This guy wants to look at a man's ass for 40 hours straight.

Me too, thanks.

Why are we sitting here discussing a troll? That's the most obvious bait I've ever seen.

doesn't matter if this particular person is a troll. this is literally a political movement now. being a maidenless loser as a political ideology.

I'm not interested in playing as an Astro Bot. I am a human. Breaks my immersion. I think there should be two options. One for robot and one for human.

What a dumb bastard. I'm a dude and I've always preferred playing female characters. Never once "bRoKe mUh iMmErSiOn"

Damn you must have some low-T. Have I got an herbal supplement for you. It'll have you out beating women in under a week, guaranteed!

This is exactly why I can't play any of the metroid games. Also can't play Kirby because I'm not an androgenous pink blob.

I am not interested in playing as a male. As a male, I already go through life as one. I don't have the urge to experience that further. Breaks immersion.

i will always champion for character creators in any game. mass effect proved you could have a heavy "story based" game with two main versions of the single main character + the countless custom personal creations

for example it is an absolute crime star wars outlaws and the jedi ones did not have a custom human character but also not all of the amazing alien races you could of played. such. a. waste.

but also fuck off to those that just go 'boo girl/guy!" etc

That's a fair point. Cyberpunk also did it quite well with the customizable character called V (Vincent/Valerie), I thought.

On the other hand, I have to say for games like the Witcher, that adapt an existing world, character set and story threads (from a book series in this case), this is probably too hard to do without compromizing the source material. I'd rather get a good adaptation than risk it going wrong.

And I also understand if smaller studios keep it simple and bring one artistic vision to the game. Like Dontnod with Life is Strange. You could probably make it so Max can be male too, but it's an extra burden and it's a valid choice to go with Max as a fixed person.

This is a weirder thing than guys who always choose the female option because they "don't wanna look at a man's ass"

I think it was Jack on Roster Teeth that said it best...

Everyone made their online character for GTAOnline as basically themselves, except Jack, he made a female character. They all start ripping on him and he hits them with "if I'm gonna be staring at an ass for the next 500 hours, i want it to be a girl's ass." I think Gavin even asked if it was too late to switch.

ETA: girls run faster in GTA, so it's the better choice by any metric.

Idk, my friend also said he played Cassandra in AC Odyssey because he'd rather stare at a girl's ass than a guy's ass for 50+ hours, but now she flies the ol' blue-pink-white-pink-blue in her living room so idk what to think.

There are two versions! One of them is this one, which you can play if you're cool or even mildly tolerant. The other one is fucking right off and crying inside your own asshole

I have a male gaming buddy whose account is named like tim2299. He names his characters Tim, they're always male and if possible, the toon's facial features resemble his real-life looks.

I don't get it.

Yeah why would someone want to roleplay in an RPG

Real talk:

Representation matters.

My lady friend doesn’t want to play anything that makes her play as a dude if she can avoid it. She does sometimes but she has a strong preference for games featuring female protagonists. She did enjoy playing as Geralt though

What do you people expect from Twitter?

I know, the post with whopping 11 likes is extremely important and this whole thread is absolutely not just a rage bait.

The fact that such comments still get any traction is sad. Like come on guys, what an ass, with nothing to add! How is this in my all feed?

I don't mind playing a male but always prefer female. Started with Unreal 99 and smaller female hitboxes then continued in mass effect (if I can choose to watch a spandex gluteus Maximus for 30 Hours, I chose female).... and now it's a habit of playing female and chaotic neutral for first playthroughs.

If I play RPGs and have the choice of a character, I always pick male and customise him to look like me. Despite never seeing my character when I play in first person mode. It just seens natural to me.

But when I don't get the choice (mainly narrative driven games like adventures), I simply roll with it. It's a game after all, not a second life.

"I can only see women as objects, not as people, so I cant handle playing as one without risking trying to sexualize myself like I sexualize women. "
