Another "diverse" amare game with 5 dudes and 1 woman I guess

Respectfully, some of you have got to stop complaining about how artists won't cater to your vision and instead just. Do it yourself. If you want more female love interests in the amare genre, go make your own "5 woman and 1 man" title. Making a game is hard but it is possible to do it on your own. There are even text based systems (e.g., Twine) so you don't even need to worry about art.
ok so both of these comments are kinda passive agressive and both of you have a valid point but i will say i do kinda see where op is coming from. as a lesbian its really hard for me to find good rep in some places and for a while it was here, so when i see games that have 3-4 male love interests with just one or two female love interests it makes me feel kinda icky cause it felt like you just threw them in there to be diverse. I'm still gonna play and enjoy the game cause diversity is diversity, it just feels forced in some scenarios. this doesn't mean the game sucks and i hate all the devs, i'm actually really enjoying my play through and its clear these devs are no stranger to queer spaces (its a vamp game after all lol!). in a world where women are so frequently put to the sidelines, kindly addressing these things when we see them can help those in the future when they're creating their games!
I don't mean to be rude, but it is deeply frustrating to see comments like that where the implication seems to be that the devs are ignorant or bigoted because there's not enough women in a video game. As if the goal is to bully or shame people into doing what you want. It's entitled and weird. If OP wants games with more women, then play and support those games or make your own.
Especially since, I'll be so real, there are plenty of yuri or equal opportunity LI games on this site, let alone online in general.
