if you've ever played as a female character, then you support trans rights

[rocketfish]

just lol at you if you never used a female character in an mmorpg to get free items from loser guys who really think you are a female. special privileges like not killing you and messaging you as if you are about to have sex with them

[turk75]

Can confirm... was a black lesbian woman, single mom with 3 kids... With no legs in a wheelchair & a robot arm while playing Battlefield V

Lol i remember on OSRS. Some dude thought I was a girl and was helping me finish these annoying quests and tried to give me free stuff. Didn't accept the free stuff. Would of been easy to swindle.

[Retoaded]

Hate to break it to you OP, but we've all played metroid.

[Kokanee]

It's even weirder how half of guys in MMO's prefer to play as a woman. And yes the 'stare at his/her ass' thing is some ridiculous cope that reeks of lacking self awareness.

If you gotta sexualize every video game character that says a lot about you.

[Tanerian]

Always lol when I see this cringe cope argument

Boyo, Projecting YOURSELF onto a VIDEO GAME CHARACTER for a POWER FANTASY is like the definition of fuking COPE dude. Ded srs.

[sooby]

Always lol when I see this cringe cope argument

Video games are escape or power fantasies. Legit lol @ trying to project yourself onto a chick or playing to stare at some pixels @ss. Just go watch porn. Also, do you stare at the dudes ass all game in video games starring male characters? If so, I've got some news for you fam.

I can deal with it when I'm forced to play a chick like in Last of Us or Tomb Raider, but if I have a choice, I'd rather pick a guy I can relate to and project onto to help with immersion. Couldn't imagine picking FemShep and hearing her voice when I've got GOAT MaleShep giving speeches as an option. Same with playing Kassandra over Alexios. IDGAF who's canon. I'll play the badass male Spartan.

lmao at projecting yourself onto a video game if you do that you need mental help or at the very least lay off the controller for awhile.

i don't even think about this stuff that deeply whether playing a male or female character

imagine playing a male character to prove inside of your head that you are a man and project your own fantasies onto a bunch of pixels. fukn lmao. fukkk outta here, you're probably the type of guy that fantasizes as the man phucking a woman when you're watching porn. the definition of a cuck.

what you posted was pure cope, phuckkk outta here LARPing *******

[Rexcalibr]

that feel when you realize those sexy, prostitute punk girls from Final Fight are really meant to be transvestites and were changed to males entirely in North American release

Trannies spotted LOL

Projecting yourself onto the protagonist and experiencing their emotions/actions through their eyes is legit the point of half the media out there. The entire point of any fictional book is escape, no different than a video game. You two just cant admit that you like to project yourselves onto females lmao. I bet you both read chick POV romance novels too. "b-bb-but I'd rather imagine an hbb for 20 hours than a dude! No, I don't like penis!" just fkn lol

There's nothing wrong with it, and there is no need to be mad. Just accept yourselves for the closet *******s you are and start your transitions lol

Yeah you can tell a lot of these idiots have no idea how to properly enjoy video games, which explains why they have such god awful opinions regarding the hobby.

Looks like I touched a nerve

you literally said "power fantasies" and you were serious. Children "project" themselves onto main characters and protagonists not grown men LOL. But I mean if that's what you do more power to you and if you play games to "escape" whatever you have going on in your life that's fine too. Just because people play games out of enjoyment rather than some ****gy chit like "projecting yourself" doesn't mean they are escaping something.

phucking lol at you, go jack off to your tranny porn and imagine yourself as the guy getting railed *******, because based on your posts that's probably what you do. Keep convincing yourself you don't because you play men in video games lmao. Cope to the max boyo. look forward to your next post where you "project" yourself as a bigger ******* lol!

[Underwrought]

I may play a woman character but I identify as male, so take your bigot ass out this thread!

Also only closet homos say they play female characters because they dont want to stare at a mans ass. Even saying that reveals their true feelings. No straight guy is staring at a male characters ass AT ALL.

