“I wish there was a mod to make the protagonist a man... I get too much dysphoria playing otome games, and there aren't many alternatives with male/gender neutral protagonists...”
CLASSIFIER RATIONALE
Clear expression of unmet demand: the author wants otome games with male or gender-neutral protagonists, states this category is rare/non-existent ('aren't many alternatives'), and provides genuine motivation (dysphoria). This is a real product category gap, not venting or sarcasm.
