The mating animation is horrible and ridiculous.
I suggested Hazeron to a group of people that had never hear, they immediately saw the "ages 17+" tag and read the "sex" warning. They dismissed the game after that, since their computer is in the living room where their whole family is.
Basic solution is to just remove the mating pose and animation. Instead have a more cartoony version of it, fade the screen to black of the avatars involved and then have the "bonk" message of success after stamina drain or whatever. Onlookers wouldn't need to even know that it happened at all, or they can just see a small heart sprite above the creatures similar to what you see in Minecraft when breeding animals.
There is nothing wrong with procreation apart from that. Though it is nice to keep procreation mostly PG-13, even if you want the game to be for an somewhat mature audience.
If this was done, the worst offender of "ages 17+" tag could be removed and make the game a lot more acceptable.
