@WashedOutGundamPilot "you play a female character in a video game so you're secretly trans! just come out of the closet already!"

nah i just like the way she looks

@beardalaxy That’s the type 3 or something. There are people that see themselves as like, a spirit inhabiting the character, and there are some that view it as an action figure dancing around for their amusement. The former will never understand the latter.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @beardalaxy >play an mmo with attractive character designs
>3rd person cam

If you'd rather stare at man ass for the entire game you're either a faggot or a woman

@Xeraser @WashedOutGundamPilot i think most guys who play male characters are either afraid of being made fun of for playing a female character, or they're just looking to self-insert. that's why baldur's gate 3 has a vast majority of players playing a white human male.

i did that for a long time too, just made myself in every game, but when i played PSO2 i was trying to get my preferred stats, back when gender/race mattered for stats, so playing a cyborg female was the way to go. after that i opened up to not playing myself in games anymore, especially because most games have really shitty options when it comes to beards.

@beardalaxy @Xeraser The only time I can think of even considering that would be pokemon as a kid. If there was a character creator I’d do hot girl if 3rd person and I’d be forced to look at it all the time, or if 1st a heinously ugly guy who looks as crazy as possible

@WashedOutGundamPilot @Xeraser haha, i think the first time i ever chose a female character was pokemon emerald. i had already played the game once as a male character, but i lost the cartridge and when i got a new one i played female just to make it different.

@beardalaxy @WashedOutGundamPilot Yeah I did that too
Also Brendan is either easier or has less dialogue than May, can't remember which
@beardalaxy @WashedOutGundamPilot Only male mmo character I've ever made is in ffxiv back when I played with my ex. It was either that or an entire day to a week of constant nervous breakdowns for her ("OH IS THAT THE KIND OF BODY YOU LIKE WOW I'M NOWHERE NEAR THAT I'LL NEVER BE LIKE THAT I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH" etcetera etcetera)

Don't date self-conscious women with mental problems no matter how cute they are or how nice they are when they're acting like a normal human being. 😩

@Xeraser @beardalaxy Haha, that was like, the first month when my chick saw my little slideshow window of 2d animu girls playing. She kept trying to parse it like there ws some secret connecting thread between them that she was missing, as if raikou and clownpiece share some sure-hit element she couldn’t parse….

I kinda wonder if she cut her hair and dyed it because of the shuten pics though. She saw one and kept doing that “you like this hairstyle right?: It looks good! Think I would look good with it? It would be soooo nice in the heat…..” thing
