An otome game is a story based video game that is targeted towards the female market. Generally one of the goals, besides the main plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male or female characters. This was a very exciting localisation from MangaGamer as R18+ otome games rarely ever see any traction for english releases. I can’t think of any others off the top of my head that are available in english, outside of Les Fleursword.
I truly love the normal innocent genres of the otome industry, but sometimes, I also like to move towards a much more unique category. Some being R18 otome games. It's not always about the 'ecchi' scenes or anything, but also the way they use mature stories, cases and scenarios and somehow toy with your mind like mad. Otome games like Chou No Doku Hana and Akazukin To Mayoi Mori brought up the deepest topics in terms of psychology, things that light-hearted otome games don't usually bring up.That's why I was wondering if any of you share my opinion or often play those r18 games, because I somehow feel lonely in there ^^.
Dude, this is like the third forum I've seen this post in. I'm going to assume it's the same person but, regardless of opinions and whatnot, you seriously need to find something else to do.Well, that aside, I don't even see what the big deal is. It's her opinion, just like what you think is your opinion. Besides, I think you've got a few of her arguments wrong.From what I can tell, her complaint isn't so much that that stuff exists, it's the fact that she's trying to find an R-18 game that has a nice story and isn't just about rape and stuff. I remember my friend actually had the same complaint and if you look at Japan in general, it's pretty misogynistic, so I can't say I'm surprised it's like that.Besides, eroges aren't a good counter-example here.
There's too damn many. For every game that's filled to the brim with nothing but fetish bait, there are games that are focused on pure love (Key's games), story and action (Type-Moon), drama (Midori), or some others that mix everything (have I mentioned Akatsuki Works is awesome? Themes that explore the value of betrayal, friendship, rivalry along with kickass music and action and.gets off topic.).Actually, I've done a speed run with my girl friend of an R-18 otome game (and only one) and I really didn't like it. I kinda agree with everything she says (ONLY ONE GAME THOUGH. I might be wrong and maybe there's a game that proves both of us wrong or something). It's like, for an eroge I know what path I'm on, what kind of game (pure love, kinks, whatever) I'm getting, and if I'm heading for a good end or bad end.
But this game had like, ALL the bad stuff on route to the good end and then we were both kinda annoyed at that so we went back to try the other routes and what the hell. It's got this cutesy school setting and beginning and characters but everything's so out of (normal) order.If it were an eroge, I would have quit. I don't expect the rape and humiliation and what not on the good route (unless I'm doing an Alice Soft or Akatsuki game or something, fine, but I KNOW that going into those games cause those companies are just like that). It's like.throwing some random bad end scene from Comyu (akatsuki game.
Hell i wouldn't know the fine details about Otome games (not being the target audience) but in general i think people get too worked up about this sort of thing.In my opinion, if it fits the story and is done tastefully or rather makes sense in the context, an author is free to do what he pleases with the game. I'm sure that in some cases what she is saying is correct but i really don't think a MAJORITY of these games would be like that. Or maybe they are, who knows.TBH, if a game i was playing ended up completely insane like the stuff she mentioned for absolutely no reason other than sex appeal or whatever, with no ties to the story or being completely out of characters, i'd be annoyed too and probably stop playing.But i guess it's how you use it?Past. Heroine Getting rapedFirst of all, i think rape is a common theme in any R-18 material, But since this is an Otome game, where you have lots of choices and lots of routes, blame no one but yourself for picking the wrong one. Not to mention there is a fairly big audience for this who have rape fantasies.I think you're really fanning the flames of potential angry, ranting replies with this one. There are more than a handful of active posters here who absolutely decry at any implied justification of rape.
The fact that it's a game, or the fact that it's from Japan, or it's fictional characters, or you choose your own path, are not excuses to take the context of rape lightly. You'll never convince a rape victim anything that even remotely depicts rape can be considered a form of entertainment. They are just physically and mentally incapable of processing that thought, and don't even think for a second the problem lies with them.
So I don't know how you want to approach this at a different angle. I'm sorry rape is a touchy subject, I prefer to avoid it altogether.littlegreenwolf.

So I don't know how you want to approach this at a different angle. I'm sorry rape is a touchy subject, I prefer to avoid it altogether.I'll bite!I play otome games, and have always seen them as choose you own fate romance novels. Particularly in most cases, bodice rippers. Rape is found in those romance novels your mums read.
Why can't the choose your own adventure ones have it too?Don't see why the girl was surprised. What I'm more curious in is where'd she find one in English.

The market here in the 18 games is usually for the boys.There's a fansubbing contingent to visual novels for the slightly tech savvy and adventurous. But it's 100% legal because you still have to purchase the game. The 'fansub' is simply a script you run with the game that replaces the Japanese text with English text. I think the mature visual novel market for English speakers is slowly opening up to games for women (not necessarily exclusively played by women).Display posts from previous:-All times are GMT - 5 HoursPage 1 of 1.
