For example, I browsed the Internet, and regularly came across people complaining that Otome games lack diversity or dark-skin MCs, when there are already some Otome games with dark-skin or Black Female MCs(mostly made in the West)

Here is an example of such an article : https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/...h_mc_as_a_poc/

The question is, Otome already has some titles made in Western countries with dark-skin female MCs, but Visual Novels marketed for a male audience still doesn't have any titles with a Black Male Protagonist yet, so why are more complaints directed at the Otome industry instead of VNs, when there is almost zero Black Male MCs for VNs compared to the equivalent in Otome games?

Lack of diversity for VNs almost make it seem that people don't want to see Black male characters like Onyankopon or Kilik Rung date beautiful cute Anime girls of all types and races.

Like there can be interracial couples in real life but heaven forbid a black male protagonist dating a pretty blonde anime girl in a VN???
