A lot of y'all seem not to be getting the dynamic of the game... beyond all the stupid "bUt WhY fEmAlE pRoTaG eW?" garbage that always pops up, this game is poking fun at two oft-caricatured and polar-opposite subcultures in Japan, gyaru, specifically the old-school kogyaru (aka "blackgal") which made up most gyaru when the trend picked up in the mid to late 90s, but has since been relegated to a sub-type of the gyaru subculture, and otaku.
There is a long tradition in Japanese pop culture of gyaru looking down on otaku that is portrayed a lot in different media, despite the fact that both subcultures are kind of looked down upon by parts of the mainstream. This is just poking fun at that dynamic in an extreme and silly way. No need to get all worked up over a silly gag ryona game.
