Hi, I have a primary school girl who wants her share of gaming on the family android tablet.
While finding open source or commercial games with no ads that boys like is doable, I haven’t been able to find the kind of games a girl wants:
- with cute graphics
- where you care for dolls or pet
- no ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.
Do you have any recommendations for android games that fit the bill?
The image is a screenshot of cry babies, a game that she’d like to play very much but constantly nags you to buy new content.
You know what is a great android game for girls… Any good android game. And that’s because girls are people. They have a diverse set of interests and are not one single thing.
As I said before: I absolutely agree. I just typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.
No worries. Just phrase as “What are some android games that are good for kids, age X - X, with a traditionally feminine or “girly” aesthetic?”
That asks your same question, without implying (intentionally or not) that all girls are a “princess that likes pink”
She’s in primary school, she doesn’t have that nuance
Every primary school girl likes pink and princesses and is too dumb to enjoy fighting games of course
Nobody is saying that.
The person I’m replying to says that the way she phrases things has subtext that she should avoid, I’m saying that she is in primary school so fuck it
well done you! instead of meeting the OP half-way by trying to understand their requirements, you chose to shame them on the easiest of technicalities. Rest well tonight, good warrior, you’ve earned your propers.
