Okay, this is actually fascinating, and as for
UntrustableBackstabber, something you should definitely talk to a therapist about (I'm not trying to mock you; I'm just saying that hate always stems from somewhere, and figuring out where it's from is the healthy thing to do.)
So, first off, for those who told me to just search by tags, I'm not searching for futa (god, I hate that word) porn in particular, and I don't want to see men in my porn anymore than you guys do, we both know there is no way to filter them out. If there was, we wouldn't have this list.
Now, for your answers to my question,
Most of you said that female (non-futa) characters are often more complex and better written than male ones. I can't say I disagree. There are many possible reasons for that, from our society's emotional objectification of men to, as
GreenDark themselves noted, the games being directed toward straight male audiences who theoretically wouldn't care for the personality of someone they don't want to fuck.
Another interesting aspect that I will point out in your favor is that even though there is still a lot of trash in the lesbian protagonist space, it's definitely less common. This is probably a result of the niche market lesbian protagonist games occupy. A reduced monetary incentive leaves only the developers who care to make their game out of passion and love for the project. Plus, there are more female writers in that genre, which I always love and find way more genuine.
But, with all that being said, there are games that are exceptions to these rules. Do you play those? And where does that leave games where you can choose the gender of the protagonist? Ones where in the personality and dialogue for both are essentially unchanged, with the exception of pronouns and physiological descriptions. Do you then choose the male option or stick with the female?
Because they are a turn off. I don't want to look at dicks. I don't spend a lot of time staring at mine and certainly not anyone else's. That goes for real porn or game porn. I would prefer that futa remain as a tag to let me know to not bother downloading and playing games which force it into gameplay. If it goes away as a tag it would be a minor inconvenience kind of like it is with real porn and if I come across dicks in lesbian tagged real porn I'm out. The difference being with real porn I can just close the page it's on but with a game I would've taken the time to DL it, so if the futa tag went away it would be an annoyance but nothing to write a 5 paragraph polemic about. The rule for me is simple, there shall be no penis in my pornography. No I do not view myself as the main character but as a deus ex machina controlling the MC but outside of her, it's voyeuristic for me.
Honestly, legit. I'll just say that I never advocated for removing the futa/trans tag; quite the opposite. The more tags we have on this site, the better. I would, however, like if lesbian futa/trans games would also be added to the list under a different category where those who are not interested could ignore it. But that is completely up to the creator of this list; if they don't want to do it, it's their prerogative.
I asked this question to understand you guys better, not to say that your preferences are wrong for you to have. So thanks for taking your time and answering it seriously.
