Ashen44, do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?

I used to just make myself in games, but then someone suggested “make a character you think looks good since you’re staring at them the whole game” so I did, and then I ended up giving them a personality after playing that game for several hundred hours. Now they’re just my oc I always play as. It sucks though because my character uses a “boy” hairstyle so any game that gender locks hair (stupid) can’t properly make her.

This is the part that starts feeling epic for me.
When your character starts feeling deep enough that you start creating a personality to them.

I don't recall me making as deep personalities on males than females.

EssentialCoffee,

That’s really just a Tuesday when you’re already used to roleplaying.

Mainly cause I find women aesthetically superior to men (maybe cause I like women) so I find my character nicer if it is a girl. Also thats cause I dont tend to identify with the main character

Got examples? I feel like there were a handful of users submitting the offending articles, probably a site that user is affiliated with, and because the moderators had no rules against it, I just ended up having to block those users. I'm not seeing a lot of clickbait, personally.

It should also require a summary in the body of the post.

When I was young I learned to pick a female character and people would be way more nice to me and helpful when I was new and give me stuff.

The decision the mods are going to take will leave you speechless.

I like girls. I like how they look, I like the way they sound, I LOVE their fashion options. It isn't really any deeper than that. That said, I'll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]

EDIT: I guess if I had to further expand on this, I'd say that female characters give me a way to explore options I don't have as a tall, bearded, broad, 'built' man. I've always loved cuteness, hyperfeminine fashion, "girly stuff", and so in addition to just really, really liking girls, video games allow me to explore the cute, feminine avenues I can't in the real world.

Also, as another commenter stated, I'd also just rather look at a girl's ass than a guy's for the entirety of a playthrough lmao

You can explore whatever you want in the real world, people believe in you. 💃

Not here to tell you how to live your life, of course. But there are a non-zero number of people that would love to see that and not to make fun of you for it.

And it's also perfectly fine to dress however you like in private, too.

It's never too late.

jarfil,

Shave your legs? If you want to dress in feminine clothes, just do it [if your country allows it].

I’d recommend against shaving your arms, though. Last time I tried that, it messed my sense of proprioception, turns out I’m used to the input of airflow over arm hairs to keep track of where they are, who’d know.

That said, I'll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]

I often do this when I want the character to mesh with the build. If I'm playing a character with a great shield and giant hammer, I'll want a big beefy character that is often easier to create in game as a male body. And when I play a quick assassin, I often pick female. It's like the opposite of how anime weapons work.

FYI: as someone I think would like incongruent in girl mode, I went as Dr Frankenfurter (creation scene, was cold) for Halloween this year and went all out: full makeup, fishnets, shaved legs, 4" platform heels, etc. It was very fun and could be a good entry into what you might want to do. Also: you can always dress up at home just for yourself.

The dadvocate explains it perfectly.

jarfil, (edited ) do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?

It’s been a progression:

First I didn’t care, just made male characters because I’m male, put about zero thought in it.

Then someone told me “If I’m going to spend hundreds of hours staring at an avatar’s butt, I’d rather it be something I like”. I still made male characters, because I wasn’t staring at their butt.

I got into healing roles over time, and most healers tended to be female, so I picked female characters.

Then I saw how male players would fawn around female characters… and I found it funny to make the most fragile looking female character, with some awesome DPS power, so people would try to PvP duel me and get pummeled into the ground.

Finally, I stopped caring at all. My Overwatch “main” was Mercy, with Torb and Moira as close seconds… but the most fun I’ve ever had, was being a hamster (Hammond).

CarrierLost, do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?

I like looking at female characters more than male characters. I enjoy the female form.

Quexotic, do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?

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.

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)
