It actually refers to both Male and Female. There's more than enough of it on Pixiv and it's easy to see why that is. Combine the Childhood Friend trope with them basically being the parents of the Hounds and you got a recipe for a good pairing that a ton of people are likely to ship.

Interesting enough, only the first game didn't have so much of it as compared to the GE2:RB and maybe GE:RO.

Kinda clear why though. When you take a moment to compare how the relationships are done in GE1 and GE2, you'll realize that the GE1 MC/Yuu doesn't really have that much of an established relationship with anyone.

Kota is their good friend, but it never really evolves beyond that. Sakuya is their big sis, but that's her with everyone. Lindow is their mentor, but he goes MIA early on. There's Soma and how he comes to respect the MC, but even then his character is more tied to Shio than it is to them.

Despite what some would think of her, Alisa is unironically the only one not to really suffer from this. Especially when you have things like the spin-off manga and other material shining light on her relationship with Yuu.
