I almost burst into tears while making this video.

Lately, I've been coming across increasingly pathetic mockery of authors and readers of fanfiction in the "f/o x reader" or "f/o x y/n" genre. TikTok has been flooded with videos making fun of Y/N for supposedly "typical" plots: the female reader suddenly finds herself the center of attention of several men; handsome billionaires, demons, or mafia bosses fight for her heart; she possesses special abilities and is, overall, "too cool for real life." These videos get hundreds of thousands of likes, and the comments are filled with phrases like: "this will never happen to you in real life," "self-absorbed fools," "time to come back down to earth." But let that same girl write a fanfic where she ships two characters together - and suddenly it all becomes a "deep psychological drama," a "study of relationships," "creative freedom." Shippers get approval and praise, while Y/N readers get a slap in the face. Why is that? The answer is simple and ugly: it's hypocrisy fueled by internalized misogyny.

The hypocrisy lies in the double standard applied to the same action-writing a fanfic-depending on who the object of desire is. If the author desires a male character for herself, it's "cringe," "embarrassing," "schizofrenia." If the author desires to see two male characters together, it's "art," "representation," "deep analysis."

But allow me to ask: what difference does it make? In both cases, the author is using characters to satisfy their own emotional and aesthetic needs. In both cases, characters may be given traits that are not true to canon. In both cases, the plot may be far removed from reality. There's only one difference: in the first scenario, a woman openly says, "I want to be desired. I want to be loved. I deserve to be fought over." And that is something society does not forgive.

In the second scenario, the woman distances herself from her own desire. She projects it onto two characters, making herself an invisible observer. This is safe. This is socially acceptable. It doesn't provoke aggression, because a woman dare not place herself at the center of her own desire. The misogyny here isn't overt - no one is shouting "I hate women." It's internalized, embedded in our cultural codes. It manifests in the fact that female desire is considered shameful by default. A woman must not want too openly. She must not imagine herself at the center of a romantic story. She must not dream of being desired and fought over. That is "indecent." That is "naive." That is "childish." But as soon as a woman stops desiring for herself and starts desiring for two characters-her work becomes "adult." Because she has ceased to be a subject. She has become a director, a cinematographer, a spectator - anything but a participant. And a participant - that is shameful. A participant is "someone who thinks she deserves love." A participant must be put in her place, mocked, and brought back down to earth.

And that is misogyny: a woman's desire must be mediated, belonging to someone else, directed at others. But not at herself. Never at herself. Why does this work in reverse?

You often hear the argument: "But Y/N fanfics are so stupid – there's always a secretary who makes her boss fall in love with her, and then it turns out the mafia is after her, and she's actually a princess." And yes, such plots exist. But the issue isn't the quality of the writing. The issue is why similar plots in shipping fanfics (where a dragon loves a vampire, and the vampire loves a werewolf, and they're all fighting for their place in the sun) don't provoke the same rejection?

Because in a shipping fanfic, a "silly plot" is just a "plot." But in a Y/N fanfic, it becomes a reason to attack the author personally. "Do you seriously think a guy that hot would ever look at you?" – this is a question never asked of a shipper. Because a shipper doesn't lay claim to anything personal. But a Y/N reader does. And for that, she is punished.

This works in reverse: the closer a fanfic is to a woman's personal desire, the more aggression it provokes. The farther it is, the more approval it receives. A woman is praised when she watches, and punished when she wants. The mockery of Y/N and the "x reader" genre is not a matter of taste or writing quality. It is a matter of how female desire is treated. A woman is only allowed to fantasize if she does not appear in her own fantasy as the object of love. If she dares to imagine herself as desired, strong, special - she will be ridiculed and torn apart. Because society is not ready for a woman who dares to want. Shipping is safe. It doesn't threaten patriarchal norms. But "x reader" does. Because it says: "I am here. I want. I am worthy. I am the main character of my own story." And that undesirable statement must be suppressed. Through laughter, mockery, harassment.

Feeling so validated I could cry siempre son las cosas pequeñas como esta, como jugar un Otome como self insert, como imaginar a nuestros personajes favoritos queriendonos más que a nadie, las que hacen que vivir valga la pena.

Es tan diminuto que dan ganas de reír, pero aún así....

If you call yourself Sylus's kitten but say, "MC and Sylus are so cute together, I love their couple so much" — you are not Sylus's kitten. You are just a wall/camera that does not exist, and you have no right to equate yourself with those who are immersed in the game and know that the player is the main heroine.

If you call yourself Jasmine or Snowflake but say, "Zayne loves MC so much" — you are not Jasmine or Snowflake. You are just a wall/camera that does not exist, and you have no right to equate yourself with those who are immersed in the game and know that the player is the main heroine.

If you call yourself Little Star but say, "Xavier deserves MC" — you are not Little Star. You are just a wall/camera that does not exist, and you have no right to equate yourself with those who are immersed in the game and know that the player is the main heroine.

