Imagine saying someting like this on a BL game. Such a strange and disrespectful thing to say. It's an otome, it won't have any other pronouns unless the creator wants to add them.

It is silly, I agree. However, I've been seeing a very vocal minority asking for male MC under every new otome game I've checked out this year, which annoys me solely because otome isn't synonymous with dating simulator as many people think. It's a distinct genre just like BL, so equally disrespectful to be saying such a thing under a BL or Otome game <3
Thank you! I was trying to say this and someone got so angry about it.
I love that it has a clear narrative and isn't trying to pander to both genders or content enjoyers of TL and BL. It's the only game that isn't customisable and these people get angry or continue to ask, as if the Dev can rewind all their progress and do it differently.
Asking for pronouns on a BL game is forcing a narrative and is so rude. I don't like BL content but I'd never expect or ask an author or creator of a game to make the ML/MC a female for me.
"Unless the creator wants to add them."
Which is why I was asking. It doesn't hurt anybody to ask, except you and your feelings. Getting annoyed over something that has nothing to do with you is completely asinine. It's not disrespectful to ask any sort of question? I wasn't asking maliciously. Sorry you're annoyed I guess?
And yes, people do ask for pronouns/custom MC in BL games. It actually happens in a lot of visual novels - it's not specific to otomes.
Contrary to what you think, it really is disrespectful to go under a game tagged as an Otome and ask for a male protagonist. It shows your lack of comprehension ability and respect for what the Creator planned and intended.
It's much more encouraged to play something else with a male or gender-neutral protagonist if this is such an issue for you. Trust me, it's not a small category.
The world is not ending over 8 dislikes. Plus you commented a day after I posted it. If it makes you feel better piggybacking off that, then good for you. Don't know what to tell ya.
I don't need your encouragements nor self insertion to tell me what I am the target audience of and what I should go and enjoy.
You have yourself a good day now too.
