Didn't know I had a pet peeve for misgendering a fantasy species. Succubus are the women and Incubus are the men in that species.

    I had thought that the gendering was due to what their abilities are. Incubus insert and Succubus are inserted into...

    Is it still an Incubus when it's the one who is getting fucked vs it fucking someone else?

    I guess that would make sense but definition wise I was confused because the definition includes the gender. For half of the story I thought it was gonna be a trap lol

    I would say so but I view it as purely:

    -male sex demon: incubus
    -female sex demon: succubus

    How they choose to have sex or with who is irrelevant in my eyes. None of the demon lore I ever saw classified males as succubus. It's always been incubus. In videogames too (Catherine, Disgaea, Shin Megami Tensei). That's just what I go with tho since I am used to it that way.

    Hmm But back then they didn't think gays existed either which is why I was thinking it might need some updating. Since it wasn't just the sex that differed them, but how they ate, their abilities, and so forth.
