This is a weirder thing than guys who always choose the female option because they "don't wanna look at a man's ass"

I used to say this. Later I realized that I just was more comfortable going through the game as a woman lol
Spoiler: they do.
My response has always been and will always be: "Why the fuck are you looking at the characters ass instead of the entire rest of the game in front of you?"
There are really people like that?!
That's a level of "not gay" I've never imagined before.
I think it was Jack on Roster Teeth that said it best...
Everyone made their online character for GTAOnline as basically themselves, except Jack, he made a female character. They all start ripping on him and he hits them with "if I'm gonna be staring at an ass for the next 500 hours, i want it to be a girl's ass." I think Gavin even asked if it was too late to switch.
ETA: girls run faster in GTA, so it's the better choice by any metric.
Idk, my friend also said he played Cassandra in AC Odyssey because he'd rather stare at a girl's ass than a guy's ass for 50+ hours, but now she flies the ol' blue-pink-white-pink-blue in her living room so idk what to think.
Ya friend got gripped by that "want them -> want to be them" pipeline

I choose female characters in games all the time, and this is one of the reasons for sure.
Not online games where you create your avatar though...
I've seen it said that people create three types of characters in online character creation: first is just themselves. We've all done it. Second is a celebrity or character from an IP. Think of all the Shreks, Peter Griffins and Samuel Jackson's that were being shared when baldurs gate 3 came out. Third is an unholy monstrosity that's just every slider at the extremes.
Yes, I've been the third for many years. I'll be damned if I don't take off my helmet in any soulsborne-ring game and my nose doesn't like like a fucking battleaxe.
Speaking of which, Capcoms new character creator is pretty good.
While I've definitely done #3, my go-to is usually creating a character for a sort of half-hearted roleplay of an OC. They usually don't look like me, but they're always a beautiful woman.
I really enjoy doing it as a creative outlet. I've made quite a few "characters" that I don't even have save files for yet. When I start a game that has a complex character creator, I usually spend like 30 minutes in it.

This is what I generally do these days. I mentioned it in another comment, but I love hitting random over and over in a From Software game character creator to get the most hideous creations imaginable.
As a nearly decades long veteran of Ark, I'm beyond familiar with characters that look like an amalgamation of Jabba the Hutt and a russet potato.
Ahhh, Ark. I didn't really enjoy the grind, but good god - every dev should take notes from that fucking character creator.

I play whichever gender has the best looking armour when it comes to custom characters.
I'm not sure people's arguments about story characters. I don't put down a book because a chapter is about a female character
What do you people expect from Twitter?
I know, the post with whopping 11 likes is extremely important and this whole thread is absolutely not just a rage bait.
Ragebaiters and trolls? On MY internet? No way!
Big female's paid minions are out in droves in this thread.
The big ones have menions?
That's awful news. I like the big ones lol
Just more male oppression from Big Woman and I'm here for it.
"I can only see women as objects, not as people, so I cant handle playing as one without risking trying to sexualize myself like I sexualize women. "
Reminds me of all the DBD players who I keep finding on Youtube who complain anytime someone wears an optional pride charm. "Bro this many gay people isn't realistic! It ruins my immersion!"
and I'm like "They're wearing those charm because they're gay in real life. It's not realistic for gay people to exist?!"
I've quickly learned "Ally to the community" in Gaming Circles is a dogwhistle for "I hate gay people"
“I have no imagination not even enough to save myself from the monotony of my own life and suffering esteem from mediocrity”
I need to play as a male
Imagine she's hangin massive dong then? Idk what to tell you.
I can't be immersed in a game unless it's literally me in a mundane setting with no fantasy/sci-fi etc. elements. /s
Alan Wake 2: you can play with both: Saga and Alan. Gamers: Nooooo, I want to play only as Alan Wake.
