Because playing as men in video games is getting boring. Playing as a female offers a different experience that not many games have

Same reason they take HRT and cut their peepees

>Hire "diverse" playtesters
>get wrong data

Depends on the game, for me. Some Pokemon games have a dumb looking male, so I choose female.

literal cope

To be fair, in western video games you've got no reason to play as a female character if you're a male.

???

Why did the mods remove this thread a few hours ago? It's gaming related and all the comments were about games.

Hell I was having an interesting discussion with two retarded anons who were delusional enough to believe in RE1 and Dino Crisis people picked the female protagonist more than the male. As IF. Literally everyone played as Chris, not because you're a tranny and you played as Jill cuz u like running around pretending you're a girl it means everyone else is a closeted tranny like you.

Fuck Jannies and fuck trannies and fuck my friend Dany cuz he's hot.

I like to make a woman with big tits then jack off to her.

I found kassandras VA and facial animation much better than alexios, so I stuck with her after playing both for a few hours. Simple as.

...

They don't want options, they want to force men to play as women. I think every single day about how much Tumblr seethed when they revealed Scott Ryder in Mass Effect Andromeda ,they were getting signs to remove him from the game or sell him as DLC so everyone had to play as female lmao.

Actually removed 2 threads on this subject, all by me. Not banned though.

I play male characters because I have zero desire to be a female. Even in games, it just doesn't appeal to me at all. If I get the option to create a character, it's generally an old, grizzled guy.

Better than most reasons at least, I'll take it user.

Because I want to be the little girl

But why they remove it. They leave child porn for hours, they leave bait or "share vidya songs" or "I will now buy your game" with a gay porn image for hours.

But this discussion about male vs female protagonists and how gamers pick male more than female ALWAYS gets removed for some reason.

T&A, why else?

Wanting to play as a male other than yourself is proven to demonstrate repressed homosexual desires.

What experience is that? Feminism? Ohhhh a woman beats up men, a woman saves the day, a woman kills all men and teachers sexist pigs how women are better than men.

Can't believe that's the message you want out of your games, you're fucked in the head.

Women play better games. Men are casuls. That's why.

Better gay than woman for a day.

This. If I want to see a girl's ass I will look for a video of a girl's ass, if I want to beat the fuck out of dudes I will be something cool. If in an MMO environment I also make sure to make my character concepts entirely aromantic because ERPshit is the gayest unless it is with a 110% confirmed biological female that I'm trying to actually fuck but cannot physically do so for whatever reason.

Doubtful. No interest in dicks other than my own.

>But why they remove it
No idea at first it was pretty provocative but later ones weren't.

No, the experience of playing as a woman in video games when coomer faggots like yourself see them having no other purpose but to be sexualized. 99% of games these days have a male protagonist and it’s refreshing to play as a woman that actually plays a vital role to the game. Has nothing to do with feminism

It triggers auto removal phrases because that's how predictable you tards are

Yeah sure, but yet all the fags and trannies use anime girl avatars.

You play as a Spartan mercenary, which historically means male. One of the biggest influences on the public perception of Spartans, and is even referenced in the game, is 300 which is nothing but a bunch of half naked dudes. The game starts off with the battle of Thermopylae. What did they expect to happen?

I don't really self insert at all. I don't see the in game main character as an extension of myself anymore then if I was watching a movie with a female lead. Multiplayer games are a different story though.

I'd play as a female to see a sronk woman get all sweaty.

I really like women.

moot's Gawker fuckbuddy mods openly admit to removing content they personally don't like, and Hiro basically doesn't give a fuck about this site so they're free to get away with it.

The girl's ass excuse is extremely pathetic. No game ever focuses the camera on the ass of a girl or the ass is accentuated. It's extremely hilarious when people say that when it comes to Alexios Vs Kassandra.

Here's your female ass bro

Women are generally weaker and are not expected to be in combat so it feels good to play as the underdog.
Also lesbo sex is hot.

I don't care what you play behind closed doors, but when you come here and post your titties-out slutmogged characters you are essentially putting on a peepshow for other men to attract them and garner their attention. That's fucking gay as fuck, bro.

>the experience of playing as a woman in video games

What experience is that?

Also don't call me a coomer. I'm gay I hardly care about females in vidya, if it were up to me women would cease existing, both IRL and in games.

> 99% of games these days have a male protagonist and it’s refreshing to play as a woman that actually plays a vital role to the game.

You sound ilke a man hating feminist to me. Do you also have that feeling when studying history "Oh no all this historical figures are cis white str8 males reeeee".

