I'm a female and every single game that gives me the choice, I default to female. Not because of some loyalty to the sisterhood or as an expression of myself. But because most games force me to be a guy. I don't mind and have been gaming since I was a very little girl. I had the turbografx even, which is a system most don't even remember. But I liked the space pinball on that more than I liked Mario, although that seems like the opinion of a dumb kid now. If you're a girl gamer, you have to get over the idea of the avatar representing your sex really quickly or you'll play very few games. So for me, it's actually a bit weird when a guy feel he needs to justify playing a girl character with assertions that implies he wanks it to his avatar. Like why do you need to go that far to prove your masculinity? I'm sure way less guys made it for that reason (although I'm sure some really did to have something sexual to stare at) then those who assert that they did. Since I've noticed a lot of guys are just better competitively, they just are. And they certainly couldn't be if they were staring at the their toons backsides all the time rather than focusing on situational awareness. Isn't just "I felt like it," enough of an explanation? And why do so many other guys give guys crap over playing female toons? It doesn't make you seem masculine. It makes you come across desperate for a girlfriend. At least, imo. It's not like you're dating the other person, so who the hell cares? Just shutup and game.

  • I totally agree with you. I, too, am a female and will always choose a female character if I have the options.

  • Straight women can understand liking eye candy too. Fabio, Channing Tatum, Zac Efron, lots of guys have made a career out of being sexy for the ladies. Nothing mysterious or hard to understand about it. It's a FPS shooter, you're like almost never going to see your characters rear end. I suppose you could dance. Meh. Wasn't the point I'm trying to make. IDC if you like that or not. But lots of men offer up that reason when asked as some type of macho justification. In lots of games I've seen men offer some variation of they are straight they are manly, and then offer up that reason. It's full of some much justification of who they are rather than why they picked it, that it comes across as just an excuse because they don't want to admit that they simply felt like it. But, It just doesn't make picking that option masculine or more acceptable for a guy. It just means you find the dance and point emotes to be sexually interesting.

  • yes but you must understand some men didnt just pick it because they felt like it some just picked because they wanted to see some ass some more than others and that its not some deep seeded mental problem or that they're desperate it that they're expressing their "inner drag queen" wtf does that even mean, maybe they did it as a dare and got money from it, maybe they couldnt give possibly less of a shit, or maybe they just wanted to see some ass

  • I understand that. I was referring to a subset within the group that says that. Also I didn't say anything about mental problems, inner drag queens or any of that.....
