Have you ever shipped two guys in an otome game?

Has it ever happened to you that you'd rather see one LI romance another LI instead of the heroine?

I can't help myself feeling this way about Nicola and Dante (Piofiore). Nicola is seriously all, "Dante this, Dante that," and I was just sitting there thinking, "Oh my god, do me a favor, grow some guts and go for him already. Everyone would be happier this way."

Have you ever had a pair like that in an otome game? Which LIs had more chemistry with each other than with the heroine, in your opinion?

Jokes about Crius and Tyril in Even if Tempest are my favourite

Never , This Is Quite A Landmine Topic Honestly . . . . . . .
Be Careful Posting Your Ships On Different More Public Platforms , So You Don't Get Harassed ! ! ! ! !
I Quite Like BL , But I Keep That Separate From Otome . . . . . . .
If It's Just A General Joseimuke , Then I Do All Sorts Of Ships ! ! ! ! ! !

No, I don't ship LIs.

It's true that some male characters have chemistry, and depending on the person, they might ship them. In my case, I don't, but I still enjoy good interactions between the LIs.

And yes, answering the person above, it's a landmine topic in some communities. Honestly, I would prefer not to make LI ships common outside of what's intended for otome (Though I know some people would call that exaggerated, but hey, that's a whole discussion I won't get into right now)

people who ship male characters together in otome shouldnt even play otome in the first place. if you wish for bl, why not play bl games? they could use some support anyway. i never ship lis together and i think very negatively of those who do

and also, "lis have more chemistry with each other than the heroine!!" is cope which is always based on nothing and is being used as a justification of ruining fandoms. thats what happened with grmn and virche, no? otome is supposed to be a safe space for women who want to engage in some love with handsome fictional men, not be forcefed content they dont like and dont want to see (and shouldnt even see in the first place in the genre). call me too radical but thats one view ill never change

I don't play otome games, but some characters are impossible not to ship in games and anime in general. Some even seem visually gay. If you don't want them shipped, don't watch or play anything because nobody will pay attention. There are all sorts of ships on the internet... I even think that the ambiguous games that are coming out now should make you choose whether you're male or female to avoid conflicts, or Ideafactory should go back to making BL games again if they want to make such disguised gay games.
