. Still not everyone's cup of tea, but safe for anyone not in Arabia.
Health was sleeping as that is what he likes to do at night. Were I not holding back the game with the theme, something which people didn't have a problem with until Kiwi pointed out his issues, or if we had more players, I'd keep it without a doubt. However seeing as multiple people have rescinded their joining of the game. I'll have a rethink of the theme.
Those who currently have something to say on this topic, you may now address your questions to me and stop arguing amongst yourselves. I didn't know that this hit so many moral bells for so many people. I also thought that if people would care about a theme that they would learn about it sooner.

Also magical girl can give a chunkier plot within the cultural context while avoiding the problematic stuff.
I think since the only time the players are forced to interact with the theme is the update, it would be helpful if you could post a sample update. So there would at least be basis for criticism instead of imagination and hearsay.
Are you sure you don't just have a magic girl fetish?
Agreed, but considering that I just lost a fourth of my players due to the BandWagon going off the rails, I have to do something. I also have napster breathing into my neck and promising to start his own lite.
I now have to do something. Unless people are willing to rejoin it has to be a change of themes. Also for the record non of the things that you listed above would've made it into the updates.
I will play your game, no matter what you do with the theme. Keep it, change it. Doesn't matter, I was going to ignore it anyway.
Good idea, let me write something up and I'll share it with all of you. In the mean time, @al-Aziz would you be interested in joining or are you staying aside for this one.
So basically Kiwi and Wagon spread a rumor that is threatening to ruin your game. It's becoming pretty clear who the real problems are here...
Nah, my position was entirely grounded. npstr's RP name in this context, the thread title, and what Health had said about it were enough to avoid it. I'd decided that the day it went up, and just ignored the thread as would anyone else in a similar position. But after I'd mentioned to Health why some people would have to avoid it Wagonlitz actually realised what it was about and assumed the worst on everything.
While you are trying to maintain your objection was limited to a special case, your posts were written as having a general objection and then a special case where they would be especially harmful. Moreover your posts basically read as a wispier campaign against Health. "I'm not saying it's necessarily trouble, but I don't trust Health to do the right thing." While Wagon is certainly one to jump to conclusions, the jump was not as big as you would have us believe, and you deserve an equal heap of blame for this vile campaign.
Mostly I just don't understand exactly what the theme is about, or what you intend for it to be, since there's apparently a margin of ambiguity within the title. I admit I was kind of iffy on joining when I read the roles, and it's not a sub-culture that I feel particularly comfortable subscribing to. If you could do a sample update, that would be fine.
EDIT: Don't worry about Npstr, if you were asleep it's not your fault that you're responding to this late.
“Sissy, we really shouldn’t be up here.”
“Relax name-chan, we’ll be fine. Look here is the place that we….*chuu*”
“Thank you, sissy! Thank you for everything.”
Name-chan the loud moralist learned to fly.

As @k-59 requested here is a possible update preview.
Morrigan is smoking hot. There, I said it. She's also a woman, not a girl.
That's about as far as that goes.
I don't trust him. While he's said no harems, tentacles or even hints of loli one is already completely there with npstr's user name and a second strongly implied in the theme. I'm confident he'd do what he thinks is appropriate. I'm not confident he's aware of what some people have to abide by and where the line for them would be.
No problem Rovsea, it is your right to refuse if you feel uncomfortable.
So I'm just supposed to refuse napsters RP pick, whilst the tone is clearly what it is for that RP pick, I wouldn't say that it taints the whole theme with that.
What is your opinion on the possible update in the spoiler?
You keep trying to hide behind code of conducts. But time and again you included "people with taste" as people who would not enjoy this. And it was you fan the flames of rumor, by on one hand citing codes of conduct and avoiding any possible issue, but that same time grooming people to expect the worst by citing Health's supposed reputation and in one especially laughable case DarthJF's reputation who of course doesn't even play werewolf.
I am not comfortable being in the same community with someone who so easily impugns other people.
Grow a thicker skin and come back. Jesus fuck let's do what we're here to do and start the game already.
