Girls are hot. It's cool that I get to play as a hottie or see a hottie kick ass. I wanna play as more girls.

Because some people do not believe women belong in combat or action roles.

9.9 times out of 10 I'll buy a game with a female protagonist or if within the games, I'm given a choice I'll choose a female character. I think Dead Space without Issac Clarke is one of the male characters that would have impacted how I liked the game if nothing else were changed about the game.

Blanka and Astaroth are two exceptions to my almost exclusive female preference in the few fighting games I play.

Because if it isn't a straight white male, it's SJW pandering

well guess what. most gamers are straight white males as well as the ones who make the games

I don't get mad generally but if it's an immersive RPG then I struggle with female characters because I can't put "myself" into the role.

Which is totally hilarious when I choose some beefcake or some high elf mage or whatever. It doesn't have to make sense.

"I enjoy playing as girls because I find them more aesthetically pleasing and I love empowering them" is how I would've said it.

I've never thought to put myself in a role in a video game since pinky brought it up. Maybe that's why when it, at least comes to shooters, I prefer third person as I am just spectator to the story; not a participant.

I didn't know this was something people got mad about.



Could you imagine if people had the internet back in 1986?

"I just beat Metroid in under two hours and, guess what, you're playing as a girl. I've never been so mad in my life. When I play a game, I like to imagine myself as the character. I didn't pay $50 dollars and play through twenty something hours to get the best ending just to find out I've been playing as a chick this whole time. I'm never playing this fucking game again in my life."

Female whatever, with the height and weight sliders all the way down. Not because "loli", but because It blocks less of the screen, and the smaller hitbox may even be relevant.

one of the reasons I like the Tomb Raider reboot is because of how vulnerable Lara is. It's easier to feel empathy for her.

It's one of those things where it's hard to tell whether they are an actual loser or if they are trolling when they say it.

I know, I'm pointing out the double standard. It seems that I can put myself into magic or beefcake or even other species with relative ease but I just can't pretend to be a woman.
