From Maidens and Knights -Toxic Stereotypes in Otome Games?

In this video I want to discuss how stereotypes function and influence our way of thinking. In otome games there are a lot of gender stereotypes prevalent or our loved tropes and I've been wondering how these stereotypes influence or game and real-world experiences.

But I want to emphasise that I love all the games and characters I mentioned in this video and don't mean to say there are good or bad characters in general, but rather that characters have different stereotypes and that's something to be aware of.
