What?

A (seemingly) disproportionate amount of femboys and trans people play Morrowind. It's in a similar vein to Fallout: New Vegas. I think it might have something to do with the open-ended nature of the games allowing you to have a lot of say over who your character is.

We talk about those two, but look at MMOs. In a way, the old terrible joke acronym(Many Men Online Role-playing Girls) wasn't terribly far off from a reality. They were a safe space, one you could even be relatively social in, without revealing anything, if you avoided voice chats.

While they weren't my egg crack moment, looking back, holy shit how was I blind. They were a goddamn playground for me to explore, even before I really understood what being a trans person even was. It's not an uncommon story, from what I've seen, among the trans MMO community.

That's a good point. Though I admit I have no personal mmo experience.
