i've noticed it a lot with the chinese gachas.
for a genre that's mostly stealing from anime, and japanese gachas known for their cool males, you would think this would translate into the newer non-japaness games.
but their players absolutely despise males and get psychotic whenever a male is added.
>>
>>741337952
they only play them for hot chicks. I do think it makes a baffling scenario where they're afraid to make any male character whatsoever so most cutscenes are awful things happening exclusively to the cutest girls ever so it just makes the game feel like awkward torture porn. I recently played through wuwa's awful story for the cyberpunk shit at at least 4 or 5 female characters die horribly or undergo some kind of identity death and I can only assume its because they stopped designing males after 1.0 and don't want them interacting with any of the females so they simply don't have any actual dudes to put in these scenarios
>>
>>741337952
gacha are aimed at the kind of person who get irritable with a male on their screen (unless they are self-inserting).
>>
>>741338106
Anime and manga is no stranger to female abuse to begin with. That's why we have the ryona and guro subgenres in the first place.
>>
>>741338149
non cuckolds? (neurotypicals)
>>
why would I want a male in my rolls? I am not here for a "bro trip experience", I want the simulated experience of beinf needed and wanted by at least one girl, but if reality cannot give me someone to care for and that cares for me, then at least let me have a pretend version of it, and in that escapism I don't want another man competing nor even existing around any of the girls, I know I am unwanted and defective in the real world, let me have a fantasy for however long until someone finds my rotting carcass days after my passing because the smell finally became unbearable for the landlord to ignore and I become a pauper fucking burial. Siegfried is still cool, he doesn't mind lolicons.
>>
>>741338149
i guess you are right, it seems like they just play these games to coom to the girls and that's it, i had people call me gay because i rolled males when i never viewed the character through that lens before.
>>
>>741338253
yeah but when its like the only fucking thing ever happening plotwise it starts to get grating. like the college introduced a male doctor bishie faggot and he kind of didn't do much other than yap, meanwhile like 3 of the cute girls just have their entire existence deleted. like one of them is atomized into nonexistence following a freak accident and replaced with a hollow shell her former self and the other is literally replaced with a fucking skinwalker but the dude is like kind of sad his dad died. not a big fan

>>741337952
Asia isn't pozzed by longnose tribe so they can just cater to their audience. Gamers are overwhelmingly male so they make attractive female characters primarily.
>>
>>741337952
When gachas were designed for men, players were happy with cool dudes and cute girls.
But now gacha devs try to appeal to both men and women. The male characters are flamboyant faggots and the girls are still cute. Players want to support devs that pick a single target audience rather trying to make games that satisfy nobody.

i hope you get better anon
>>741338871
where did this notion that as a male you should only play as a girl come from?
>>
>>741338479
Nta but gachas ARE made to be girlfriend simulators.
>>
>>741338952
The fact that it's a gacha? It's like asking why visual novels often have romance. This kind of things are expected and are a staple of the genre. You are probably the wrong audience for these games then.
>>
The only gacha I know people don't mind males are FEH and FF gacha...kinda weird
>>
>>741339059
Because those are japanese gacha. Chinese gacha started off as girlfriend collection games and that hasn't changed. The graphics just got better.

Because FGO is older. These chinese gachas you play stemmed from around 2016 where anime styled chinese games started popping up where you collect waifus. The most notable gacha from this era were games like azur lane and girls frontline who came out in 2016. Mihoyo's honkai impact 3 also came out during this year and only had female characters. You can form relationships with the characters and "touch" them at the main menu.

Well they are a paying audience, which is ultimately what matters otherwise gachas won't be a multi billion dollar industry. There are 6 billion chinks and if only a fraction of that keeps paying for every single new wife that comes to a gacha, companies will never run out of money.

>Other men existing near the women that are my property makes me pissed off.
Which sounds kind of cringe but when you're actually, legitimately spending money to own the women I guess it kind of makes sense. Also, gachas have gone more and more into the sexualization and harem-y aspect, so it makes sense that men being around and friendships/relationships between your girls and dudes would come across as more NTR-coded. And because there are so many genuine cucks and NTRfags out there, who love nothing more than shoving their cringe fetish where it's not wanted and making the implication everything anytime a woman is anywhere near another male, I get gachafags wanting to just avoid the potential for somebody to spam cuck porn of their waifu constantly. To do that, you have to genuinely just remove all other men from reality, because NTRfags are that committed to their retardation.

