i mean its fine if you want to cry! just watch out for yves route. theres some heavy yaoi baiting going on there (among other disgusting things), hence mixed reviewsOoooo I just started playing virche , how was it? Heard lots of mixed reviews about ett
dengeki daisy used to exist in peace for 20 years but as soon as it hit animetwt suddenly its too problematic and fetishizes the normalization of generalization of pedophilia in young girls
Giving a laugh react because this is so true. Love CN otome for this HAHA
Ty! Tbh I started with Scien first cuz man, that smolder =)))
.
it was even confirmed in one of the paid materials! isnt that just neat:DN gotta say I'm not surprised, author gotta have some poorly disguised fetish cuz the whole time playin I was eyein those 2 like
Like gentlemen, not in front of my poverbial salad!!
When I played Yves's route, maybe I was just too dense, or maybe it was because I didn't fall for him, but I honestly didn't really notice any BL undertones. It was only later when someone told me that there's actually some gay content in the game that I was shocked. After thinking back carefully, I realized there really is some one sided gay attraction. Everyone really has very different levels of tolerance. But I can also understand players who dislike this kind of story, because I have certain types of content I can't stand myself.
Wait really? Nooooo bro they r teenagers, n that man is at least in his mid 20s plsss

i mean people also didnt notice bl undertones in latest utapri games and look where we ended up with it..;w; not to mention that the bl crush in virche was actually confirmed, and they had to actively retcon it in the fd. makes you wonder though why would they include those elements in the first place..When I played Yves's route, maybe I was just too dense, or maybe it was because I didn't fall for him, but I honestly didn't really notice any BL undertones.

same honestly. but after years of BL training, I was surprised his route was supposed to be the main route like bruh I can smell the 100 chapter worthy of rival slash yearning slash unrequited attraction from miles away, and I've barely finished 1 playthru.

Exactly. I wish they just hadn't included those elements from the start. It's really just the writer's own personal fetish. Because once I start thinking back and reflecting on it, I end up feeling the same disgust as those female players who hate "BL in otome" content. Just because the writer handles it with a lighter touch doesn't mean they should be allowed to sneak BL elements into otome games. That will only make them bolder and more blatant about disgusting the players. So I support boycotting it.
Its wild how the Animate April 1st incident happened so soon after the Garumani situation, talk about terrible timing. In general I feel like its been a turbulent few months since March-ish where both JP and EN otome fans have to keep defending the genre and so much of this stems from too many outsiders who conflate "female otaku" with "fujoshi" + some omnivores (people who can enjoy both otome/bl) assuming that every other female otaku is like them, so there's no problem with mixing territories. Except for some reason the "mixing" is only a one-way street and otome is the only one getting bl bait thrown into it lol.
She's working on Crazy Chain too right? I'm actually looking forward to that game but I'm also so scared LOL especially after they released that tweet stating the obvious so soon after the Kimi ni Madoi, Kimi ni Oboreru official account made one with more concrete wording. (Attached both tweets)
whats worse is that the vagueness of this tweet actually harms their case, because unlike wakudeki who explicitly stated that there will be no samesex relationships at all (due to the chosen trope), cc only said that cc is a game about a romance between a woman and a man. which is like, sure???? that doesnt mean there wont be any surprise bl shit???????? especially considering whos the main writer for this game lmao??
yup exactly! very weird how you dont see otome spinoffs for bl games.. why not? most bl players are women anyway, and some of them are also into otome. i sure wonder why they dont do that!
i wonder if they were trying to gain some brownie points by doing that? like, deliberately cause a massive controversy riding the wave of an already existing controversy --> people get rightfully upset and call you out --> quickly delete the offensive tweet and give them your apologies --> people start flocking back because They Listened (conspiracy)
True, I doubt many are actually playing it out of their own free will for pure enjoyment.
Possibly, but I think the old farts working in animate just dont have a clue and havent bothered to learn the difference between different types of female otaku. As long as we're swiping and giving them our money its none of their concern
hopefully they learned something after that incident though. A huge company like animate making a mistake like that is pretty grim... thats why I cant be too mad about people kicking up a fuss even though it might come off as excessive sometimes. You have to make the lines and distinctions clear before its too late, especially as a consumer.
