Imma be real with y’all, I am not the biggest fan of genderlocked games. Unless it is vital to the stories where there are discussions of gender, sexism or other things that make gender asa conversation topic, I find there’s no real point to genderlock a game that lets you customize the main character.
An IF where the game is a journey about a gay man dealing with his sexuality, sure. A game where a woman is in a world trying to overcome the hardships thrown at her, cool. An epic about some lesbians? Very neat. I like that kind of thing. I like stories that discuss real topics still prevalent but if one is writing a story that doesnt have any of that what is the point in genderlocking the mc if all other choices are customizable?
This isn’t to say the genderlocked stories are bad, there are many amazing stories where the mc is genderlocked for one reason or another. But those stories are for a large demographic I have difficulty relating to, and that makes me sad.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

Naming the female razor brand Venus is so personally offensive to me....you think Venus the goddess of love and sex and beauty was shaving her PUSSY? Go kill yourself
