Thirdly, if you are able to click, choose character, choose dialog, etc, it's probably interactive now isn't it? And I think that I could be forgiven for thinking that a game with what appears to be a Japanese title is Japanese. But at this point you are just trying to point out technicalities.
The point is, that as it was said several times earlier in the thread, that it's not actually a dating sim. It's only thing to do with dating sims is, that it happens to use a Visual Novel format, that sometimes dating sims also use. Along with crime mysteries, romantic tragedies, sci-fi adventures, horrors, and comedies, that are also written in that format, where there is no actual simulated dating in it, the few choices are pretty much an overglorified main menu.

But you're right about him wasting time on me. My original comment, that I think this whole thing is a darn bad idea, is not some kind of political statement or argument, or an invention to a debate for that matter. It's a personal opinion and one that has yet to change. And I have my reason for thinking what I think.
The reason why I started arguing with you, instead of the other random dismissive commenters, is that you specifically used the terms "insensitive" and "worst way to handle the issue", that is in direct contrast with EVERYONE's statement that it is sensitively handled. This implied that you are theoretically ok with handling the issue of romance with disabled people, but you have some specific misconceptions about how it is handled here.
And I was partially right, you had misconceptions about it being a porno, or a dating sim. Except that instead of believeing the clarification from people who actually know better than you, you just started grasping into straws about how even if it's 99% plot 1% sex, that's still technically a porno (condemning every second novel, Hollywood movie, and even some video games like Mass Effect to the same judgement, by proxy), and about how if you can click on which basic novel-lenght plotline to read, that's still technically a simulation.
Basically, your opinion about "this vulgar genre" is directed at any Visual Novel (stories based on background image + text), that also dares to use sex scenes like any other medium.
