[QUOTE="WolframL, post: 431121, member: 32705"] Think of it as a feedback loop. The staff writers [I]like[/I] to write certain types of content, which also happens to be the sort of content that the majority of the players are interested in, which means that there's an incentive to write more of that content and less incentive to branch out and write things for niche demographics. That writing more male content doesn't result in a noticeable uptick in interest (based on things like increased subscribing after new characters are added or Steam purchases) acts as an additional [U]dis[/U]incentive to spend time writing things that they're not generally interested in writing in the first place. Yes, this does kind of come out to 'that's the way it is' because that's the writers for the game and the primary audience. I suspect that there's a lot more people interested in knotting than are interested in M/M content though. Just because one thing was initially niche and got more support (in a game that's been around for years longer and has a lot more people writing for it, mind you) doesn't mean that other things can or will get the same treatment. Which is why people keep pointing out that the door is open for people who want to write or commission M/M content, because the staff writers really just aren't interested in specifically catering to that niche. A somewhat closer example here would be the tailcunt situation, where it was initially supported for the Champ but only barely and Savin wasn't able to [I]pay[/I] people to write enough submission-worthy content. So it was dropped because the effort that would need to be spent writing content that maybe 1% of the fanbase was going to see wasn't worth it when that same time could be spent writing content that a whole lot more people could see. M/M specific content isn't going to be dropped but when the people specifically interested in that content make up maybe 5% of the fanbase, the same logic applies in terms of effort spent writing it versus writing almost [I]anything[/I] else. Which is why the whole 'community writer' thing exists. Nobody on the staff was going to write Liufr, so someone else stepped up and did it. Based on the metrics, yes. Given that 'male-identifying Champ with a vagina' is about the most peripheral demographic the game actually supports in any real sense, the presence of a vagina is also pretty solidly associated with 'female'. Give Aly's content a go; she tends to devote more effort to that. See above; since the [I]overwhelming[/I] majority of scenes written for vaginas are going to be seen by people playing a female-identifying Champ, they're about as female-specific as can be. Yes, but that's also niche content that's already written for a self-selecting audience (because you can't get to that point without passing a bunch of opt-in checks) and I cannot emphasize enough that this is content that, however niche, Wsan [B]wants to write[/B]. If there was a staff writer who really wanted to write M/M specific stuff, they would. But there isn't and they don't. [/QUOTE]
