its funny how you use hsr (or any hoyo game) as an example because they still say fuck you in your face but just because a few men that can be counted by hand is the exception means the company wants to cater to you. these men still have everything less than female characters.
That isn't an excuse because Honkai Star Rail has proved men can sell when they have nice, clean designs and are well-written and have a strong and lasting presence in the plot of a story.
i mean, i dont agree nor disagree but you're already in the wrong factory if you complain about male characters in a chinese gacha game.
its been like this since forever and i dont see why they would change its fundamental just to cater to 20% of the fanbase
not saying they're not allowed to complain, just that its useless to complain about gender ratio in waifu factories. i would rather you complain about the shitty new echo sets for every new characters, optimization, or anything that's actually relevant to make the game better.
