Women also play Eroge

(Eroge(35)
Mon 2007/11/19 06:07
A recent survey reveals that 27% of eroge players are female. I always wondered what the ratio was whenever I see girls in eroge shops down in Akiba.

don't shoot me for this, but i thought that it would be 100%. then again, i had a misdirectional belief that all eroge were illustrated by males. utterly wrong, man.

But some of the characters in the games are just way too cute to be drawn by girls. Sometimes you can just tell by looking. Other times its harder to tell.

So Konata is not a lone case. Amusing fact to destroy stereotypes. More than one quarter of eroge players when you think of it!

Actually, it's kinda scary to date girls who enjoys watching two effeminate men 'caressing' each other heavily. Just imagine yourself unlocking her 'ero scenes' where she raped you with a strap-on. (O__O)

Worse than imagining yourself being raped by her with a strap-on is imagining yourself enjoying it.

Worst of all is when you thought that you're simply imagining yourself enjoying it, but when you wake up the next morning there's a hueg black dildo stuck deep in your 'brown eye' and whoever stole your anal virginity has a fetish for catboys, as evidenced by a pair of cat ears on your head.

Not that suprising actually... since I play them. I normally get weird reactions when guys find out I do though lol. It's funny. But I do like the games... its a dilemma.... the cuteness is worth the ero.... but only just....

Well, some eroges do have good romance stories, so I can see girls playing them.

Actually, aside from yaoi / boys love genre, I wonder if eroge game producers actually tailor their games to appeal to girls as well.

Galges/Eroges that are targeted at girls are called otome games. Its usually a reverse of the normal eroge. Being a female lead with "acquirable" males. Yeah, this topic is old but I'm just gonna post anyway. >___>

Not surprising that females do not go to ero shop when you can order on line.

Plus it is good to see that women can explore their sexualities too.
