So I had a lot of help on this formatting and typing out and for that I'm greatful but let's get into it.

Everyone has seen the harem protagonist with no sociable skills hook up with all the busty women. And Huniepop just might have an explanation for itself.

Main Evidence
When Kyu Sugardust first meets the protagonist, she presents them many things, including gifts that can be given to various girls and are constantly refreshed through the use of magic. Another force given is The Dating Grid, which she references throughout the game.

Proper use of The Dating Grid empathically increases the character's attractiveness and bond towards their respective women, through the use of many empathic emotion-named tokens, such as Romance or Sexuality. Use tokens and feelings that do not appeal to that woman's emotions, and they'll be less interested in you.

Now, the dating grid should represent, without a doubt, an in-verse form of Limited Empathic Manipulation. This means the protagonist, and by extension Kyu, can somewhat supernaturally empathically appeal to people, represented in-game as the Dating Grid. The reasons are simple-

-Kyu Sugardust has Magic and used it in the very same conversation to gave the player unlimited gifts; this is not out of the realm of possibility.
-It is quite clear that certain emotional tokens are more effective, giving a strong, emphatic link depending on what the person in question likes.
-The Protagonist had just about no ******* experience with women, yet using the dating grid, everyone wants to **** them; exactly as Kyu said. This leads it to look like it's magical.
-Elaborating on the above point, it's clear that the Dating Grid is responsible for if the girls, in verse, feel strongly towards you or not, and she very clearly states that failure will lead to them liking you less. So, it's a strong indicator that it represents in-verse Empathical Manipulation.
Essentially, there is a strong link between the dating grid both evoking emotions, and being used as a way to gain affection and love, which is absolute textbook empathic manipulation.

Is It Just Game Mechanics?
No, The Dating Grid is very clearly a representation of an in-verse ability. Not only does it fit with Kyu's race of magical sex fairies, but it allowed a complete loser to become a harem protagonist simply from Kyu giving it to them.

Conclusion
The Dating Grid represents decently supernatural sexuction, meaning that Kyu, being the one who gave it, should have Empathic Manipulation, though likely limited.
 
There's no way sex fairies could have empathic manipulation, smh

Jokes aside, looks like a simple, small addition.
 
We already have a profile for Venus, though whether she should get the same treatment as Kyu...I don't know. Though the player should probably get a profile.
 
I mean we can only have one and I personally think the empathic manipulation makes more sense.
 
Tbh, someone can be both charismatic and still have empathic manip.
 
Hmm, yeah fair enough.

But in this case wouldn't it be the most safe to add one or..?
 
The proposal look uncontroversial in the OP so they fine, with me.
 
So should I go get a higher up's opinion or go ahead and add it?

Probably get higher opinion?
 
If the changes are uncontroversial or simple like this case, you can go ahead and add it without higher up's opinion.
 
That's content mod and a decent amount of support. I say go through with it.
 
Social influencing is most different forms of charms. It should be fine from what I understand of the series
