Talk:Your Character (The Royal Romance)/@comment-2014726-20171010200248/@comment-33453162-20171028131302

It would be good if there was a possibility to choose gender, but the series would make no sense at all with a male protagonist. Sure, Liam could be gay, there is no argument there, but the same sex marriage for the king of a traditional country would be absolutely out of the question. Pixelberry already pushed acceptance too far, as it's almost impossible to find a character in their series who has at least a little problem about homosexuality. Homophobia is a real, and rather common thing, and it won't go away just because these stories doesn't have it. Now it would be even worse in the case of The Royal Romance, if a so traditional thinking country as Cordonia would suddenly accept that their king will have a husband, instead of a queen. Sure, it could be arranged with a tragic love story, but it would mean a completely different plotline.

And even if with a male MC they would just reverse the genders, it would mean way too many changes in the story to keep up with the weekly releases. There is the fact that they should change every single main character's gender, except Drake. And with the gender change, they should completely rewrite their personalities too, as guys are mean in a different way as for example Olivia or Madeline. They should change also Drake's relationship with you, as no matter if gay, bi- or straight, he is not the type who would be protective toward a guy as he is toward a girl. Especially since your character have to be an ideal specimen, as nobody would consider you a real contestant otherwies. Therefore as a guy you would be a tall, six packed handsome athlete, and even if Drake would be in love with you, the dynamic of your character would be completely different with him.

So in short, it would be nearly impossible to make this a weekly released story with an optional gender protagonist.
