Does the protag have a gender?
The same thing happened to me as to you with several video games that exclusively have women protagonist, such as Night in the Woods or The Pirate's Fate (both furry games starring women), both are available on Steam. There are also the first two Mass Effect games that only had female gay romances.
I think the girls win in this, so leave these visual novels to the men :3
I'm not saying the opposite, I know there are many fujoshi, for example, I know some girls who write really great erotica comics and text fanfics. But I was simply talking to someone who doesn't seem to share that taste, at the same time that I make a couple of recommendations if she was looking for things with that other component... because I agree with her that a female protagonist doesn't feel the same as a male protagonist, for example I like playing Mass Effect with a female protagonist more, it reminds me of the first Alien and Terminator, with a man it is not the same as with a woman. And I enjoy more the romances with male protagonists.