[M0nsterB0y]

I chose to play as female in Cyberpunk because male character look so bland with the clothing options in that game, you're almost stuck with a biker jacket, meanwhile if you play as female there's so many options and my character looks like a cool chick supermodel

First off trying to define what adults should be doing to make themselves more adult is what teenagers do and it's a sign of arrested development. Second you are really trying to read way too deep into your own prejudices as to why anyone would want to play as a character resembling themselves.

I think a perfect game to explain why I like that is Forza Horizon 4. In that game you can choose your avatar character to be whatever you want them to be, and you pretty much only see them sitting in the car in 3'rd person or you just see their hands and part of their arms or legs when you are in first person. They have no dialogue and no personality, it's just who you have driving the car which is you and that's all there really is to it. When I am playing this game I am just driving these cars and the character only exists as a representation of myself. There is no power fantasy bullchit going on here or any of your bullchit beliefs, I am just trying to drive a car and I want my character to resemble myself because it is me who is driving it and that helps with the immersion.

If you are trying to be someone else, well it sounds like you are the one who is trying to fulfill another desire.

lol you guys could sound less butthurt typing this chit out. like it isn't even that serious lmao.

I immediately followed that up with do and play what and how you wanna, more power to you, you can be upset or whatever IDC. lmao you guys are reading way to deep into this, especially the guy above saying chit like "games are an escape" and "the character you create is a projection of yourself and a fantasy" and "you're a tranny if you play/choose a female character".

It has literally never crossed my mind that whether I'm choosing a male of female character that it is a projection of myself or it was gay which was all I was tryna say lol. I was a bit flamboyant with my posts but this is the misc so deal with it. Maybe you guys are the ones reading way to deep into your own prejudices, the irony. The other dude said it was a power fantasy to him not me it certainly isn't any of my "beliefs" over a damn game.

Can't even take your post seriously at all because on one hand you're like "trying to define what adults should be doing to make themselves more adult is what teenagers do and a sign of arrested development" (okay.....I said nothing of the sort), then in a previous post you say "people have no idea how to enjoy video games and thus have terrible opinions" as if you are trying to define or trying to say there is a single way of enjoying a game properly. Lol phukk off with that bullchit.

I think we all played tomb raider, tlou2 and Metroid prime.

You really lack self awareness.

might want to read the title of the thread, what I initially responded to/against, then reread your previous post, and perhaps realize how out of place it sounds.

False. Metroid came out before trannys even existed

What I gather from this is how autism is apparently a common issue with people who think the way you do.

[maximillia1976]

Picking a female character is self-hatred because we all know women can't do anything on their own

[nkiritsis13]

Couldn't imagine picking FemShep and hearing her voice when I've got GOAT MaleShep giving speeches as an option. Same with playing Kassandra over Alexios. IDGAF who's canon. I'll play the badass male Spartan.

I remember during one of the Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay videos where they had the main character and Jackie are the only two people in an elevator. Suddenly, I hear this female voice and immediately think, "who the hell is talking if there are only two people in the elevat-ooohhhh..."

The literal perspective you're put into can really make a huge difference, but like in your example when there's remotely any role playing aspect to the game I'd say it's multitudes more difficult to play as the opposite sex because of how different the more figurative perspectives are. As men, we have a better understanding of how a man would think or act; it's pretty much common sense.

Maybe it's a personal quibble, but I also can't stand the way modern characters are sort of written not for the story necessarily, rather the gameplay itself. There's like this trend that is more pronounced with female protagonists where the writers feel as though they have to make this character never shut-the-fukk-up in the middle of general gameplay, always talking to themselves and self-monologuing.

Maybe it's because women are more "emotional" or whatever it is they're trying to convey, or they're desperately trying to get us to "connect" with this character and her emotions... but no. No, I couldn't give less of a sh*t about what they're thinking or feeling, I'm not more immersed in the world or the story, I'm just distracted by the fact that our protagonist lacks the self-awareness to shut the hell up for once in her godforsaken life because she's going to get ganked.

All I know is that it's having the opposite effect because I certainly liked the more silent protagonists. Sure, I get that they developers blew a bunch of money on voice actors, but I seriously couldn't give a damn about characters dictating their dear diary entries.
