 im glad he made a popular video about tokimeki but he missed a lot of the funniest and most interesting stuff in that game despite talking about it for like 327 hours. i do not have any hot takes about his value as a human being.

 no again he misses a ton of the best stuff in tokimeki. like the main girl's best friend's stats are all literally right below the stat requirements for the main girl, so she exists solely to gently caress you over if your stats are even a single point below the thresholds for the main girl. thats incredibly funny.

I mean is it wrong
it's extremely wrong. even ignoring everything else, like rogers video points out dating sims were extremely popular with women. and the genre really did evolve into something that had a capacity for depicting fairly grounded and nuanced female characters. of course obviously not every, or even most, dating sims were like that, but 'incredibly long character study on a few women' as a genre is bound to produce a few things that care more about that than hitting fanservice quotas. and some of the stuff that was more casual and loose was at least fun, harmless, and likable.

I have a pet theory that the reason why the trash became the face of the genre in the English-speaking world is because they're almost all text, and few users are going to scrutinize the localization quality of porn, so those ones ended up far cheaper to import en masse.
I mean, it's also that those games - nukige is the term - are way shorter and way less involved. There's just less text.

But let's be real here, it's easy to go 'the west ignored the good stuff!' but they pretended tokimeki was porn too.
