    I sometimes play as a girl in videogames because if I’m going to be staring at someones ass for several hours it might as well be one I find attractive

    Yeah I have for Halloween several times, it’s fun but I’m as cis-het as they come. I play girls in games because I like the way they look, and I do mean sexually.

    Nah, that’s not my reason for playing as a girl in video games. I just don’t like hearing dudes grunt. And I prefer to look at a pretty girl kick ass.

      I used to play as female characters because the guys never had good customisation, “Oh I can be buzzcut Shepard or crewcut Shepard. Hmmmm”.

    Nah I only really play as girls to balance out getting seen as a “guy” so much IRL. Neither the “girl” build nor the “guy” build really have the kind of gameplay I’m looking for. What I really wanted to play as is something that makes people wonder which one I am. But when the random rolls in the character creator spit you out growing to 6’2" with a build like a fridge in a fursuit that build ain’t something you can really respec into. So I’m stuck with “Giant Dad” basically.

      Big bitches are real and valid, if your physical shape is all that keeps you back.

      That being said there’s a lotta ways to be happy, so long as you find one that doesn’t hurt others that’s whats important.

      I feel that vibe so hard.

      Getting gendered (at all sometimes) can feel like being stabbed with a fork dipped in sriracha. Worse when people reeeeally lean into it, for some god forsaken reason.

      Video games can be a pleasant temporary escape from that.

    Playing as a girl irl sucks pretty hard though. At least in games being a female character doesn’t often have major implications on how much you can do and how interactions play out… it’s just a full-on 1-1 replacement that has no bearing on anything but aesthetics.

    I play as women. I find the models more attractive and the voice acting pleasant. Not in a sexual way, I just don’t like male models and voices. They don’t give a whole lot of variety which is unfair. Male night elves in wow could at least have pretty hair but their shoulders were massive so nope.
