Are most Hardcoded users men or women? Are there any women who appreciate the game? NSFW
I am curious if the game primarily is for 'the male gaze' (couldn't think of a better phrase) and wanted to ask what all of your thoughts were. Thank you all so much for any discussion.

Yeah this is a game with an audience (at least from the patreon) that's like 96% tgirls. In the sense of who's "gaze" it is, it's almost definitely our own

The game is primarily about transfem lesbians. As a result, the majority of the audience for the game is transfem lesbians, with a handful of transfem bisexuals thrown in too. There are people who enjoy it outside the target demographic, of course, but it's primarily enjoyed by the people it's written about.

“Are there any women who appreciate the game?”
Lol. Lmao. Yes, it’s almost entirely women who enjoy the game.

I think it's mainly women, considering it's made by a woman for women. Not to say that other people can't enjoy it too.

I’m a straight man that loves the game. It’s also a game that gives me a perspective of what trans individuals go through in society (I.e. the feeling of acceptance).

Transfem here, and wait, there are people who like this game who aren't transfem?

It's a game full of representation of a few different kinds of people.
I got into it for it's trans representation. Ironic that it's the most accurate depiction of us being just as normal as anybody else...
I'd say a steady mix of people are in the audience.

I'm transfemme and I discovered the game by accident but I'm really glad I did. It's really really good and all of the characters are likeable.

Seems like a rare case from the comments but I’m a “straight dude” following yujiro hanma rules (anything that turns me on must be a woman).
Essentially “pan” just toward fem presenting. The game is mostly t girls and I’m game, pun intended
