I think the funniest otome game love interest archetype to me on a meta level is The "Hurghhh I hate women" One

Just 'cause like....how did that happen...what was the writing room like.... what otoge developer thirty years ago was like damn y'know what the ladies will really like? Aggressive misogyny

#i mean i know the 'i can change him' thing is popular for a reason but like #there is a fine line to toe #and i feel like the 'angry at all women because his girlfriend died or broke up with him or whatever' is more effort than its worth...#and like most sexism in romance media marketed towards women and girls i dont care about its whatever #most of the time it tends to be in the more 'chivalrous' sorta situation where like yeah you know its kinda a mess #but its also some fun wish fulfillment for a lot of readers so yknow its a weird balancing act of escapism #but the straight up misogynistic love interest archetype....i just cant sorry qwq #i always have to like mentally block out those characters 'i hate women' character arcs in order to even take em seriously dhdhrjsj #i dunno its just strange and kinda interesting #theres always stuff to talk about with media primarily made for women especially when women are often involved in the process #many dissertations could be written djdhrjskkfdok #edit: i guess another reason i cant deal with this archetype is because the thing is i really really love women #like this bitch is like 'hhhhhggh women are weak and stupid' and its like sorry man i cant vibe with you we have conflicting interests #holds up my comically large sword #is this guy bothering you queen
