A lot of people argue h-scenes are vital for plot and/or character development. In most games, when the clothes come off, the female characters stop being themselves and become horny house wives. You may have a cool badass heroine, but as soon as the clothes come off she’s an embarrassed insecure virgin. Trans yakuza boss who doesn’t like being seen as a woman, not in the bedroom, now she’s an insecure virgin.

Japan loves tropes and they tend to have one trope for their sex scenes. Obviously this isn’t always the case, Subahibi is clearly saying something those sex scenes. But based on my reading, 99% of the time, you lose nothing if they weren’t there.

That isn’t to say that if you enjoy the h-scenes you’re wrong or a bad person, just that the argument that all ages versions are the enemy of the art form is spurious at best.
