The term egocentric is a concept that originated within Piaget's theory of childhood development. Egocentrism refers to someone's inability to understand that another person's view or opinion may be different than their own. It represents a cognitive bias, in that someone would assume that others share the same perspective as they do, unable to imagine that other people would have a perception of their own.

You are saying that going from the point of view of a male self-insert, sometimes people just want to play a game with whatever character and see the sex scenes as an external watcher of sorts, some guys like to play as a female protag and see the corruption and how far down will a woman fall, maybe guys who play as a female feel the need to save the girl in the game. There are a lot of reasons as to why someone would play a female protagonist game. If I'm not wrong, the number of games with a male protagonist far exceed the number of games with a female protagonist so yeah, most people already play as the male protag anyway.

There are some girls here who like playing as a female protag so this is a thing too.

Makes more sense to YOU. I've found most guys that have real issues with this are ones without real life female companionship.
As a biological female I can identify with a males fantasy point of view utilizing a female protagonist quite easily.
I dont think there are nearly enough leading fems in sex games actually. 1614869667238.png

I don't know about anyone else, but I typically don't self-insert as the MC in these games. Sometimes I make the choices I would have made for myself in that situation, but I feel I can't really relate to most any MC, male or female. So by taking control of the main character of interest, I cut out the middleman, so to speak.

Perhaps it's because people aren't intending to identify with the fem MC, perhaps it's about piloting a hot girl into hot situations?

Personally i don't go for the corruption and degradation Fem MC games, but whatever works for people. You could argue that a Fem sub MC being played by a women is no different than a guy playing MGQ, perhaps it's just the female players are less vocal than us guys.

Because its cheaper to have one female character design that is fucked in various ways.
Besides if it were a male protagonists there would need to be a lot of context to be established to get to fuck various female characters.

I wild girl appears that you get to fuck only works with monster girls style games.

Does the OP understand that not everyone who plays adult games are men? Women and trans people play these games as well and representation is always good. If you don't like female mc's don't play them. I don't play games that focus on futas but I don't hate that they exist.

Why we have so many games with a female protagonist?
Why do people want to be fucked by a random monster or a random guy?
Please, seat down comfortably before reading, I don't want you to be hurt when you'll discover the most terrific and disturbing truth of this world: Even female masturbate while looking at porn.

We all know that anything can be exploited or taken beyond any reasonable point. I was referring to games/projects that try to do things the right way.

This is savage, but with a little graduation hat on top.

as many mentioned, not everybody are playing as "first-person", I seldom do. I mostly play in a third-person perspective.
and the good part is that in some games I can "decide" their fate.
so, if I play a dude, a cyclops or a female, its not that important, whats important is the character itself and the story. if the MC is stupid, I will not like him. the best games for me are female MC, this because usually I can decide what she will do and I can focus on her "corruption" or "progress".
harem games are difficult for me. this because the MC need to be someone likeable, I mean, really likable. since Im the viewer here and want to be entertained that also can "decide" stuff, like go there, do this and that.
even if Im not playing in first-person, I need to like the characters, and not just the MC but all the characters. the MC is just one character in that story, sure, it is focused on him, but the others are also important. is like watching a series, Im not putting myself into any characters, I just follow the story. same here, but it has more interaction and theres choices.

Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics. Most players here are men and most games are intended for that audience.
It's like saying 50% of gamers are actually women, yes, but actually no if you break things by genre and specific examples.

all you have to do is scroll up and you'll see a female who plays adult games. So my point is validated lol.

Your point still stands. The demographic is quite male, but that still doesn't support the OPs opinion.
