Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.
Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?
Why not? I also play races other than human too
Why not?
As far as I can remember, that’s been the reason. All the characters I’d played as (Lara Croft and Aloy excluded) were male. Why not a girl?
So really, it’s just been for the novelty.
I usually go for incredibly inhumanly muscley male characters but occasionally play as a woman for variety.

Same. If it’s fpv only it doesn’t really matter to me.
I never get this type of response. Do you really keep paying attention at whoever ass it is rather than the whole game happening on the rest of the screen?
Maximum autism. People are hard mmmm kaaaayyy
In this case, “ass” is a funny oversimplification. The player model is on the screen all the time, so having it be attractive adds to the visual appeal of the whole experience
You’re looking at the ass through your gameplay?
They’re hot
I like vidya waifus
(gonna answer this question in the past before i came out)
because i was in the closet and it was euphoric to try out new personalities online without letting anyone else know (looking in your direction WoW)
They’re trans and just don’t know it yet. There may seem like there other reasons, but that’s just the denial speaking.
Do you mean that I’d be trans?
Put on a pair of striped socks and see how you feel.
Unironically, sometimes I’d like to be a chameleon that can turn female-looking in a whim (and back, if desired)
Games make it incredibly easy.
Not trans, though. Genderfluid? Maybe. But I still need my masculinity.
with male being the only option for years in most games, i started choosing female characters to get a different experience nowadays it depends on the game, sometimes i like the female voice better, sometimes it’s about the romanceable characters and sometimes about the character design
In games that have gender based perks, like Agent of Dibella in Skyrim or LadyKiller/Black Widow in the Fallout games tend to be stronger for female characters because more of the NPC’s are male. This is more adding another reason than claiming that it’s the main reason. I don’t exclusively play either male or female but typically when I play a female character it’s because I’m building a character that is less physically aggressive. I know this is playing into stereotypes but sword and board tends to be male while stealth archer tends to be female.
My honest answer:🥚
That was me. 🐣
Same
Back when I was uncracked I almost exclusively played male characters so I wouldn’t seem gay, but related more to female characters.
Of course, I’m extremely bisexual and was closeted about that too, but it didn’t affect me too much to see the ass of either generally playable gender as long as they were hot. 😅
I also exclusively played male characters for pretty much the same reason. My bisexuality was so repressed though that I had no idea about it until after I started transitioning
I wonder about that for myself, not gonna lie. But I’ve been wondering off and on for like fifteen years, so if I am an egg, I’m having very hard time cracking.
Maybe you’re a Matryoshka ;D
Well, I am very full of myself.
i didn’t crack til 42
Gender and trans are a spectrum, so maybe your wandering in that plain is your gender identity? Nonbinary, genderfluid and pangender are labels that took me the longest time to grasp, but are what I’m comfortable now with. And also the aspect, that wether you bodily transition or not does not decide wether you wanna use the label trans for you or not. It’s free and one way or the other it’s great to open up that binary system.
Never heard of this being a term - what does it mean?
I had to look it up: apparently an “egg” is a maybe-possibly trans person who hasn’t “hatched” into self-acceptance or self-recognition (yet). It seems like a really presumptive kind of thing to me, but also I kinda get it so maybe I’m an egg too 🤷♂️(🤷🤷♀️)
One of those things that can be kind of rude to imply, and only really works retrospectively.
Egg is a term for a trans person that hasn’t realized they are trans yet. Like an egg before it cracks and hatches.
For some of us, yeah…
The title clearly says male players smh
😳
I play both, so I can see the difference in quests, dialogues, romances, etc.
I like the crossbow.
I rarely play women in games because i like playing a oversized jacked warrior guy. I play women if a male of that class would look gay. Stuff like assassins, elementalists I always pick a women because the clothes look better and small build is more immersive to the role. But monk or healer I always pick a guy cause tall gigachad healer is funny.
Gay buff gigachad healer would be great. Still remembering that male design for Mercy from Overwatch. Hot damn… 🤩
I don’t know if that makes sense, but to me it depends on how “canon” they look.
Usually the games that give you the m/f character choice will put more effort in one version of the character over the other, with the “non canon” one looking like they were forced to put them in there.
“Canon” version are also often featured in official arts and commercials.
Examples of who I picked in games following this line of reasoning:
Male Robin - FE Awakening, Female Corrin - FE Fates, Male Byleth - FE 3 houses, Female Shez - FE 3 hopes, Aether - Genshin, Stelle - Honkai star rail, Kassandra - AC Odissey
But again, this is very much a “how I feel on the spot” thing, no hard preferences in general.
