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. >_>

Not only do they act like having female only protag is bigoted they also act like having only male LIs and or only female LIs is bigoted

Not everyone is bisexual, people

There are now games being tagged with Yuri when it has male lis, games being tagged Yaoi when it has female lis

If the goal is to be less bigoted isn't it more bigoted that lesbians now have to share a space with men? Are people so adverse to calling their game simply Amare or bisexual?

Why is it always women that have to share?

Oh girl, been asking myself that for years. Some people can't seem to accept that having separate genres is ok, and you don't have to smush everything together—by trying to include everyone you just make nearly everyone else throw their hands up in frustration. It's a case of extreme over-correction that's been happening the last 15 years or so. Again, it's fine to have FxM only, FxF only, MxM only content be their own things; trying to appeal to everyone results in watered-down content, and, lets be real... women and men like different things and go about things differently. Yuri made by men for men (which is still the majority, statistically) is quite different from content made by women, for women... but try pointing out anything I've said, and you're immediately labeled a bigot. Yeah, no, I'm too old for that gaslighting nonsense.
