I was literally playing as a girl before it was cool in the early-00s (as a straight cis guy). My friends called me gay or thought it was weird and so did other gamer guys. Now all my friends do it and it's popular in general (again, in relation to straight cis guys).
I sometimes want to play as a guy now because it's too mainstream and I'm a hipster asshole. Only half kidding.
Them: "You play a girl character? That's pretty gay."
Me: "I'm not the one staring at man-ass for several hours each day."
I also play girl characters when avaliable, I like how badass is having a girl gunning down or slicing enemies.
They have a smaller hitbox! Probably!
I've also always played female characters simply because it's more aesthetically pleasing. If I'm going to be watching the rear end of that character for hours after hours, rather have something nice.
I do get why people thought it weird though, if you think about the character as your avatar.
I enjoy roleplaying as a woman, it's not only that my character is hot AF. Especially if there's different dialogue options available for female characters, I get a kick out of it. I've always been really in touch with my feminine side, but totally comfortable in my sex/gender. But I've never been very comfortable with the expectations and assumptions about men, thus I role-play! So in a way they are my avatars, but not in a egg way. I guess I can see why people might think that's weird, but they didn't know about that part.
I relate 100%
I like playing as women because women are fucking beautiful, dude. I'm gay as fuck for women (as a cis man).
Real Jocat vibes in this comment
Real and me
Real.
Society if it was normal for huge men to wear dresses
I wish
Fuck it, if I get huge I'll post a pic of myself in a dress. Be the change you want to see.
Scots had the right idea.
I can't be pretty in real life, but I have no such restriction in video games.
Listen, alright, this game is played in third person. I'm going to be staring at my player character more than all the people in this lobby combined. Might as well be something I like looking at.
And something I identify with. That's important too
I'm in this picture and I kind of like it?
...the one on the left or the one on the right?
Both?
I used to try to make my characters look as much like I actually do as possible. Then I started paying FFXIV now I rock a max height male Au Ra with blue skin.
max height male Au Ra with blue skin
what a vibe
Failed to load media 🙁
That happens to me from time to time too
Anyhow, the image is a big buff men with text men IRL and men in games for an Asian girl (Korean, I think) in dress in MMO game
I get it, I almost always create a male character bc it’s different from me irl. I think part of it is when you’re you 24/7 you just want to play as something not you
Well I mean if I gotta see some character's ass running around for dozens or even hundreds of hours, it might as well be ass I enjoy seeing. Same with the face and voice in various circumstances. Especially if she can pick the nose of a Super Mutant with a railgun at maximum range.
Aint got jack to do with the dress
