Do you think otome games should be banned?

Question

Otome games are creepy games for women where the sole salespoint is sexualized dudes. Sexualized dudes is a bad sellingpoint in itself, but what makes them creepy? Take Brother's conflict as a example. Its a game where you play as a girl who gets a bunch of step brothers and you can choose which one you want her to date! To make it grosser, yes that pink haired kid is dateable. WTF! Do not support otome games!

Every single time somebody makes a question about why somebody wants hentai and porn to be banned, think about that. It depends on what type of game your playing. Not all Otome games are bad, that I can say. What makes it bad is when you decide to actually emulate what you see in those games. To be honest you're not necessarily making a logical argument except for the fact that it sexualize men. The thing is what about Japanese porn? Hentai, which is Japanese animated porn, what about them? If anything I think some of you men need to play those games that you can actually understand to some degree what women have to go through whenever we have to deal with these things in real life. Unlike pornography, Otome games do not have to necessarily go that route if you don't cater to those type of games. If anything I had learned a great deal concerning about men, as well as dealing with the mentality of some women because I had played a few of those games. But it isn't because I am lonely or anything like that. But that I get to experience to some degree exactly what goes on in other people's heads psychologically. Some have actually have great stories. Wanted to actually reminds me of my own personal experiences or encounters. Even those that I can relate to with other people. But anything that is hyper sexualized and doesn't actually make a point in a story is something that should be banned in my opinion. But I simply do not engage with anything that goes against my morals and eventually I stopped once I see something that crossed the line. And trust me, I seen one or two that actually did which is why I stopped playing them.

Because girls are NEVER sexualized like that. No of course not. I can't think of any games that have sexualized, stereotypical, objectified female characters that a male can choose to date. Nope! Not one!

Oh, come off it. How many hundreds- if not THOUSANDS- of games are there about romancing cute anime girls? Why shouldn't those of us who like guys have their turn too?

It's just a video game. It's not real.

Pretend-prudes like to gripe abour our culture and claim to be offended at our hentai and adult-themed moves and games, but the funny thing is, westerners are buying this stuff more that us Japanese are. 🤣 Even on Pornhub, which is American, searches such as "Japanese schoolgirl" are very popular. In contrast, according to Pornhub, the most popular search of Japanese men is "Japanese wife". Who is the gross perv here? Yes, Japanese companies make the weird fake taboo porn, but 90% of it is sold to westerners.

How about you shut up. I play Otome games and it’s solely for women not men who are objected to it.

People need to start making the decision to STOP PARTICIPATING in all of these "games" and the IMMORALITY that society is pushing on everyone who is prone to purchasing this stuff. Just Opt Out.
