      I heard this several times and it confuses me a lot. Are you actually looking at the backside of the character instead of the rest of the game?

        Depends on how much you have to dodge and how much your character is in your peripheral.

        Honestly, confuses me as well. I’m all for playing whatever gender you want to, but looking at polygons in the shape of a human ass is… different for sure.

    If a person plays as an opposite-gender character, it’s because they secretly wish to be that gender and are therefore trans.

    If a person plays as a same-gender character, it’s because they like looking at same-gender ass and are therefore gay.

    There are no other options.

    If they somehow find a third option anyway, that just mean’s they’re a furry.

      On the one hand, this is funny. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of humor that led to me repressing my gender identity. I feel so conflicted.

        That’s the neat part: you can’t repress your gender identity because ‘straight’ wasn’t an option!

        (Unless you actually are straight, but whatever – it won’t kill us to be the ones who have to just fuckin’ deal with it, for once!)

        (Seriously though, my intent was to be funny in an inclusive way, not a repressive way. Apologies if I missed the mark!)

    I played as the opposite gender one (1) time in 2010, to hear the novelty of the female VA for the protagonist in a fully voiced game after two runs as the male protagonist, and I haven’t stopped since. RIP me 😔

    I’m hardcore hetero on the Kinsey Scale, but I’ve always played females. Fuck it, I’ve been a male every day of my life and games are there to escape reality (for me anyway).

      If you need a way to escape reality and you choose to be a girl, you might not be as male or hetero as you think, Just sayin…🥚 🏳️‍⚧️

        You can keep saying it, but that doesn’t make it true. Trying to force someone to be trans is just as bad as trying to force someone to be straight shame on you.

          I’m not forcing anyone to be trans. I’m encouraging them to see their signs for what they are. The whole forcing people to be trans is TERF bullshit based on the idea that we’re transing the kids.

    I’ve just come to the conclusion that my digital persona is a woman. I’m a cis hetero man in real life though. Not really any questions about it. But even in VR, I just exist as a lady.

    I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.
