Ugh this is going to be kind of a childish rant but are light hearted vanilla "dating" games they only type of games we as women can enjoy? Men have a WIDE range of different fetishes and what not in their games and no one calls them out on it, no one makes commentary videos and articles on how problematic is is, it's just normalized and seen as simply exploring ones fantasy in a safe environment. There are dark otome games that are popular in the community but if the developers DARE to experiment with more "rique" mature content they are automatically crucified.
Women have no problem consuming yaoi content with VERY unbalanced dynamics but the moment it sways the hetero direction "itS prOblMaTic", "yOu aRe gLoriFyinG aBusE", "tHis iS triGgErinG", I guess it's because it hits too close at home?I get where its coming from and the criticism shouldn't be automatically dismissed but it's getting so ridiculous and hypocritical since it's only the female oriented games that get downright trashed, as if women don't have ANY "foul" fantasies we want to explore in a VIRTUAL and SAFE enviroment.
I have seen that you toned down some of the darker content from the demo and I know it's for marketing reasons but I can't imagine you guys heading with that route later on without people going full woke on you. It's honestly a shame cause I don't personally mind inappropriate and offensive content in games geared to women (hell I prefer it lol) but If I don't like it I will simply NOT play it because I acknowledge that it doesn't appeal to my fantasies but it will for someone else.
Best luck on the development of the game, I will support you guys regardless but it's sad that we have to limit this genre so much because it "tRIgGerS" some people.
