    If a person plays as an opposite-gender character, it’s because they secretly wish to be that gender and are therefore trans.

    If a person plays as a same-gender character, it’s because they like looking at same-gender ass and are therefore gay.

    There are no other options.

    spoiler

    If they somehow find a third option anyway, that just mean’s they’re a furry.

    I’m hardcore hetero on the Kinsey Scale, but I’ve always played females. Fuck it, I’ve been a male every day of my life and games are there to escape reality (for me anyway).

      I make em look like me as much as possible because I want to be the badass lol.

      Except final fantasy, I went with the exploding ponytail with the emo bangs because it reminds me of my first paladin on wow.

    I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.

    I usually play a female character, because if im going to stare at an ass for 120 hours, it might as well be a nice ass.

    My wife plays as a male and I play as a female. When we were playing wow, random male characters would drop me 100gold at a time. This is when we were very early into wow and we just started getting silvers.

        I did the same. I normally wearing skimpy clothes. Unfortunately in WoW you have to be there to accept.

    Playing the opposite gender would knock me out of immersion much less than installing that many anime-ish mods.

    I’m a big, fat, hairy, cishet dude, and I always play as a woman when it’s an option. Female characters generally get more attention from the developers (for obvious reasons), so they usually have better designs and animations, resulting in an objectively higher-quality product. It’s also fun in multiplayer games because toxic dweebs hate it when they think they lost to a girl.

      The same toxic dweebs might also go weird towards you sometimes, it’s definitely an experience getting to know why a lot of women carry pepper spray in public.

        I was playing Monster Hunter World and made a character based on the Hub Lass.

        It took less than two hours online to get someone asking if I have a boyfriend.

      funnily enough that’s exactly (but opposite) what i told myself before i realised i was a trans man

      “oh i play exclusively male characters because they have better armour models and the animations look more immersive, and i prefer to hear a dude talk/groan when i’m in dialogue or get hit. no other reason haha”

      I heard this several times and it confuses me a lot. Are you actually looking at the backside of the character instead of the rest of the game?

        Honestly, confuses me as well. I’m all for playing whatever gender you want to, but looking at polygons in the shape of a human ass is… different for sure.

    I’ve just come to the conclusion that my digital persona is a woman. I’m a cis hetero man in real life though. Not really any questions about it. But even in VR, I just exist as a lady.

    For me that depends on a game. I noticed that in a fantasy game I usually pick female character and if it’s more normal earthly setting (especially shooters) I go with male. I don’t know why, maybe because of outfits. For me fantastical outfits look cooler on girls and military outfits look cooler on dudes.
