    we discussed this over in !otomegames@ani.social back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I’m personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all…the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism

    I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.

















    • Tumblr - my first real main social media platform, mainly fandom stuff, used to post fanart there as well, I’ve been on that hellsite for half of my life now and will probably stay there until Automattic pulls the plug
    • Mastodon - My main Twitter replacement, really good for fandom since it’s easy to talk about spoilers with custom CWs
    • Bluesky - Second Twitter replacement
    • Lemmy - As reddit replacement with less lazy engagement bait posts (this is really a problem on reddit especially in game-(dev) subreddits
    • Discord - for Gaming-buddies, fandom communities, and gamedev communities
