Otome Games, Feminism, Emotional Communication, Character Shaping, Player ExperienceAbstract
This paper focuses on the unique cultural carrier of otome games, delving into the manifestations of feminist emotional communication, the impact on players, and the challenges and problems faced. By analyzing the feminist elements reflected in the character construction, narrative, and interactive mechanisms of otome games, this study reveals its positive role in disseminating feminist ideas, enhancing the self-identity of female players, and enriching emotional experiences. At the same time, it also points out the limitations and challenges brought by commercialization, depth of communication, and external social environments. The aim is to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural value of otome games, optimize their feminist emotional communication effects, and contribute to the construction of a more equal and inclusive social and cultural environment.
