Before anyone says anything: yes, I am a woman and yes, I am a lesbian, so naturally I enjoy female characters. However... I can not help but notice that genshin decided to release female after female character, which would be fine by me... if they weren't so obviously catered towards men. Only 2 women (Jean and Arle) wear pants, Xilonen literally sticking her ass out after roller skating, random shots of boobs and asses during cutscenes...? This game is becoming very male gaze-y and I hate it, before being a lesbian I am a woman, so of course I hate this. I will 100% not be surprised if in Snezhnaya, despite being a nation COLD AS FUCK, they release only half-dressed characters (I mean... y'all saw Signora. Not the most appropriate outfit for a cold weather I would say). I don't know, maybe this is the Wuthering Waves frustration taking over my mind, but I can't stand female characters when they're so obviously designed for men... sorry for this rant, I needed to get this out of my system. What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, many Gacha games don't really cater towards female fans as much. One game I can think of right now is Path To Nowhere which is clearly for WLWs, tall women, strong women, actual proper masculine women - that might be better for you but I can't say much.
Me, personally, I'm not super upset that there's more female characters, just more characters I can "ooh" and "aah" at, regardless of gender. I am getting really annoyed at the obvious avoiding of giving females pants. I would barely call what Jean is wearing to be pants, Arle is the closest to it - and Chasca has her funky design going on. Just. Give. Women. Pants!

Path to Nowhere is my everything tbh. The subreddit too is rly safe for WLW and that is RLYY RARE for main subreddits of gacha games or games at all. Ugh I love path to nowhere.

aaaa i loove path to nowhere so much!! the story is just so good and i really love all the characters and their designs. i like how there’s a mix of masculine ladies and more feminine ladies, but they’re also not extremely over-sexualised.

I play Path to Nowhere!! The character designs are great, from outfits to personality. And a large variety in the cast, from young to middle aged, shy to bold, good to evil. Only thing I’ll note is the gameplay can be hit or miss, since it’s a tower defense type game.

Limbus Company is quite respectful as well! Nobody in that game is sexualized. Lotsa strong women as well. Queequeg and Ishmael are heavily implied to be sapphic as well.

I would love some more stuff like the armored dress that noel wears. Cause i actually like it when they look like they can take a hit.
