Okay calm down...

First of all, Horikawa wasn't thrown into the ocean because Hijikata dumped him. The sword was confiscated during World War II and was thrown away. It's literally written right there on his trivia portion. The sword isn't just under the possession of the Hijikata family, that doesn't mean they didn't care.

Second, there's nothing wrong with playing the game without knowing anything about the history of the swords themselves. Not every player is a sword enthusiast. Some may play the game because they like the character design. Some play because of the voice actors. Yes, it helps if you know something about sword history, but that doesn't mean you should condemn other players just because they don't know.

Third, yes, Touken Ranbu is not a dating sim. It's so to keep the demographic gender-neutral, but given that the fact that the cast is mostly comprised of pretty boys, it can't be avoided that there are players who are attracted to the characters. Okay fine, they complain and that's not exactly a good thing, but to tell someone to go find another game just because they're attracted to the characters isn't good either.

Everyone has their reasons of playing and it's not your jurisdiction to tell them to play or not.
