Okay, so here's the deal. Most of you know that I work as the voice over supervisor for the dev team that's making the pony dating sim. I know there is a lot of stigma to be associated with that project, so here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to tell you all that we've finished a mini-demo of the game and if you want a copy of it, get in touch with me and I'll give you one. No one has to know. I only ask that you keep it to yourself. It's only really supposed to be given to people who have donated to the project but I value the opinion of this community.
It's not a complete arc, and it doesn't even play for five minutes, but it's a decent demonstration of the art, the music, the voice over work, and the gameplay (minus a feature, but it's not important right now). The whole thing is the player's first interaction with Rarity. That's it.
I'm told there will eventually be a part where it goes there, but I'm having no part of it. I insisted that there be no voice for that part and there wont be.

You know... That's... well, it's just that...
Honestly? I would be fine if a project like that went as far as a kiss. That's kind of the point of a dating sim. You play well, you get a little kiss from Rainbow Dash or Big Macintosh or whoever. It's all cute and fun.
Whoever is letting this go beyond that is killing the more mass appeal and basically stating to the world "I wish to cater to the hardest core and least socially acceptable of the fanbase and do as much as possible to draw a lawsuit from Hasbro."

Well, damn. I was quite a supporter of this project up until I learned of this. I really can't see myself backing this dating sim anymore, even of it only goes there for a small portion of the game.

Even if I was doing something like that for a paycheck, I'd likely leave the details out, or even nix it from the portfolio all together. Typecasting doesn't just happen in movie or tv acting, homie.
I wouldn't add it to a portfolio, either. An unorthodox project like that is more likely to call for further investigation, which may end up being detrimental to your portfolio.
You know, this used to be one of those things that you "know" but avoid thinking about. But you are all right. I will do all I can to re-route the project away from that bad place and keep it innocent.
Good on you, sir! There is already a stigma associated with the MLP fandom. Including such content in an otherwise well-done fan project would make matters worse.
Do whatever you can, Sonic. Any large scale pony-related fan work like this should stay faithful to the source material and be cute and fun for all ages. I don't know if that's a detail you weren't supposed to share outside of the development team, but if it helps at all to mention that there was heavy backlash to including sex scenes from otherwise supportive and interested fans, mention it.
I predict that at best there will be two versions. Cute, pink version and underground hardcore ponyfucking version. And I don't even care. I just feel a little sad for the voice actors who have to go trough it.

"That was an okay take, but remember, Rainbow Dash needs to sound like she's really enjoying the man-cock she's getting pounded with. Can you moan a bit louder?" Or worse: "No no, Sweetiebell doesn't sound nearly "I'm being raped" enough. Needs more rapey."

You know how to find me.
IF it stays on the cute and up-and-up, it could be successful.
Honestly, this is portfolio fodder for me.

Just be wary: that fodder will have some clop in it if anyone goes looking.
D'Awwwwwwww.
Do you know why they insist on doing this?
