Okay so I've been thinking about this for like a whole day now.
and I admit you have a point. The game is styled as a "Femboy visual novel" and yet one of the characters is a trans woman.

Transphobic? I don't think so. Of the 7 main love interests, 1 of them is a trans woman. Why? Because I was writing and she happened and was an interesting character so I pursued it.

She is never referred to as a femboy in the game and it is made clear she is a woman. Every trans person I've run this by has loved it.

Now, sure, I should maybe change the advertising. Even though on my Itch page I say


So I don't think I'm lying or obscuring the fact that trans women will be in the game. It's just that the majority of the LIs are femboys.

But, here is my genuine question: What do I do?

Like, 10% of the game is trans girl. The rest is femboy. It is the biggest part of the game. Do I say "A Femboy Visual Novel That Also Has a Trans Girl" like idk what to do here. I feel like it's not a big deal that the little tag line calls it a femboy game but the actual description says that there is more to it than that.

But you tell me.

You aren't getting me, the game is basically a femboy hentai game, almost every option are femboys, except for the trans women, and that's my problem, why the other option of femboys are trans women? Lumping trans women with femboys is lowkey transphobic, as you're insinuating that they're "basically the same thing", when not at all, femboys are men while trans women are women

I am not lumping in trans woman with femboys and I never ever insinuated that they are basically the same thing. That's all you. I have never said any of that or even remotely implied it at all.

We haven't even fully dived into the trans woman's story yet. And she is only the first. More are coming.

Why a trans woman or women in a femboy game?

Idk dude, I just like feminine people and dicks so that's what my game is about.

Why are you so against me having variety in my game? Do you play like Dragon Age and get mad that you can ALSO be gay in this predominantly straight game?

This is such a weird critique cause I am basically having to respond to your projections about my game rather than what is actually happening.

Well, if they're cis women options in the game too, then I feel like it would be less transphobic, because right now trans women being lumped as an alternative to femboys is just weird

Look, the incredibly stupid comic that your lead artist made, making a bad faith argument using something derivated from AI editing.And would you look at that, he follows AI "artists", basically supporting them. Heck it's the same person that made the Fallout poster AI edit
