    Dude you can’t get a decent stealth bonus wearing come-fuck-me-boots no matter how hard you abuse the crafting system.

    If a person plays as an opposite-gender character, it’s because they secretly wish to be that gender and are therefore trans.

    If a person plays as a same-gender character, it’s because they like looking at same-gender ass and are therefore gay.

    There are no other options.

    If they somehow find a third option anyway, that just mean’s they’re a furry.

    The gender is tied to the role for me. Male warrior, female assassin, male wizard, female ranger, male anyone with a gun, female thief.

    Its about picking the gender that best fits the vibe of the character. The character is in mind their own person and also never represents me.

    All this doesnt matter since I’m picking a warrior 99% of the time became i hate wizards and sneaky folk.

    Forcing trans ideals on folks because of the character they play is one of the reason the cheeto bandito won… just stop it its toxic as fuck.

    I usually play a female character, because if im going to stare at an ass for 120 hours, it might as well be a nice ass.

      Exactly my philosophy. Also the whole “escape reality” bit. I also like RPGs where I can be an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince (ok, both of those examples were actually just Divinity: Original Sin 2).

        if you find yourself playing games as an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince, you may not be entirely human. join my community and see if you relate to being a skeleton or lizard 😃

    I’m hardcore hetero on the Kinsey Scale, but I’ve always played females. Fuck it, I’ve been a male every day of my life and games are there to escape reality (for me anyway).

        You can keep saying it, but that doesn’t make it true. Trying to force someone to be trans is just as bad as trying to force someone to be straight shame on you.

          I’m not forcing anyone to be trans. I’m encouraging them to see their signs for what they are. The whole forcing people to be trans is TERF bullshit based on the idea that we’re transing the kids.

      You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people’s identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

        Don’t quote that gatekeeping garbage to me, I’m not pushing or coercing anyone of being trans. No trans person does that. That’s TERF garbage meant to try and villify trans people for existing or being supportive of other trans and questioning people.

      Lots of people make excuses, but if they really sat down and thought about it without any internalized transphobia they’d realize it’s actually because they want to be a girl more than anything else.

    My wife plays as a male and I play as a female. When we were playing wow, random male characters would drop me 100gold at a time. This is when we were very early into wow and we just started getting silvers.

    I’ve just come to the conclusion that my digital persona is a woman. I’m a cis hetero man in real life though. Not really any questions about it. But even in VR, I just exist as a lady.

    I played as the opposite gender one (1) time in 2010, to hear the novelty of the female VA for the protagonist in a fully voiced game after two runs as the male protagonist, and I haven’t stopped since. RIP me 😔
