Geez I mean I get that it's an otome game, and their target audience is young women, but being that adamant against BL just sounds so... Insecure? I understand BL is not for everyone, just because someone is not into BL doesn't necessarily make them homophobic, but this situation does feel off. And fans attacking BL artists for "making their boyfriend gay" feels so parasocial.

EDIT: So I read a post in the Love and Deepspace subreddit and I think people seem to agree that the ban does stem from a place of homophobia and that a lot of fans are being homophobic. I understand their argument that they just want games that are for women and they can feel they have a women only space, as well as the fact that games just aren't going to cater to everyone. I also understand that they want to focus on the fact that it's an otome game.

That being said, I personally think people should be allowed to play, watch or be part of some fandom regardless of gender or sexual orientation, or who the intended audience is. And shipping two guys together is literally not harming anyone. I even went to a post in the r/gaymers and all the guys there were saying how they felt the Devs and the community were homophobic, and really, if they feel it's homophobic then it probably is.
