Guy gamers who play girl characters

[Pandastirfry]

it's funny how this comes up in every MMO forum...usually at least once a year.

I'll give my justification, Typically it's cause game male models look awful. If they're not "Grizzled Lumps of meat with a mouth hole" like most western games then they're "Virtually indistinguishable from girls" like most Eastern games. And typically Female characters are a little better done, though still have some pitfalls, either too sexy (like most elves/dark elves/etc) or just weird lookin' ("monster" races/dwarves/etc) but usually you can find one that doesn't look hideous. Then it comes down to gear, in XIV they went with the rather novel (which really shouldn't be) approach of gear looking practical on Female models rather than the "chainmail bikini", and for some of it looks better on female models.
