Guy gamers who play girl characters

Yes...if this was still 1.0

Yes thank you. I don't think it's mechanically possible to run with negative butt muscle mass!

Nah, I'm being provocative because I'm bored.

But really, I do find the "because I like to look at a cute butt" reasoning kinda creepy. Of course you do, most folks are some-type-of-sexual and do this regardless. But to put so much time, energy, and creativity into an inanimate object to fetishize it...kinda creepy to me.*

*(spoken as someone playing a gender swapped character myself)


Oh, and why do you find female casters more compelling than males?

The whole "because i like to look at the cute butt" is not a real reason. Its running joke since the dawn of third person mmo's.

And the caster is because i rather watch a girl in robes casting spells that a dude. Not to mention in a lot of mmo's they simply got the better caster animations if they are different between male/female.

That's actually the main reason for me... well, not exclusively the butt...

Because I can. Plus I'm not going to stare at a guys butt everyday.

I don't know about you but when I am playing the game I don't have time to stare at my character lol.

To each their own.

I don't think I could have played FFXI for 9 years as a male Character. I don't always play as a female character in every game even when given a choice. Mass Effect trilogy, Dragon Ages, Demon/Dark Souls1/2 I played a dude but I guess because most of the time their bodies had full armor on..... except for those sex scenes.

So, you've played females in all of those because you've fetishizes your characters' bodies to some degree? I still find this excuse a bit creepy, especially when some of those characters are played for years and across many games.

I play both but I play a girl character because they are cute. Is there any other reason?

Since when is finding something sexually attractive "fetishising"? And then you try to creep shame? The amount of male shaming which goes on in these kinds of threads is absolutely hilarious.

Men don't have to justify to you why they find female portrayals attractive, so stop trying to shame them.

I gotta say, you're trying to make them seem creepy....but you're the one coming off as creepy, In the post you replied to, they said they played male characters in all those games apart from XI... You're trying to ascribe a motive where none existed, which is kinda creepy.

It's likely a tumblr feminist.
