(update, protagonists gender is selectable now!)
I think the protagonist being male is completely fine seeing as all fvns and fvns spaces are centered around mlm and queer relationships. I don't think we need to add female protagonists as it ruins the mlm and queer representation there are sooo many games with females protagonists like otome games ect, but it's just not that way for fvns. That's like asking Otome games to add male protagonists.
While I totally agree with this the gender was always selectable (male, female, neutral). I originally was going to make it mlm (since Cooper is supposed to be canonically gay) but as a queer person myself I wanted to see him navigate relationships with other queer, straight, non-binary, trans etc. furries. It didn't seem right to make a game that excluded a significant portion of furries, esp. furries that are non gender conforming.
In saying that, the way Cooper reacts to each gender is unique. I also hate the fact that I can't play as a gay male in normal otome games ;p So even though making all these options was absolute hell to code, it was a majorly important part of the overall story for me.
tbf there's hardly any mlm and wlw books\games in general ESPECIALLY wlw (it's less popularized than mlm, and even then it's hard to find something good and not sexualized)
Also compared to female protagonists there's alot of male protagonist media statistically! i think you're just noticing female protagonist media more
nonetheless i still wish sometimes that i could play a male in otome games but alas.