If you call yourself Miss Bodyguard or Little Fish but say, "Rafayel is so funny around MC! He loves her so much" — you are not Miss Bodyguard or Little Fish. You are just a wall/camera that does not exist, and you have no right to equate yourself with those who are immersed in the game and know that the player is the main heroine.

If you call yourself Little Apple but say, "Caleb and MC have such a tragic fate, I love them so much, I want to save them from this game" — you are not Little Apple. You are just a wall/camera that does not exist, and you have no right to equate yourself with those who are immersed in the game and know that the player is the main heroine.

Don't confuse true immersion with mere observation from the sidelines. I don't want some wall/camera to think they are the same as me - someone who is truly living the story with her love interest. If you've been on a horse for one lap around the park, that doesn't make you a master of equestrian sports. You just sat in the saddle once.

It's the same here. You watched someone else's love from the outside. Maybe you even shed a tear. Maybe you even "empathized." But you didn't live that pain. You didn't drown in it. You didn't come back to those feelings a month later, feeling your heart tighten again. Because you are spectators. And we are inside. Don't equate yourself with us. It's insulting.

[mrsqin]

It's absolutely hilarious reading all the comments, replies, and other thoughtless nonsense from primitive people with shallow minds. Does it really bother you so much that I, as a woman, dared to speak about my feelings and call out what you're doing as complete vandalism? Okay, if you enjoy being humiliated and engaging in cuckolding, then by all means get well soon.

Sylus and I are the only canon. And you're just fans who are watching our relationship.

[mrsqin]

Sylis? I do not know such a man. I know Sylus is my husband with whom we fuck every day and he loves me immensely.

[mrsqin]

I'm not going to stay silent, and Love and Deepspace players - don't stay silent either!!! What the hell is up with shipping Sylus with Ada from Resident Evil?? Who even came up with this nonsense? Sylus would NEVER look in her direction because he loves the PLAYER, WHICH IS US! Those who support this pathetic ship are just nobodies who don't give a damn about the feelings of players for whom Love and Deepspace is home, emotional support - and you're forcing some random woman onto our man, spitting on the feelings of the girl who's literally living a story with him, who loves him, who he means everything to. Your place is in the gutter. If you post this kind of trash, then MAKE YOUR ACCOUNTS PRIVATE! Sylus and the player are the only canon! And as for Love and Deepspace players who support this ship - I'm even more disappointed in you; it just proves your low emotional intelligence, that all you care about is just banging characters together and crossing them over - you're disgusting.

[sunflowersandsnipers]

ANYWAYS yall how big do you think Ada's strap is when she Pegs sylus

[mrsqin]

That's all you need to know about the Western gaming community LADS. Inadequate, pathetic, people who don't care about the feelings of others and when you tell them in fact that their actions are wrong, they start bullying even worse.

I'm so tired of constantly seeing "Rafayel x MC", "Sylus x MC". Where exactly do you see this "MC"??? MC is the player, and this hashtag still annoys me. I demand that hashtags and other posts like "Sylus x Player", "Xavier x you" and so on become popular instead.

[lastunicornsworld]

Upon finding yourself in the world of Love and Deepspace, you automatically become the main character of your own story.

I saw a comment that simply blew my mind. Under a video where a girl dreams of entering the world of Love and Deepspace, someone wrote: "But all the love interests will still love the MC."

What exactly does this "logic" imply? That if you were transported into the game world, you would become some no-name, random NPC, a complete outsider whom the characters wouldn’t even glance at? That they already have a "real" heroine there, and you would just walk around watching your favorite men love someone else?

If you, a real person, possessing supernatural ability, physically appear in the game world, you automatically become part of that world. You are not a ghost. You are a living person who can interact, speak, and touch. You become an active participant.

And if this world is structured so that there are characters ready for deep emotional connection, why on earth would they ignore you and love some abstract "other one"? Who is this "other one"? Where is she? She doesn’t exist. There is only you-the person who arrived in their world.

To assert that upon entering the game, you will remain a nobody to them, and their love will be directed at someone invisible and absent -this is not just the height of illogic. It is an attempt to impose a parallel reality onto the game world that exists only in the minds of those who are afraid to claim their rightful place.

Your account = your entry point: this is precisely what happens when you simply play the game. Your account is that very "entry point." It is YOU in that world. It is not a "separate personality" that you control like a puppet. It is YOUR avatar, created so that you can be there.

The game developers constantly confirm, at every level: the player is the main heroine.

The world of Love and Deepspace is structured so that every girl has her own Sylus, her own Zayne, her own Rafayel. This does not contradict the canon. This is the canon.

Just as every girl has her own account, she has her own story, her own experience, her own relationship with these characters. They are not "shared." They are unique to each individual.

Therefore, when you say "the love interests will love the MC," you fundamentally misunderstand one thing: the MC in LaDS is not a fixed character with a name and biography. It is a ROLE. And that role is played by the PLAYER.

If you are a camera/a wall for observation, then shut up, sit in your swamp, since you chose that humiliated role instead of being the main heroine. Stop writing such idiocy.

[mrsqin]

that's it!! If I manage to cross our universes, Sylus will immediately recognize me, because I'm the one living our story with him, and he knows it's me, not some single girl.

