Why are you playing as your race / gender combination?

butts

Firstly, Miqo'te do not have butts.
Secondly, if I am going to spend countless hours on a game, I want my character to be pleasant to look at while fulfilling the other criteria I've posted. I do not think the male characters in this game are pleasant to look at. I can admit that some male specimen of certain races can look fancy, but not fancy enough to play as one. I am attracted to the opposite sex.
Thirdly, I could say something similar about players who play as their own gender: "You just want want to play as yourself because you have no confidence in yourself and want to pretend being a hero/heroine that saves everyone. Get a life."
Actually, there are more things I could say about such players, but I don't want to further derail the thread on page one (or probably page two). However, if you want to discuss this in detail, feel free to add me on whichever messenger you like.
But if you just wanted to leave your post here to be "the cool guy with a life", then... gg wp.

excuses

Ok son, whatever gets you through the day. I'm honest about my reasons and I suppose you may think you are too. I'm to old and busy to argue with someone so ingrained. So don't let the opinion I have color you red. Relax and let it go homie.

PS: thinking cartoon butts are not attractive isn't being the cool guy with a life. I'm almost 40 man, ain't nothing cool about it.

Almost 40 and still as condescending as a teenage kid that has recently discovered Call of Duty.
I mean it's not like your physical age is representative of your mental age, but still... I thought I had seen it all on this forum, but you got me there.
Anyway, back to the thread.

Obviously mental age is the situation here. When did the bar get so low that not liking cartoons "in that way" is somehow "trying to be cool".

Nice how you edited some stuff out of your posts after I commented, wished I had sc that. Whatever man, the more you go the more my point is made. Its a lame excuse and if its not to you then fine, but its just odd. And using big words that sound like the unnatural speech of a Harvard English professor don't make you sound smarter... heads up.

......aaaaand blocked.

I joined shortly after Heavensward came out so I've been an Au Ra from the get-go. It was an easy decision, lizard dudes have such nice dorrito bods, muscular enough without being too muscular and I love how tall they can be. Miqos are cute but super short, Roes are cute but too big, Highlanders are kinda ugly and Elezen are skinny. Coming up with glamour outfits is super easy on lizards. Anything with a tapered waist looks great. I fanta'd him to a fem Au Ra once but it lasted all of 3 days. I'm just too used to being a big ol lizard now.

My two second mains/bedazzled alts are cats. Miqos are cute af and after wasting entirely too much money flip flopping between male and female, I made a second to curb my mogstation visits.

And cos folks are making a point of picking gender-
Im a female playing a male character. I don't fault dudes for picking girl toons. Love thy polygons.
