all that and not a single mention of the mistreatment of female LIs? Half (literally, 22 out of 44) of your books have more male LIs and what few female LIs are there get sidelined anyway, usually getting little screentime + copy paste dialogue from male LIs that doesn’t make sense. gender customizable female LIs mistakenly get male pronouns every so often. and all the books where there is only one female LI so there’s no options for players who only romance women. can y'all solve that too in the meantime bc istg if you add more LIs of color and they’re still all male—

hope y'all want some numbers bc i have them. across all books we have 101 MLIs to 69 FLIs (gender customizables counted in both)

here’s the full rundown for the ratio (M:F), firstly the ones with more male LIs

3:0 : 1 (ROE)

3:1 : 4 (D&D, TRR/H, ACOR, OH)

2:1 : 12 (#LH, Hero, HFTH, VOS, ROD, SK, BP, MOTY, STD, BaBu, DS, MTFL)

4:2 : 3 (TF Series, TCATF, ATV)

3:2 : 4 (HSS, ILITW, Platinum, RCD)

and the equal ones, sadly only in numbers not in screen time:

3:3 : 2 (AME, PM)

2:2 : 12 (ES, BB, BSC, HSSCA, ILB, TE, PTR, NB, WT, TRM, HC, BOLAS)

1:1 : 1 (THOBM) + 4 single LI books (Witness, TNA, WEH, AVSP), and uhhh MW, not sure how to classify it

and give it up for TH:M, our one equality queen who have more female than male LIs (2:3)!

Update: QB technically has 1:2 as of book 1 but does it really? #justiceforzoeywade

#choices spreadsheet adventures #so yall know this is not a new thing ive been mad at this for a while now #the ratio has actually got worse since my first post on the spreadsheet lmaooooo #playchoices #been debating to add race to the spreadsheet (already have the column for it) but still not sure how to do it #bc in the conception of the spreadsheet i planned to divide by the 4 MC archetypes: white #east asian. brown. black #(sorry forgot that you cant use commas lol) #but well especially the brown category is difficult bc if we go by skin tone alone that would include hindi native american latinx etc #obv problematic that #not to mention white latinx for example should i group them with white breads or not #and i thought about dividing them by like. geographical region but thats also a difficult division #are we going by continents? bc say lebanon and japan is both asia but very different #how small do we have to divide a region? #not to mention we dont always know ppls ancestral countries #and all the aliens or non humans: do we count them and if so how #by race coding? im not about to make those judgements #te aster is green but shes v white to me? on the flip side admiral deimos have human skin tone but idk what human race she is based off

#playchoices #like how do you claim to be reflecting on your books and not see the FLI problem lmaoooo #its GLARING #That post been coming around so to be absolutely clear this anger is directed towards pb and pb only. not a dig against the fandom

“it’s not that serious! it’s just a game we play for escapism! fun! distraction from real life!” doesn’t work for poc who faces racism in real life and would like to ‘escape’ only to see more racism in a Fun App Game. no sense in granting escapism only to the group who faces the least amount of real world problems to escape from. we want to have fun playing a fucking dating game, just like you, is all.
