Doesn't a new game
always start as female, though?
Point being, if you "make your character male", then by definition it was you who
chose to go out of your way to enable the possibility by getting the transformation potion. The gay side/thing/whatever, in my opinion, started with Ludas - shouldn't've added ANY males, Heroine Rumble didn't. Once Ludas was in...."well - that escalated quickly". Besides, I'm still confused by how "heroINE rescue team", a name with specific gender indicator, provides a [legitimate] way to make a full male team, to begin with. The more I think about it - the more thoughts I come up with that start with "why" and "why not", so I'm going to stop before it snowballs.
What did you mean by "brief and erratic" and "interruptions", anyway? Like, getting hit during the process, interrupting the scene? Occasional ambush waves (that lead to sources of "getting hit during the process")? Something else entirely?
