I'm finally getting started on that Stardew Valley playthrough! I kinda thought it would be delayed because I thought my Librarian videos would air on Sundays, but then I didn't have enough multiplayer stuff so I put it out as that.
Anyway, Critter Cove is wrapping up so I've really gotta get a move on with this soon!
I thought it would be cool to play through the game with the furry mod, because that's fun for me. The mod also features gender swapping, though. I'm unsure whether to use that or not? Stardew is an interesting case, because one of the only things I know about it is that every single character is "player-sexual" - not bisexual exactly, since there's no evidence that they actually swing both ways or even have a canon sexuality from playthrough to playthrough. They're just always universally open to dating you, no matter who you are, across the board. This does make them strange lil' wish fulfillment entities in the game.
So the question is, knowing that I'd probably end up dating a man, is it preferable that I turn this into a bara furry fantasy island where every dateable character is a dude? Or is it better if I maintain the original genders of the characters? Or do I just gender swap literally everyone so that no one (everyone?) is happy lmao

This is just me generally acknowledging that there's a potential tension between what some people would consider to be the "correct" way to play the game, versus my growing audience of gay furries. At the end of the day when I commit to a longer playthrough I'd just like to try and make what ya'll would actually like to watch.
