Lol, yeah. Any time I try to point any of this out, the eternally offended brigade show up and start slinging words like "bigot" around and other nonsense, while acting like I've committed some heinous crime. Like I had to tell others, language is meant to make communicating easier, not harder, and trying to change the definitions of words whenever you feel like it does the exact opposite of that. It's super gross how they overuse words like homophobia too, which just serves to cheapen the word, considering actual homophobia still exists in the world. The various Arab nations where being homosexual is punishable by death under their laws come to mind.

There's a reason all the sane gays, bi and trans folks are trying to distance themselves from all this nonsense.

Thank you, I seriously felt like I was going mental - seeing so many people on Twitter and when I'm brave enough Tumblr - throwing tantrums about Otome games not inclusive enough. They're trying to change definitions and they're so blinded by thinking they're correct, they take the meaning of certain words away.

Like you said, true homophobia isn't excluding male characters from an Otome game. It's not 99% of what they've cooked up or are offended by. Sharia Law, Arab countries and sadly a lot of Southern states in N America are like that. 😭

Seriously, the sane Gays, Bis and Trans folk - I love and support wholeheartedly. They aren't jumping on soapboxes 24/7.
