It's been over a year in the making, but the Speaker Series is happening in less than 2 weeks. Can't say that I'm not nervous about it, but at the same time I'm confident we've put together an all-star panel of speakers and topics for our first proper run of it. Gonna chat a bit about it.

customizable protag games made by otome fans for otome fans are not defiling the sanctimony of girly games. they never have and never will. for every 1 otome game that's using the term too loosely there's 10 others being unjustly pushed off the internet just because they're not cis hetero narratives

you will never not convince me that the otome ""crisis"" has been co-opted by terfs & propagated by ppl who don't realize it. ppl were fine with games like our life & adwd for yeaaars and suddenly now that we're in an anti-trans panic theres a huge influx of ppl hating pronouns in otome games. hmmm.

and if you're going to rile people up about using the term wrong and brigade against these games on social media & reddit, then why shouldn't people do the same to you for using terms like dating sim wrong, the exact same thing you're accusing others of?

at some point you have to look in the mirror and acknowledge a lot of this is just pointless fear mongering. is this game actually using the label otome wrong or does it just not fit your narrow, outdated definition of it?

complaining that people are using the word otome wrong while in the same breath using the term dating sim = any game with romance is borderline satire

this week i blacked out and made 4 chibi L2D models for me and my friends because my L2D license expires this month and i dont want to renew it then i spent 60 dollars so we could dick around in vnet multiplayer very good use of money, who says you need to invest in stoinks /j
