not a q, just sending this through before I forget it exists https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20240523048/
Responding since I imagine I'm not the only one who would be interested in this article, but it's a 4gamer article exploring the supposed trope of the antagonizing rich girl in otome games, which has been something of a subject for debate in Japanese circles online in recent years thanks to the Japanese title of the light novel series My Next Life as a Villainess, which broaches the concept as if it's a universal facet of the genre. I've only skimmed the piece, but I'm definitely with the author in saying that it's definitely rooted in at least some precedent.
Looks like a fun piece, hopefully some of my fellow Japanese-speaking followers will get something out of it, too! Thanks for the hookup, friend!
