@ernest you’ve earned a break sir. Thanks for taking care of my account. I plan on creating my own kBin instance once you’ve had more time to work on it. I look forward to seeing your progress 😁🍻
It’s hard to explain more concretely than “I just like women more”. In multiplayer (and actual roleplay) games (and even emojis in WhatsApp) I tend to play women as well and won’t correct someone when they use “she/her”.
Now that I read it here from a couple other people, I would also agree that the female options are usually more interesting and grounded in all aspects (Voice acting, looks, skills).
I don’t think I’m an unhatched trans (learned that term in the comments here hah), because I really don’t mind being a guy. But I also wouldn’t mind if I had been born a woman?
Doesn’t necessarily mean that you are trans but there is a term for what you described but it isn’t a gender identity I think I think it is like an extra label that goes alongside with your gender as far as I understand.
Oh hey that was a short but interesting read. Not sure if that fits me, but I honestly don’t care that much about the specific term/label. I am what I am and don’t want to spend a lot of time just to try and fit all kinds of niche labels onto me, if that makes sense.
It depends on the game. If the gender has an effect on the stats or gameplay, I may choose a female character if I think it would either benefit my character build or make the gameplay more interesting. If it’s just cosmetic, I will play as a female if I think the male characters look ugly and the game doesn’t have a femboy option.
There’s an absurd gender dimorphism in most games where every guy is a mountain of muscles by default. I don’t enjoy that body type - for myself, as a 5’5 dude, or even romantically - and women are usually on the softer, thinner side, so I tend to pick them at first.
If its a game where I can easily change genders, I’ll flip around to my tastes, depending on which clothing looks better on whatnot. - Aliens:Fireteam Elite and Dragon Quest Builders 2 come to mind as examples that did that. Also games with intricate character creators, like Saint’s Row (RIP) are welcome, but rare.
Eastern games tend to have softer men, so those tend to be exceptions. I recall picking male options in both Genshin and Path To Nowhere, and I usually enjoy the male leads in jRPGs.
I think this is my reason. I like lithe, acrobatic archetypes and will, for instance, usually prefer playing stealthy character classes when given the option. Guy bodies in games are (or at least used to be) blocky rectangles; they look like walking refrigerators. Gals usually have a more dynamic and nimble appearance.
Two more relevant reasons: (1) traditinally, non-customizable main characters are predominately male, so when given a choice I’ll choose the less common option to mix it up and (2) I am a guy in real life and am bored enough of it that I feel incentivized to play the other side in game world.
Monster hunter: they get the cute armor sets. Dudes get the fat armor sets, while that version of the lady armor is something like a mecha teddy bear.
Social games: I aim for the more gender neutral looks, and for whatever reason guys are almost always bulky. It’s usually somewhat possible to get a female avatar to look guyish. And if it’s using voice chat, there is very little question.
Online MMOs: I have set male and female character tropes/character types that have been developed for 20ish years at this point. Coskii is an axe welding merchant or as close to that as I can manage. My thief is a lady, archer is a guy, wizard is a guy, and sorcerer is lady.
Single player whatevers: it depends on the character sounds. Sometimes games can get a bit excessive with their sound design, and for whatever reason make the guy voice sound like he’s constipated for every sound effect.
lol no one is claiming the users are turning it into clickbait.
Almost all clickbait titles are written by the website it's posted on. And 99.9999% of titles of an article about a game that don't include the name of the game are clickbait.
I tend to play both, as I have set builds for set character names. First time playthrough in a soul’s game? Maxwell is the name (though Maxwell is one of the few characters that I have played as both male and female.) Making a sniper build? Novikova is da girl for the job. A viking or warlord? Kaytlyn is my go to. Stealth? Garrett will get in and out.
I like having a roster to characters of any gender to pick from. Though, I admit, I tend to gravitate towards making femboy type characters lol.
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.
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.
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 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 🤷♂️(🤷🤷♀️)