So I think it's not just insecurity about men existing near their waifu(s), but a genuine aversion to the potential NTRfaggotry that will inevitably come and infect their space if it's allowed to. I mean, cuckshit still happens even when the game seems to be deliberately trying to dissuade it.

t. never played a gacha game
>>
>>741340391
That and NTRnigs are just as worse as furries in that they will literally spam their fetish everywhere.
>>
Male loneliness is an epidemic
>>
>>741340509
NTRfags are much worse than furries, but it's an apt comparison. Being seen as insufferable, annoying, unwelcome, and gross is appealing to them (because it relates to their fetish), which is why they spam it where it's not wanted.

i dont want to roll for males, and i dont want males stealing my gacha pity either. I dont mind it if its like mahjong soul where they're their own separate banner though, but im not rolling for a dude as that shits gay

Your game literally retcons straight girls that like the MC into being lesbians that like each other like Vikala and Kumbhira, you tranny.

I pulled for every male character in ZZZ except for the vampire guy because Lycon is for me and I dont want that guy to get in the way.
>>
>>741337952
Same reason love and deepspace only has males. These kind of games sell based on sex appeal, which means you're not selling males to a predominately heterosexual male audience (or females to a predominately heterosexual female audience)

they don't sell
while that doesn't matter too much for games that pump out loads of characters, for games like genshit and its derivatives that's a massive loss since those banners are up for like a month apiece. when they do release they're basically just loss leaders to keep gays and fujos strung along.

Your mistake is thinking that normal games are comparable to gacha. In a real game, you pay for the gameplay, the experience, the story, etc
In a gacha game, you pay for characters that make your dick hard

because it is displacement of waifus and forcing people to include them in comps. characters are basically the content in these games and if you don't like the put banner. there can be no content for a month to a four month cycle. basically, character gacha with fixed characters is shit. tof solved that issue with custom characters over to be keeled off for the super game nte because no sane gacha game would run past two years of dwindling success anyway. this isn't even exclusive to chinese gachas, tribe nine had to speed past the first blue hair male offering into the bookworm senju probably because women are used to being pampered and not the other way round. maybe shit will change in the next century.

The real answer has always been women inevitably ruin any gacha game that has men in it. It's not always obvious, it's usually never quick, but it's a guarantee that devs will kowtow. Their only job is to follow the trail of money.

Feels like this is a nu-gacha problem since old gacha usually put some of their characters into the standard pool or have a billion of banners running at the same time, for better or worse.

It's mostly due to the gacha system as a whole. Any dude you pull for is gonna eat up your funds for future chicks, which is a net loss.

You're not wrong but the number of kissless virgins only keep rising every year, this is the timeline we are in now
in like 10-15 there will be an insane amount of men in their 40s that have 0 children and aren't married either and I have no idea what the fuck that will even do to society

Gachaniggers look at four upstanding men that saved their country, and instead of viewing them as what every man should strive to be like, they curse their names and call them homo knights because they can't fap to them.
>>
>>741337952
Males in those games are aimed for female audiences. You don't get cool male fantasy characters. That's why i avoid any gacha with males in it because i don't wanna look at fujoshit character design's.
>>
>>741337952
Because introducing a male to a roll pool means that they're now buying men and not just cute girls
It's not a desperately avoiding to not be gay thing, but it's more that their power fantasy is owning dozens and dozens of women
>>
>>741348649
Ehhhh it really depends. Like Venti and Aether are targeted at straight males but the guy who has a vineyard (I haven’t played Genshin in forever) is for girls

Anyone who actively seethes at male characters are mentally ill even though they're most likely also a guy IRL.
To me if you don't like those characters it's not really a big deal since you can just skip them and get some time to save up on your gacha currency to pull for characters that you actually want.
And it's not like it's a big issue in modern gacha games since most of them copies Hoyoverse's gacha system where you can't get spooked by male characters on your limited banner since you already know who the guaranteed SSR character is.

Honestly I feel like the issue isn't males but just how shit gacha banners are. Sure, there's lots of coomers complaining about "mixed toilets" but when you get down to it, people complain about rolling for a specific character and not getting who they want. If you roll for titties and you get some barafag's wet dream, you might voice your complaint about fags but it wouldn't be much better if you rolled different titties.

In case the responses you got weren't clear: gachas are aimed at the lowest, saddest forms of life on the planet: virgins who fantasize about fucking and/or marrying the girls in the game.
So what do you think happens when they're shown males who are cooler and much better looking than themselves interacting with their waifus? Or dot forbid if the writers try to imply any kind of attraction of romance between them

Because the people who actually spend most of their time on Gachas are male.
Add onto that, these same males don't want others to show up in their game because it's 'Their harem' and you start to see the issue.
This is more of as chinese/korean issue I think?
Males, if they ever show up, other than your PC will only ever appear to make you look better.
>>
>>741337952
looking at something in gachas that is not a cute girl is like admiring the room decor or the quality of the couch's stitching in a porno
>>
>>741337952
because Chinese men are extraordinarily sexually unfulfilled due to the massive gender demographic imbalance, and see any man interacting with "their" women as a sexual competitor.
