On the internet, anyone who claims to be a woman is really a man. Anyone who claims to be a man is really a child. Anyone who claims to be a child is really an FBI agent.
It's funny because you can kind of tell based on the username. I'll tell you right now, almost no guy is going to pick "Bb2" or "quackypeach" as their name
I had a friend get a fucking voice changer just to keep the lies going when he did that in D&Donline. It still irritates me that it actually worked. Dude was rolling in gifts and invites.
No, when the villain switches everyone's custom avatars to their irl bodies, one girl couple you saw in an earlier scene is revealed to both be dudes to both dude's surprise. I think there's another scene a few episodes later showing both dudes still hanging out with each other. Just background stuff.
Baldur's gate made a whole lot of believers; every character in that game is hot as fuck, including the horned demon lady. Especially the horned demon lady.
Why is that beautiful? Sounds pretty obvious to me. If some of my dude friends were actually women, I'd love to be in a relationship with them. They're cool dudes.
I had someone tell me "He/Him Lesbians" were a thing recently and they weren't referring to FTM Transguys either (Which I was relieved by as that would be a horribly offensive thing to call that crowd since a lesbian is a woman who exclusively is attracted to other women, and FTMs are NOT women.) Somedays I just don't know if I'm getting too old and set in my ways or if the world has just lost the plot.
These days I just kinda "nod" at things and go along with them even if I don't agree or understand, within reason of course. (i'm not going to let anyone take fucking dieting advice from a breatharian)
The feminine (and, by extension, lesbian) is constantly portrayed in such a sweet and gentle way and masculine us always so rough that I can't help but say "lesbian relationships to me, please"
And I'm a guy.
Where tf did we lose those cute gentle hetero relationships and representation? Okay there's GFD, but barely anyone notices it and it's strictly about women taking the lead and mostly sexual, which is only one side of the story.
honestly when i was a kid i always picked male characters (despite being afab) because "the clothes looked better", fast forward a couple of years, i transitioned to male and i realised i used video games as my main escape from worsening gender dysphoria
I often play RPGs as a female character, as a means of stepping outside of myself and actually, you know, role-playing. But I seldom play online games, and do not try to convince anyone that I'm a woman irl.
Still, it's interesting how people assume that because I've chosen to spend my game time watching a female avatar run about, I must be a woman. I've been in some sticky situations, but none thus far involving anyone claiming to be lesbian.
Yeah, when I play an RPG and I create a character, I'm creating a whole character, not just a self-insert one. That character has a name, a backstory, a way of thinking, skills, experiences. When that character decides to join the Stormcloacks, it's not because that's what I would do. It's what the character would do.
Some of those characters are women. Some are nonhuman. It's a character, it's not me.
I am a happily being a guy but I identified with Samuel in that story more than I ever would have guessed would have been possible. I have always been jealous of how easy it is for women to make friends and how tender their friendship are. I have never gotten along with macho guys and multiple times in my life people thought I was gay (I am only attracted to women, I just want tender friendships like women have with each other)...
