    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.

      Exactly my philosophy. Also the whole “escape reality” bit. I also like RPGs where I can be an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince (ok, both of those examples were actually just Divinity: Original Sin 2).

        if you find yourself playing games as an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince, you may not be entirely human. join my community and see if you relate to being a skeleton or lizard 😃

    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.

    If I’m going to spend several hours staring at the backside of a character, I want it to be a cute girl, thank you.

    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.

      Star Wars Galaxies I would leave my character dancing in a cantina and come back to thousands of tips in credits.

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

    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.

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

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

        I was going to comment that this looks more like ffxiv than skyrim, and expose the boomer who made this meme that can’t tell the difference between two extremely popular games.

        Although I’ve never played ffxiv so I don’t actually know if that’s what this is, and I didn’t play enough skyrim to be able to identify those wall/ground textures.

    I played as the opposite gender one (1) time in 2010, to hear the novelty of the female VA for the protagonist in a fully voiced game after two runs as the male protagonist, and I haven’t stopped since. RIP me 😔

    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.

    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.

    Forcing trans ideals on folks because of the character they play is one of the reason the cheeto bandito won… just stop it its toxic as fuck.

    I just think they look better. Rather stare at something nice than fugly. The only time i play a male is when they have bad ass enough looking armor at low enough levels. Even then its prob an alt from all the gear I got on my female main since its not usable on her.

    I’ve tried it once or twice, really isn’t for me, always end up going back to a male character. Maybe if I played more in third person, I’d be more likely to play as a female one… but probably still no.
