I was pretty neutral on the “should otome games have a gender option” argument but this is so fucking stupid
>actual queer men in mind
Ignoring that this person is an obvious fakeboi, neither would otome even with gender options kek it would bring in more fujos if anything. There’s not even a huge difference in the general structure of BL and otome (minus the obvious) other than BL is far more likely to have R18 scenes.
>cishet women love joining queer spaces
It’s the opposite, I can’t think of any space that’s more straight than otome games kek.

The double edged sword of mass produced games lately is that there's so many flooding the market with so many fanservice female characters that they need to make actually interesting characters to stand out. While this gives a surface level of "coolness" and standing out, the issue is that those women are still written by men for men and shallow beneath the surface.
But a lot of women on twitter and else fall for it, because why is there no badass soldier character in girl games? "Don't you see, GFL/Nikke is achually celebrating women and has more interesting female characters." And that's how you get the fangirls who are willing to ignore the loli fanservice and everything being catered to men.

The reason there are so many is because gacha games are incredibly low maintenance and have the potential to have absurdly high returns over a prolonged period of time, FGO is one of the prime examples, during the peak of its popularity it raked in more cash than anything else Type Moon had ever made and probably still does today, and that game was cheap as hell to develop.

>>2461496She probably thinks women in lesbian medias should be covered up like hijabis. Its not the lesbians fault that moids (and trannies, but im just repeating myself) found the design attractive as well, though there are moids who cant handle some of the womens personalities like Coquelic and Chameleon lol. Chinese incels even reported the game to the government to the point of getting a female character temporarily removed.
>>2461426The ayrt are just trying to be dense for no reason. Its obvious that the character design and artstyle are tasteful and not as pornographic as moidslop gachas.

repost, to better acknowledge some things. I know that Robo Ky was always a comedic character, and that he lost his body in Xrd, but this new retarded toaster design is genuinely annoying me. Alongside the covered up, censored Venom, I know they never would've given us a cute, shippable male duo in this game. They'll turn sexy male characters into ugly waifus (Testament), but won't even let fujoshi have decent ship bait. There were tons of female fans that wanted him to return with a body and a decent design, fuck this game. It's the ultimate fanservice for males, but nothing for female fans. The fandom pretending go eat this up reminds me of the Big Man cope in the Splatoon fandom, kek.

>>2461398I know some anons look at this and go say "moid pandering" but honestly, the designs aren't so bad.
Yeah they show skin in places like the tummy and boob area but they're more fashionable than coomer to me. They're not doing retarded poses either to emphasize the A&Ts. Comparing it to stuff like NIKKE is like night and day.

>>2462871Trying that since even my opps told me "just block xD", but apparently everyone takes it personally and gets
triggered when you start blocking shit you don't want to see. I started mass blocking lolicon and furry porn artists and it upset them.

Because of Addy's thread I just remembered something from over 15 years ago. How people first saw this scene and thought it was the dumbest shit ever, but then because Lucky Star is popular in Japan they convinced themselves that it's subversive and funny, because they're such otaku and cute girls doing cute things is the best. Similar with the pantyshot in the first episode of Bakemonogatari, every sane person thought it was dumb, but then people started saying how exactly because it's so stupid and unnecessary it's brilliant. Same shit is still happening today lol

>>2463274For one of my main fandoms, which has a decent male population of fic authors:
Male Authors:
>genfic mostly is broad or world-focused, if it's about a single character it's usually about them growing in power or otherwise coming out on top of a situation, less interest in internality unless it's an angstier tone. Usually action or adventure.>shipfic is usually het canon couples, sometimes including canon gay couples as a background element. Non-canon ships tend to be the most obvious other het option, not a lot of variation>porn has a weird division from those who write shipfics, and feels more generic, has a weak understanding or amount of attention given to female anatomy or sensation in comparison to a blatant fixation on dicks, balls, and cum, reads like someone trying to describe a panel of hentai. kinks are clearly just there for the author and add nothing else.>prefer crossovers over AUS>fixits are usually re-scripts or otherwise about changing the whole story on a broad level, often more a plot outline than an actual storyFemale Authors:
>genfic is more often about interpersonal relationships/smaller slices of the setting, more interest in internality of the cast involved regardless of tone. Much wider range of genres and points of divergence from canon>shipfics are varied, with much more flexibility in pairings and how they're depicted. More crackships, rarepairs, and levels of how seriously they're treated, and stories will have overlap with the same kinds of genfic female authors put out, following similar situations but with a focus on a romantic relationship>porn is intertwined more with shipfics, and has a better balance of erotic description regardless of if it's het or slash, more likely to include kinks that both appeal to the author and match the characters and tone of the fic. PWP tends to have a less… idk, greasy feel>prefer AUs over crossovers>fixits are usually character or scene focused and written as normal prose, sometimes combined with shipping or not, more about a character being done dirty or a dynamic falling apart/not happeningObviously this is a very generalised list, but they're the trends I've noticed (and may not just be common to the fandom but also the characters I personally look for stuff about kek). Other fandoms I'm in either have no obvious male population of writers, or only have autistic crossover fics and commissioned porn fics that have blatantly male authors, nothing in between. Tims and Tifs also have their own tells that make them stand out from the rest of their sex, though imo tifs can be harder to spot due to numbers and most fic authors being women, but it's usually obvious by tags/kinks, typing styles, and sometimes character choice

>>2463751if you want to tour a moidy fic environment, trawl through the Metroid series tag on AO3- it's got pretty much all the bad or retarded/embarrassing moid fic writer traits on like, the first page kek
>>2463754maybe, especially when the media involved has some actual link to each other, and there's also the autistic 'mash all the things I like into one place' aspect too for the mega crossovers. Arena fics are then what happens when powerscaling gets involved, I guess.

>>2463751the first thing that immediately came to mind was the breeding ground by megamatt09 on ao3. one of the highest word count of all hp fanfictions with 2000 chapters of poorly written pwp.
The difference between moid works in hp and women written works is night and day (one thing to look out for is whether they depict Harry as the movie version or book version. moids always chose the movie version for coom)

>>2463802seconding the TIF vs TIM analysis, the wish fulfillment I've seen is like
>I'm gay and I love you the way you are with your pussy, let's talk through our feelings and become a family togethervs
>lesbian sex, "lesbian" sex with penis, forcefem garbage
