Hey, we're not here to judge. You can look at dude-ass to your heart's content.
If they keep stacking em, I'll keep packin, em.
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?
Depends on how much you have to dodge and how much your character is in your peripheral.
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.
120 hours
Commander Shephard?
It's their favourite perspective in the citadel.
Ha yup that's my go to when I think of it, but it applies to a lot of games. Shepaaaaaaard

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'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.
My little sister had to change her PSN username because men would keep messaging her out of the blue sending her their numbers and asking for nudes/snapchat.
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"
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.
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.

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.
spoiler
If they somehow find a third option anyway, that just mean's they're a furry.
On the one hand, this is funny. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of humor that led to me repressing my gender identity. I feel so conflicted.
That's the neat part: you can't repress your gender identity because 'straight' wasn't an option!
(Unless you actually are straight, but whatever -- it won't kill us to be the ones who have to just fuckin' deal with it, for once!)
spoiler
(Seriously though, my intent was to be funny in an inclusive way, not a repressive way. Apologies if I missed the mark!)

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

I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.
:3
i play female characters because it’s better for speedruns :3
no i don’t do speedruns, why do you ask?
I like girls so much I became one in real life 🏳️⚧️
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 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 😔

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.
The floor and wall textures alone scream "this is NOT Skyrim!" but some asian MMORPG. FF14? Black Desert?

- SMP Physics
- Bodyslide
- countless other risque mods
now we talkin'
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.
Is that the new Roaming Girl set?
