How do you feel about a guy playing otome?

[Euclase]

I think people should just play whatever games they're interested in, regardless of their gender. I'm sure there are plenty of guys who genuinely enjoy otome games and just quietly have fun with them.

That said, I've recently come across some men who are very open about playing otome games, but then casually mock otome games or female players, or try to turn otome games into BL. Because of that, I can't help but be a little wary when someone goes out of their way to say, "I'm a guy, but I play otome games."

I'm a woman who plays gal games from time to time, so I see no problem with it.

I did have a guy friend who once told me he played Mystic Messenger, and a few years later she came out as a trans woman so that's also always a possibility! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

I don't care about what anyone plays lol. I also play games aimed at men, but it's not like I ask for permission. It just crosses a point if they want to change the sex of the fmc, cause that changes the whole game and genre

Honestly, I don't care at all! lol I play male-gaze games like GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE myself, so who am I to judge? Games are for everyone to enjoy!
