the cult ending may have been cut earlier in development than originally thought
as two of the games routes directly contradict it unlike all the others that hint at it
the cult ending's transcript mentions that Joseph murdered all of the dad's wives, but there's a problem there
one of the dads, Hugo, did not have an ex-wife...he had an ex-husband, and his ex-husband is still alive with joint custody of their son (He is the "fun weekend dad")
and in Craig's route he specifically mentions several times that his ex-wife Ashley ("Smashley") is still alive
so it's possible the cult ending was cut at the same point in development that the rumors that every dad was cis & bi (Including the player character)originated from, because the cult ending's transcript makes it sound as if the cult ending operates on the idea that every single dad was once married to a now deceased woman
its possible the throw-away line confirming Damien as a Trans man was also added after the cult ending was cut, as it's literally the only time Damien being trans is ever mentioned (he mentions he has trouble choosing the right binders to go with his goth aesthetic)
never mind, the cult ending specifically mentions he caused the divorces too
