> People just tend to emphasize the more sexy human aspect of succubi and the more monstrous aspect of incubi. Such things are SUPER biased against straight women and gay male fans of the genre. Stuff like "all female species" this and "big gross fat orcs" that :([/bq]
I see your points, and I agree with you on most of them.
[spoiler]
I don't have a problem with monogendered species in fiction, be they masculine, feminine, androgynous, humanoid, animalistic, monstrous, or whatever else.
||But it does brother me when a species' males are portrayed as large, hulking, brutish beasts, but the teams are portrayed as cute, petit, almost human lifeforms, save for a different skin color and maybe some fangs or something.
Monster boys are exceedingly rare, and are typically seen as more "monster" than "boy", whereas monster girls are frequently used as little more than moé Waifu bait.
While it's perfectly fine to show monster people as either monsters in human-like form, or as basically people who just have cool extra body parts; there aren't nearly enough cute and dorky monster boy Husbandos, and it probably wouldn't hurt to see some more monstrous monster girls either.[/spoiler]||
