Only after completing the dungeons and finishing three character paths did I realize that you can't, actually, bypass his creepiness if you don't answer the texts of an asshole, you don't get to finish the story.

The larger discussion around the content warning wasn't so much that it doesn't mention all of the potentially triggering content in the game, but more that the warning doesn't necessarily mention how integral to the story's progression that content is. The content warning currently in the game - the original one - says "this game may include references to unwanted advances, stalking, and other forms of emotional manipulation."

Thank you for playing!- Kitfox Games □ BOYFRIEND DUNGEON OUT NOW August 14, 2021 We apologize for any hurt inflicted by our mistake. We'll update the game next week with a more accurate CW. The content warning for Boyfriend Dungeon inadequately describes the events of stalking and emotional manipulation that exist in the story. This likely means the content warning will more accurately describe the stalking and emotional manipulation present throughout the game. The studio also confirmed that a new content warning will soon be added. Kitfox posted the apology on Twitter over this past weekend, which is when the conversation over the game's more potentially triggering aspects really came to a head.
