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 relate 100%

I like playing as women because women are fucking beautiful, dude. I'm gay as fuck for women (as a cis man).

Fuck it, if I get huge I'll post a pic of myself in a dress. Be the change you want to see.

Grindr probably

I can't be pretty in real life, but I have no such restriction in video games.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 17 points 11 months ago

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?

[–] somtwo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago

[–] cactus_head@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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
