This game is for women, there are plenty of other games with exclusivity. Don't force something like that.

I’m not forcing anything, I fear. It’s a suggestion.

If adding one optional pronoun setting threatens the game’s identity to you, you’re very insecure. Especially when gay men already get barely any games catered to them

please everyone i'm begging lets all hold hands 

> the game originally didn't have a he/him pronoun option bcs it was made for a jam and i ultimately make my games for me (the most cis passing non binary person afab on earth)

> i am not opposed to adding he/him and they/them pronouns as i have done in many other games i've made before, but it is extra workload for me both in writing and implementation. again, it was made in a jam, and im disabled and i get overwhelmed easily. also keep in mind omegaverse adds extra complexity to the gender/sex implementation. i mean, taliesin wants to get you pregnant either way. i think in earlier iterations of development there was also going to be a toggleable female sprite which is also part of why things worked out the way they did. 

> i think it is worth considering when making suggestions and requests on free indie games that you are requesting the labour of a stranger, or maybe even multiple and to value that appropriately <3 (not saying you don't, just mentioning!) often times, scope was already cut to respect peoples time, effort, and artistic boundaries. we would all love to make fully customisable mc's but its not always possible.

> i dont think adding a pronoun option takes away from the player experience for anyone? in my bumble opinion, but that's just me. it does fundamentally change the genre label of this game, but that's by the by. i do think the female/she/her experience in my games will probably always be the most enriching just because i was raised this way and unfortunately a lot of my tastes were shaped by heteronormativity and romance novels.

> i am all for gay men having more games catered for them, especially ones that do not feel fetishistic or exclusionary. may i suggest to anyone reading to check out the other omegaverse jam entries to see if anything there takes their fancy! There's BL, WL, trans characters! 
A/B/O Speed dating is BL and tonnes of fun which I personally recommend. 

anyway peace and love and please remember were all just people on the other end of these silly little pixels <3

Thank you! I appreciate the support, your game is lovely and I don't mean to fill the comments with fights.

It's your game, and I think you should make it however feels right to you :) My frustration was more with that person's statement than with the game itself.   

Appreciate your thoughtful response though♡ Also I checked her profile, she's a creator of a BL game? I'm just gonna assume she's trolling.

Are you deaf? Blind? Nah, most likely just stupid. I don't care about gays, I care that people don't understand the point of not sticking their noses in where they're not wanted. There are games just for women. Otome. The safe place where no one bothers us. If this is so hard for you to understand, then go cry in the corner. Ugh.
