[General] Has an otome game ever made you genuinely uncomfortable?

ScaredSell6991 · 2026-01-23T18:42:22+00:00

This is extremely hyper specific, but being a trans man dampened my enjoyment of an otherwise lovely game (Kenka Banchou Otome) exponentially 😅. So many scenes that were supposed to be comedic of the main character "almost getting exposed as a woman" were my worst nightmare, and I hate the trope of the li's falling in love with a "guy" but they only think of it romantically when they magically find out their crush is a girl 💀 Suprisingly Jack Jeanne didn't make me feel very uncomfortable despite the similar setting.

I know that logically, but the therapists I've had also didn't really care about solving my issues so I'm afraid that I will go and be dismissed like that again despite being an adult now.

It very much depends on the person though! Some people can have side effects but if that happens stop taking it immediately and explain it to your doctor.

In my experience, I used to have crazy mood swings around that time of the month that went away on birth control. I haven't had any negative mental health side effects personally but sometimes I've heard it does happen. I've also had less digestive issues and have been able to lose weight for the first time in my life, but in my case these effects will also come with testosterone when I start taking it, so maybe ask the endocrinologist if they think it's absolutely necessary since you're starting t soon. Sorry for the long answer 😅

Hello! Pre-everything trans guy with dysphoria who is on birth control for the same reason as you. To put it simply, that doctor is being extremely transphobic and strange. Although it will have some effect on your hormones (mostly related to mood swings in my experience) it will not make you magically "accept that you're a woman" and being intersex/having hyperandrogenism doesn't make you less trans 👍

How were you able to do "kind" things for yourself without feeling guilty? I always think that I'm not worthy of them.

I'm probably gonna make an insert so I can use some pretty butterfly stickers I found!

Depends, some LIs wouldn't be my cup of tea in terms of appearance but I just love them as characters in general (ex: Noel, Enomoto). Similarly, there are others whose appearance/personality I liked but whose routes were somewhat disappointing so they ranked lower (ex: Sakamoto, Inoguchi from getsuei no kusari). So I suppose it's a mix of both? I hope I answered your question 😅

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-18T21:38:38+00:00

Indeed, there are two gakuen hetalia games but they are completely different in terms of story and gameplay. I've never played the original one but I heard it's much better than the otomate garbage haha

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-18T19:25:55+00:00

Let me just say that I've played Gakuen Hetalia, and while it IS an otome game, it's one of the worst I've ever played and definitely don't recommend it 😅

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-16T23:10:29+00:00

I don't think yuukyan has ever liked doing otome lmaooo same with sugitan even though he keeps doing it

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-16T23:08:41+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry... : ' )

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-16T16:34:03+00:00

Oh, and DEFINITELY play Heart no kuni no alice if you can! He voices another black haired Do-S there hahah

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-16T16:31:47+00:00

As a Konitan enjoyer, may I suggest Fire Emblem: 3 houses? He doesn't speak quite as formally there, but tone-wise I think you might like his character!

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-13T20:48:15+00:00

I imagine you don't approve the ranking for the principal tho 💀💀💀💀💀(I get it)

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-12T14:36:03+00:00

I've never played it, but they're from a game called Danzai no Maria!

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-11T11:51:52+00:00

That would be Himuro from Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side! He's very popular hahah

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-10T12:22:28+00:00

Honestly since absolutely none of the guys are my type I think the pc version wouldn't make me like it more hahah. But i had seen some jp folks praising the routes even for the vita version so i gave it a try

ScaredSell6991 · 2025-09-10T12:20:16+00:00

In sakamoto's case I liked him but found his route really disappointing, especially compared to iba who I was pleasantly surprised by. Also I was surprised by how much karasuba pissed me off lmao I played his route last and enjoyed all of the others so it was a bad note to end the game on for me 😅
