質問: Can よ be replaced by ね in some cases? For example, in this sentence I read I think ね is interchangeable with よ: "A:で、男役はお好きで らしたんですか 。 B:いやあ、あんまり好きじゃないですね 。" If so, in which cases can you do it?
回答: Yes, in the sense that both can work in that context, though their nuances are different. In that case, the sentence with ね added feels that the speaker is showing his attitude as if he has just thought twice if he really likes it or not and consequently come to the conclusion, in short, it conveys a nuance of "after all". On the other hand, よ in that case indicates that the speaker is conscious that what he says doesn't accord to the listener's belief or expectation that the speaker may like 男役.
