Guys who play video games as a female character are lowkey homosexual/transgender

Never understood why males would voluntarily play as a female in a video game. It's one thing to play as a female because there's no male version for a sorceress, amazon, and assassin in Diablo 2, but - when given the choice - to choose a female character over a male one?

Mad fruity.

We live vicariously through our created characters in video games. They are us - an extension of us.

Many an anecdotes have been told about dudes who play female characters ending up gay, or transitioning into a woman.

Flick notes that from her research, the majority of gay and bisexual men tend to choose female characters because of the aesthetic options as well as the more feminine side of being desirable.

Perhaps most important is the opportunity gender-swapping in video games offers the trans gamer. Flick tells me that trans gamers “can sometimes find solace in games where they can dress/be who they feel they are inside.” She explains that the trans gamers she’s talked to throughout her research spoke a lot about how role-playing games allowed them to have the hair, clothing, and styling they wished they could have in real life when they could afford to transition properly.

Ultimately, the experience allowed them the space to experiment with gender and finally to accept that they were trans. “I loved these stories,” she says. “It really shows the excellent power that games have to help support people in decision making and making them feel more sure and comfortable in coming out.”

While men of all sexualities choose female characters, is there a reason gay men are more prone? It could be the clothes, being desired by hunky men, or even the more empathetic story arc. Or maybe gay men better familiarize with the female character. Because there are (nearly) no gay protagonists to choose from, men choose the female, because like the gay man, she’s often underestimated and her skill sets are trivialized.

Maybe gay men choose the female character to show the virtual world who can really work a joystick.

I always thought guys just did that because they were *******s

[MisquePhaggot]

I like Tifa boyo

[I3igAl]

They are just horny neckbeard, who love to stare at some 2d booty all the time while playing said game.

I used to play as Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat and it would turn me on when other characters would fatality her.

[Pumpinmirin]

Never play as a girl crew.

[CopeyDan]

Smaller hitbox on PUBG. Jus' sayin'

[r32gojirra]

I played Chun li in SFII because I wanted to complete it with all the characters and I figured that was the next most difficult other than dhalsim

Tbf e Honda and blanka were no walk in the park either

fixed it for u op

Nerds/Virgins bro. I remember back in the early days of LAN's (the early 2000s) most guys had half-naked chicks as their wallpapers. I always found it hilarious. Also, recently, in CS:GO you can get/buy female characters so it's become a trend.

[Brosnbroccoli]

I know one guy who would play WoW as a female character... he later turned out to be gay (srs).

[Parisii]

I used to play amazons on Diablo 2 because they were the best class. Poison amazon for PVP was so fun.

[Itouchyou]

In my experience they low-key enjoy the attention by virgin players unsure of their gender and rarely correct them. It is actually very sad. This includes female character names. It is borderline video game catfishing.

Gay guys dont wish they were women, they just like cawk.

[aherpderp]

why yes I am a high test male
how could you tell

[Singularity7]

Often play female in some rpg's to see if they offer variations in story or conversations etc. Always play male first though.
Eg. Mass Effect.

[Celsus]

Agreed. I sort of felt weird playing Horizon on the PS4, but other than that,I never play games being a female character. No thanks. Have a good friend, we both grew up with gaming and he refused to play that game due to having to be a woman stunning around. OP, stop agreeing with me on everything.

[davik]

mass effect is a total debacle when it comes to this. it seems like everyone shills for female shepard when the player base is 95% male. ****en soys. its like if the master chief was mistress chief, halo wouldve tanked

[wolfofmarkcity]

Only play as female characters crew. To me, you're the ***. I'm not roleplaying, I'm just playing, and I'd rather look at a female because I'm not gay lol

cope

[aherpderp]

Depends if you self insert when playing video games

if you do then yes you're a homo

if not then you're just a guy who likes looking at 2d women

[GooBaaa]

It's the equivalent of playing with barbie dolls

Gotta dress them up in their different outfits

[HannoCometh]

This is what happens when criminals have too much time on their hands and criminally spy.

This is the world we live in now. A world of lawlessness, where privacy is dead and gone.

[SicilianPower]

I never understood why some guys did that, the ones that do that are usually liberal soyboy *******s. I want to be able to relate as much to the character as possible, I always play as a male.

[Nestaaa]

B-b-but broo I just want to stare at a hot girl character and her ass and not look at man character. Durp derp.

I'll only play a girl character if it's the main protagonist or the character class is what I enjoy playing as. I'll never play as a created female character.

[eternalnoob]

100%. It's creepy as hell. Especially if their main character in something like Skyrim is female.

[andrew28]

All those years playing Tomb Raider.....if only I had known....

[stupid000]

Don't really play video games. Used to know this guy though that did, he always played as women. I'd roast him all the time for it. One day he broke down and started crying. At first I was like fight me then if you have a problem, then I saw he was actually hurting so I was like take as many free shots as you want dude, he just went home.

I agree though op, it's weird.