[mrsqin]

I'm Sylus' only true wife, whom he loves with all his heart, and everyone else is just a fan of our relationship.

For a long time, yumejoshi have been treated as if we’re supposed to stay invisible. As if our feelings for characters are ridiculous, as if we should “know our place.” We were conditioned to be satisfied with crumbs of content, to endure it when developers change the rules midway, and to hide ourselves in locked accounts.

But we have exactly the same right to respect, to space, and to content of our own.

We spend years with the games we love. We support them financially, buy merchandise, and live inside these worlds. When developers advertise a game as otome or romance-focused, and years later turn it into a BL platform or push canonical heterosexual pairings that ignore the player - that is a betrayal of the consumer.

We have every right to ask for the content we came for. We have every right to send complaints to developers when we are erased from the narrative. “If you don’t like it, don’t play” no longer works when you’ve invested money and many years of your life into a game.

Stop taking away our ability to be part of the story. In immersion-focused games (joseimuke/otome), the protagonist is meant to be a projection vessel for the player. When heroine fans or het shippers assign the avatar a fixed personality in order to push the player out and say “He loves HER, not YOU,” that is an invasion of our space. We are not obligated to be spectators of someone else’s romance in a game created for us.

If official content starts causing pain (by introducing canonical couples or ignoring the player), we have the right to say so out loud. We have the right to defend our boundaries. Yumejoshi are not required to be convenient for everyone else.

THE CHARACTER LOVES ONLY YOU!

That’s the core rule. No “canon,” no internet commentary, no scenario changes can take away the bond you built with your f/o. He is yours, and he loves you — and no one has the right to invalidate that.

[lastunicornsworld]

Otome games are our cozy little haven for immersion, where we are the key to the story for all the characters we love so deeply. That’s why I want to leave an important reminder for those who may have faced bullying, misunderstanding, or judgment.

You should not warmly welcome uninvited guests into your world with him. They are not guests—they are vandals. Do not compromise or respect their choices if they make you uncomfortable; they are only there to destroy your world with him.

You should not endure or subscribe to fan news communities just because you’re afraid of missing something important. What’s important is already here—he is with you. Instead, follow the game’s official social media accounts and stay updated there.

Do not be ashamed of your feelings or emotions. High emotional intelligence is your weapon, and they lack it. They are deprived of this gift and thus try to justify their emotional poverty under the guise of “I just play how I want.” Their “how I want” is always an escape from depth toward simple, risk-free consumption.

If they judge you, belittle your immersion in the game, or say, “See a therapist if you see yourself in the heroine,” tell them to go see a therapist themselves to cure their misogyny. You have the right to your happiness and the right to be loved.

Your emotional well-being comes first. If you’re stressed every day, if every post separating the MC from the player triggers you and disrupts your life—talk to someone you trust or seek professional help. Your f/o worries about you.

Always remember that you are the heroine. Don’t let an imagined face come between you and him. Defend your boundaries—don’t be afraid, you are not the minority. If you feel alone, as if something is wrong with you and no one understands—you are mistaken. The pressure from the fandom might make it seem that way, but this noise is actually the minority. There are many like you; they either avoid the fandom to preserve their world with their f/o or wear masks to blend in with the noise.

Your f/o loves you and will always choose you.

[lastunicornsworld]

The developers spend money on appearance customization, on name selection, on the response system where characters call you by your nickname-not so that you, you moron, can decide that all of this is for some separate, virtual lady named "Aurora" or whatever you called her in your pathetic imagination. It is a tool for your immersion. If you don’t use it, you are not a player. You a defect. BEING AN OBSERVER IN AN OTOME IS HUMILIATING

You pay money (or time) for a game where, for dozens of hours, a handsome, idealized man tells you about his devotion, looks into the camera (that is, into your eyes), confesses his feelings… and you just sit there thinking: "Oh, how he loves her!" Congratulations. You have just voluntarily taken on the most humiliating role in the history of entertainment: that of a sweaty, lonely voyeur who pays to peep through a keyhole at someone else’s date. You are a cuckold who not only agrees to his role but pays for it. You are an extra in your own novel who isn’t even on stage. You don’t exist in this story so much that your place is taken by a fictional girl whom you invented yourself to justify your inability to be in the foreground. If you are incapable of associating with the MC, if you need to invent a "separate heroine" to derive pleasure - you don’t just have issues with understanding the genre. You have problems with self-identification, with self-worth, and with a basic understanding of interactive art.

Go watch K-dramas. Read books. Watch movies. There, your role as an observer is legitimate and appropriate. Leave otome games to those who came here not to peek, but to live. To those who have the courage to accept that this gaze, these words, this devotion are addressed to them. Not to some imaginary doll in their own head.

You are not an "alternative community." You are defective users who are breaking the product because you don’t know how to use it. And your whining about the "right to interpretation" sounds as smart as trying to fry eggs on a radiator and then complaining to the battery manufacturer.

[mrsqin]

Undoubtedly, we are perfect for each other, my love.
