Yes, considering it seems like he's done the same thing before too and not cared enough about the critique to do anything about it, it feels safe to say he won't be making any changes this time around either.

Unfortunately, it might be one of those cases where a writer is determined to prove their point and decide they are right and that everyone who interprets their writing in any negative way is wrong. There's plenty of them around unfortunately, and many are immune to any sort of feedback because they already feel like they are right (which I know because writers pay me to voice my opinion on their manuscripts and some still come after me with insults and threats when I don't return with all praise and eager bows at their excellence).
The thing is, they're possibly *not even wrong* if they set out to write something that does not appeal to the majority on purpose. Mission accomplished. It just feels horribly tone deaf to do this to a player requested romance. It's extra hurtful if someone hears you out... and then does something like this, you know?
