I mean... I used that specific lens for a reason; The stereotypical basic guy does dismiss standard romance as girly fantasies. In fact they'd probably lump it in together with the lesbian romance as typical wall-of-text girly stuff with no sex. I suppose you could take that as the opinion of "people" if you're going mainly off of who plays porn games, as basic guys seem vastly more catered to than anyone else, but... eh, that's a different rant. All I'm saying is that I think porn games could be much better than they are, and that means moving beyond the games themselves being nothing but delivery vehicles for porn content. Lesbian stuff tends to get closest to that, in my experience.I dunno, If I just want Lesbian Sex I can just go to Ehentai and use female only tag with Tribadism tag. Sometimes I just wish to run away from reality and be on a world where a fucked up little shit like me exist in a world where i don't need to deal with something I don't like and feels love. Sure the "Shoujo-Ai" genre are usually filled with people that fantasize on what Lesbian relationship look like but... Thats make it special isn't it? It is like a Romance genre but everything revolve around love between girls instead of love between a male and a female.
Honestly i find it funny how people keep saying that Shoujo-Ai is just "what people think Lesbian relationship would be like" but never comment on how weird normal romance really are and say "Romance genre are what people would think Straight relationship look like". It is like saying "Lesbian would never imagine their relationship to be like this." when some Lesbian wish to have those Manga-like relationship too just like how Straight people wishing to have Romance Manga Relationship too.
I thought this one was a guy mc and the dragon gf was the girl mc. If you're saying that we can pick th mc's gender I'll give it a shot.
While I'm sure most of us here greatly appreciate whenever you share your analysis on this thread, I think starting your own rec thread is a fantastic idea. I have two suggestions/requests for you. I'd like to see you cover all ages VNs as well as adult games and also discuss other media such as manga from time to time. I don't know if F95zone as a whole is ready for this, but I'd definitely love to hear your takes on Desert Hearts and The Hunger!Hypothetically, would the people here be interested in a thread where I recommend and discuss games and VNs I find worth highlighting?
It would be mostly, if not entirely, made up of games already listed here, but I would talk about why I think the ones included are noteworthy.
I considered doing that on this thread but I'm not sure people would appreciate me flooding it with my opinionated walls of text.
The drawback I see about opening another lesbian games list thread, is that games risk to be spread among many list. I already follows another lesbian games list. Some game are listed only in one of the threads, other are duplicate in each list. With another thread, I fear this will dilute visibility of lesbian games instead of enhancing it .Hypothetically, would the people here be interested in a thread where I recommend and discuss games and VNs I find worth highlighting?

I'm honored someone might want to read my nonsense rambles in bad Frenglish prose, but like I wrote previously, I fear opening too much thread on the subject will just reduce the visibility of lesbian games.Perhaps you'll end up encouraging some of the other regulars to follow your example in time. Eve, Goku, 262177, and damnedfrog would all do a great job with their own rec threads I'm sure!
Hmm. I wouldn't expect that would really be a problem because GreenDark most likely wouldn't be starting a thread called, "Another Lesbian Protagonist Games List" or anything like that. Instead, it would probably be called something like, "GreenDark's Rec List" or "Delving Into the GreenDarkness: A Few of My Most Twisted Favorites." Her list would be something personal to her and just cover the particular games that she wants to talk about. It wouldn't really be a competitor to this thread or anything like it in scope since CBoyC95 is a neutral party who tries to list all the games that fit the criteria as they come out whether they're good, bad, or somewhere in between.The drawback I see about opening another lesbian games list thread, is that games risk to be spread among many list.

I'm not opposed to talking about content outside the scope of what F95 is centered around. But I would need to have knowledge of what it is we're talking about. I don't read much manga or watch many movies or anime. But I play a lot of games. So F95, with its focus on games and VNs fits my tastes.I have two suggestions/requests for you.

As EndlessNights already said, my goal isn't to have yet another all-comprehensive list with hundreds of entries. I don't want to replace or compete with this thread. It's a situation where something I want doesn't exist yet so I'm thinking of taking a shot at creating it myself. My thread would only list games I've personally played and found some quality in. This thread here is and will most likely always be the essential one for people looking for lesbian games to try.The drawback I see about opening another lesbian games list thread, is that games risk to be spread among many list.

That's something I worry about as well. CBoyC95 is a hero for keeping this thread going and consistently updated.And above all, I'm definitely too lazy to open and maintain a thread
OK, I didn't understand well what you have in mind, sorry.As EndlessNights already said, my goal isn't to have yet another all-comprehensive list with hundreds of entries.

HEY!That's something I worry about as well. CBoyC95 is a hero for keeping this thread going and consistently updated.
In any case, whether or not I decide to do it, don't expect it too soon. I would have to figure out how to format it and have some recommendations ready to go.
Would love to see such threads in general. General lists like this one are invaluable, but a lot of games get added at unplayable/early stages and there's no way of knowing if they have grown unless you stumble upon them randomly again. So yeah, it would be wonderful if you'd share your experiences in a structured way. Comments get lost after a few pages.Hypothetically, would the people here be interested in a thread where I recommend and discuss games and VNs I find worth highlighting?

Ah yes, the cooties filter. For all intents and purposes, you want the player to have control of the female character, but you don't want to say that the player is playing as the girl because then that's the player getting fucked by dudes and that's gay. Easiest way to ruin a game IMO.Also something that mildly annoys me is when a game on here has a female characters name in its title but the game has a male protagonist. If you were going to make a game that revolves, or takes a focus, on a character why would you not just have the player play from that character's perspective. A title like the life of gydie jram (name is pronounced judy gram) and we play as her husband or brother or roommate and get only an outsider's perspective on her life.
Male protagonists are almost always completely vacuous nothings of characters by design. Most of it's made for straight men so any men in them are meant to be self-inserts, so much so a lot of hentai is literally drawn with grey, featureless men that are basically mannequins.First of all, anything by Angela He is great. Idk how I feel about it being here, it just doesn't feel like it fits but idc honestly.
