this!!! i get the goal of inclusion, but if a creator has a certain vision for their game, they should be allowed to stick to it without having to compromise. a female only otome deserves the same respect as one with gender options. let creators tell the story they set out to tell.

Ngl, I'm getting pretty jaded at this point. People pushing for it always come across like having a female protag only is somehow a terrible thing and bigoted, along with other nonsense. I don't have a problem with VNs having the choice from the jump or w/e, my problem is with the blatant hypocrisy of it all.
Also, the misuse of tags is a huge pet peeve of mine. This isn't limited to the Otome tag, but also the yuri, yaoi, and bara tags, among others. Examples:
Bara: MxM only, male target demographic.
Otome: FxM only, female target demographic.
People will slap multiple tags (otome, yuri, yaoi) on something when none of them apply because they just smushed everything in, and a more general tag would make sense.
I could go on, but I'll spare you my ranting. >_>
