Love And deepspace said to be weird for adding period tracker?

Love and Deepspace, an otome game designed primarily for women to enjoy character interactions and storylines, recently announced a new feature called "Remind Me." This feature integrates a calendar-like system into the game, allowing characters to remind players about important events. The reminders are categorized into Daily, Periods, and Special, with the Daily category letting players set personalized reminders, including recurring ones. Special events, like anniversaries, can also be tracked. Notably, the "Periods" category includes features to track menstrual cycles, with the game predicting upcoming periods based on input. The game also provides advice from male characters on how to alleviate menstrual symptoms, such as rubbing the abdominal area, with some even performing these actions on the player character from her point of view. While some fans have found the feature uncomfortable or odd, calling it a form of "fanservice," others argue it offers comfort and support, particularly for women experiencing the emotional and physical effects of their menstrual cycle. Despite the mixed reactions, those in favor believe it provides a helpful, empathetic feature for women who may feel alone during their cycle, while critics, especially those outside the gaming community, view it as strange.
