This isn't a "this never happens" thing, honest! I know people can be weird about similar things, plus where you are online.

But did something happened somewhere? I don't think I've seen this sentiment anywhere. It is weird thought, one thing is to despise "girly" gameplay or see them as inherently lesser, but another is to expect everyone to enjoy it.

Never seen a direct 'if you don't do this you're misogynist' but I've seen lesser versions of it around in the form of 'support female creators (or else you're not supportive of female creators)' where the games in question are usually romance or VNs, or about showing support for games that are for women and showing there's a market there, etc etc

Yeah, I have seen this kind of vibe, too. I'm not very articulate or very good at putting my thoughts into words, but I do find myself getting a little frustrated when I encounter people who say "Support women!" and treat that as though all women should support all other women at all times, and if you don't like something for/by women, it means you're a misogynist. Obviously I don't run into this very often, but there ARE times when people want to dismiss valid critique or a simple preference as misogyny, vs someone simply not liking something.

For example, I think astrology is really fucking stupid. I don't mean to offend anyone who likes it, you absolutely do you, and I have never and would never go into a space where people are talking about it and shit on it/those people, but privately I do think that is some of the dumbest shit I see. But I have seen people complain that it's misogyny to criticize astrology, since more women than men are into it. But, like, I see plenty of other things that are more male-dominated that I think are also stupid. Crypto bros, the stock market day trader GameStop bros, all the NFT shit that was going on. The NFT shit was EVEN DUMBER than astrology, tbh, and that tended to have more men involved in it. I also just have no interest in sports whatsoever and that is definitely a more masculine thing.

And I get it because there is honestly SO MUCH MISOGYNY out there, and I DO think that stuff that typically has more of a female fanbase gets much more criticism than stuff that typically has a male fanbase. But at the same time, I don't like it when people act as though you're a misogynist if you criticize a "female" interest.

Exactly. Like, I'm sorry, but I'm not into romance VNs and I never will be, so no, I'm not going to be buying them to show support regardless of who the creator is. They're not my thing the same way sports games like Fifa and Madden aren't my thing either.
