I think this is just a long-standing tension in the culture, exacerbated by general gender bullshit.

On the one hand, women feeling judged and criticized for not doing “appropriately feminine things”, feeling excluded from the group of “normal women”, and feeling hostility when getting involved in “masculine interests”. On the other hand, the temptation to criticize “normal women” and things associated with stereotypical femininity.

How would you re-write this secret to represent the same feelings of frustration, but not stray into “not like other girls” territory?

Not the OP but I get the feeling their general sentiment is for more types of games TO be aimed at women. FPS, action-adventures, platformers, aim those specifically at women too and OP will happily buy them, but it's wrong to call them misogynist for not being interested in the existing genres that are currently marketed specifically to female audiences?

(Anonymous) 2026-03-02 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
OP here and yes, that's exactly it. I'm tired of the games that are aimed at women almost all falling into those particular genres, and I'm even MORE tired of seeing other women say that not being into games made for women must be due to misogyny instead of, y'know, just not being into those types of games. Which is why I said that I'm not into BL games either because romance games in general aren't my thing, it doesn't matter whether the MC is a woman or a man.

Like you said, make an FPS or an action-adventure game targeted at women and I'd be all over those.

This seems a little overly sensitive to me. The secret is talking about games that are aimed specifically toward women vs games that are not. Nobody said anything about "real" games and OP never said romance games aren't real games, only that their preferences are elsewhere.

Somehow I don't think OP describing their preferred game as "staring at a guy's ass" is placing those other games on the "real game" pedestal like you think they are.

Did you read the secret?

Oh, and we are doing "woman disliking pink because she is fed up with it and expectations from girls means she is a stupid sexist bitch" in 2026, aren't we?

(Anonymous) 2026-03-02 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
More like we are doing "woman disliking pink because she just doesn't like the way the color looks and there's no deeper reason than that means she is a stupid sexist bitch."

AYRT
Yeah, you are right!

Anyway, wtf, such an uncalled behaviour

(Anonymous) 2026-03-02 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
You are literally one step away from asking all women to be tradwives. "Oh my god, you don't like girl games? You're so cool and different! I bet you don't like cooking and cleaning either! I bet you don't even want a husband or kids!"
