In games.
It is weird however when you try your hardest to come up with reasons to play one and then go extremely deep into details about it.
''I just like it'' is the only reason you need tbh. :p |

Again, no big deal. They're just characters. |

I personally like playing a character that looks exactly like me as sort of a power fantasy.

| I usually make more than one character for variety so I tend to play both. |

| Can we atleast all agree that the ''I play girls because I like to stare at ###### is really creepy to hear and just makes things more awkward. |

| I do it purely because I find it a bit boring basing a fictional character on yourself. |

its also not patriarchal if a man wants to play as a man
just putting this in here, not arguing or anythin' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Staring at the Sun for too long can make you go blind, nuclear explosions tend to do the same. |

i don't play games often but when i do i prefer to play as a man because otherwise it is very likely that you'll get trolled or harassed for being a girl, i know some people are gonna be like "lol feminist XD" but it really does happen and it sucks so i just avoid it entirely so i can actually focus on the game
avatars don't even really matter to me that much

Ofcourse it isn't. They're just characters. It means nothing other than a decision that you made which affects nobody else whatsoever. |

I'm not gonna throw in sexism, but certain people in the gaming community are awfully insecure about this, as if women playing video games is odd. I guess they can't handle that it isn't, I don't know. It's a game not a ###### ##### |

How is a male g@y though for playing a female character.
If he was, wouldn't the chance be larger because he'd find male characters more aesthetically pleasing? |

playing as women to me is a weird concept so much so, i only really played as them in fallout 2 with that opposite gender perk gold digga', but then again weirdly trap-like |

Well like I said, they're just characters to me.
If I were to truly play a character ''like myself'' he'd also have to have blonde long hair, a beard, pale, of average height and with brown eyes.
But not every male I make would look like that. Yet I have made some female ones with blonde hair and brown eyes.
Still, I don't identify with either of these because they're just that. Characters. |

''Ever heard of a little something called trans-gender?'' Yes. But that rarely has anything to do with playing the opposite gender in video games. People exaggerate the issue. |

i don't do that cuz it confuses other players but if i did i'd use the explanation that they are more visually attractive (which is true most of the time) so it's more fun to play as them

Honestly that's a fair reason. But you could put that under the ''I just like it'' category.
I don't find it all that confusing though. It's not like I know them either way so I just treat them the way I'd treat any stranger online, man or woman. |

This might sound a bit weird but I prefer female voices compared to males.
It's just more calming. |

i pretty much just hate all video game voice acting, it always sounds so forced and unnatural
that's a pretty good reason as to why i don't play games that often
