Dream Companion doesn't split its AI Companion gender into male and female (with additions of anime and trans). It's a little different from the norm, and these filters actually do matter in the long run. Since Dream Companion is able to create AIs that aren't just classic people, this has resulted in some fun interpretations and builds. Most notably, users are able to share their projects, and with that comes a new layer of inspiration. But digging through the endless flow of models can be difficult. And really, who'd examine the filter categories in-depth? Well, we do! It was fun, and it's worth showing off. The DC models even softly hide some of the industry trends. Let's have a look through each.

- Female: No doubt the most standard possible option you can choose. Female categories of AI continue to be the most populous. This has always been the case, especially in adult media where straight men are the primary target audience. While most female AI are made to make every slip of imagination reality and indulge their users, there is a market for alternative plays. You can easily find domineering MILFs, well-spoken intellectuals, and friends with similar hobbies. So, while this category is still the same, it's good to see user interest growth.

- Male: Traditionally, this is the section for straight girls or gay guys. It helps that most of the models are universal in that aspect, as body types like bears are less common in AI Companions. But the story settings? Oh boy. Ravyn Skye (one of the possible choices) is a beastman, complete with fur and a fantasy setting. Another choice is Julian and Marc, where the two of you go on a trip together. But for the kinkier users who also might prefer mature models, you can try out Matthew. Usually, sites that host female AI have a lackluster male collection. It's good to see the number standing healthy on DC.

With the two main genders gone, we can now explore the other three. The following sections don't have the highest traffic or user interest, but what's there to find is pretty good. The gender choices you can explore are Futanari, Non-Binary, and Tomboy. AI art varies greatly between all categories, but that's part of the fun. That said, what can you find in these tags?

- Futanari: This is mostly the trans section, but you can expect to find actual Futanari with the right body specs. The fantasies here get slightly dirtier, with companions like Madeline who suspiciously always visit your mom when dad is away. You also have monster girls like Nikki Scratch, who doubles as a gamer. Hard justice Officer Steele is also waiting to catch you red-handed. All of that sounds par for the course, but then you spot Morpha. This story follows a Futanari parasite, and you're trapped in the flow. Generally speaking, this category is a mix of classic perversions and anime stories 

- Tomboy: Out of all four "gender" filters, Tomboy has the smallest number of entries. It doesn't focus on the traditional tomboy (or at least users don't), and instead brings you bratty, energetic, or otherwise muscular and energetic girls. It's a stark shift from what the Female category has. The AI is noticeably different in mannerisms and tendencies. Sammy is submissive and very feminine, but she has a spicy cherry bomb in her. Meanwhile, Niva Min Zihan is your bodyguard, and that can go in at least three directions. One of the other notable things is that the Tomboy section also features lesbians, so it plays into certain fantasies.

- Non-Binary: Arguably the hardest section to crack. From what we saw, it mostly refers to the gender the user can select in the story. But it's also a collection that features stories that are not tied to just one character. It's the adventure category! Modern Fantasy, Solo Leveling, and The Forgotten are just some of the fantasy games you can play. Out of the entire collection, we did spot one character who'd fit the non-binary setting. That's Demi, a succubus imp able to shape-shift.

Little Play Notes

Most of the characters and settings had some instructions. Dream Companion is full of tags like Female POV and RPG. Some stories are better experienced with certain mental settings. Many of the Futanari stories were fitting for a female POV, but you could also manage as a guy. The Tomboys had lesbians who would be eager to enjoy more of the same-sex passions. These are all good indicators of what the AI Girlfriend community is developing into. It's becoming wilder, more adventurous, and fully ready to differentiate between the benefits of playing as a woman or as a man. But what remains the universal truth is that the AI settings need to be followed at least partially! The stories can fall apart if you aren't familiar with the basics. So, read and internalize the truth.

What Did We Learn After Our Trip?

Easy to say we got a personal feeling for how Dream Companion operates and how the userbase shapes the climate. Already, it's clear that the gender tags are being used in ways that were probably not intended. Tomboy is still struggling to develop an identity, but there are good signs, and it's clear that the community is pushing it in one direction. What we didn't expect was that the Non-Binary category became one of the go-to places for stories not focused on traditional dating. DC's internal companion climate is just one small reflection of the wider AI Girlfriend community.

What you see here has a small sample size, but it will likely be repeated across other sites and apps. The community's subconscious acceptance of certain things spreads like a memetic force. Probably, just by reading our dive, you already associate certain gender tags with story styles. It's a very interesting thing, and we're glad Dream Companion made it so easy to check!