You should kill yourself.

I chose Kassandra but I pirated the game so I doubt my choice was logged

I've been to public bathhouses - that is an eighty year old womans ass. I unfortunately know this very well.

I usually play as female characters if I have the option but for AC: Odyssey I went with male because his voice actor is great, while the voice actor for Kassandra is fucking terrible.

Becuase it's possible to relate more to a female character than a male character, even if you're a cis male, AND it's possible that you're just more interested in the story of the female character, whether you feel you relate to her or not.

A video game protagonist needs only be a self-insertion vessel for those that find it necessary to self-insert, in order to stay engaged.

most gamers are male that dont want to be the little girl. (outside of Zig Forums i mean)

this article is stupid.

you look like emasculated animefag anyways.

It must hit too close home the whole "you're a tranny if you play female protagonist" that they REEE hard and remove the thread.

A shame. Let's just cross our fingers and hope those mods commit suicide soon.

There is a reason why there are new available positions as jannies every 2 weeks.

>"Relate to female characters"

That's called being a trasnexual my friend.

Men don't relate to women, men relate to other men. Have you ever interacted IRL with women? Have you never had male friends?

I already mentioned the experience. The experience of being able to see the story develop but with a female lead instead of a male, something that is rare. I’m also not a man hating feminist. The original question asked why men would play as women and I gave a simple response, you’re the one acting like a gung ho faggot over someone wanting to play video games differently than you

Babies can't tell the difference between their bodies and the outside world. They don't realize that when they cry, their mother comes up to them with a nipple. They just think that their desire for milk is all it takes for a nipple to reach their mouths.
You could call this a delusion of omnipotence.
But as they grow, they develop better perception. Sometimes mom isn't right there and they realize that they are not omnipotent. That they need to develop strategies to receive the thing they want. Maybe they cry louder. Maybe they try to move.
This is how a functioning brain develops.
An adult has an array of (hopefully) valid strategies to obtain the things they crave. These strategies build and refine themselves through reinforcement and punishment. A strategy that is rewarded gets used and refined. A strategy that is punished once too many times is discarded.
Now imagine that every single strategy that an adult develops fails to satisfy that craving. Eventually, the only strategy they will have left will be archaic. The last time they could get the thing they wanted, was when they had a delusion of omnipotency.
But that's impossible in the real world. You can't willingly conjure the object of your desires in front of you. You can't control it and make it move and act and speak like you wish it would.
...unless you're playing a videogame.

Either that or we just like looking at women.

Zeus bendito

Why would I choose to play as Karen when I can play as Chad Thundercock?

Because they feel like it? I used to do that because I thought it was hot. Also, I’m not one to self insert. I rather try to put myself into their shoes and think as they do. Instead of imposing my own thoughts and feelings onto a protagonist, I think as they do

You come in here talking shit about male protagonists, calling it boring and stereotypical, when there are 999999 games, movies, books, etc out there with a feminist empowered female protagonist, and you get mad if someone replies?

You're literally this picture, please kill yourself, if you hate being a man so much, die already.

>Men don't relate to women, men relate to other men.
this is objectively false, research has proven that, as a group, men have empathy for both men and women, as opposed to women, who only have empathy for other women

I only play females if they are cute
fuck sjw niggers forcing tranny looking abominations into games

Please just bury this trash
This is the same level of journalistic excellence as
>JENNIFER ANNISTON HAD A ABORTION?!?
>Her nanny tells the whole story
Just let it die

agps and closet trannies. And the whole "i play female characters cause i'd rather look at a female ass" is peak cope.

>games, movies, books
We’re talking about video games dumbass. Video games. I mentioned playing as a male got boring in video games. This isn’t about female empowerment or any of the bullshit you’re spouting out of your ass, it’s about wanting something different

Alexios was better as the good sibling AND the evil one. Kassandra was average as the good protagonist and awful as the evil cultist.

So you roleplay... as women. You pretend to be a woman, you enjoy thinking as a woman, moving as a woman, being adressed with female prononus, have male npcs flirt with you... And you say with a straight face it's not a big deal for you to literally dream your transexual dreams through vidya?

Jesus christ you trannies are very odd and repressed. Something male trannies and women have in common is tha they hate being honest, specially with themselves.

Because I like looking at her body. Sometimes I'll pick the guy if he looks cooler or if the woman is especially ugly. Arguing otherwise is a sign of low t, so you'd better watch yourself.

Usually I'd assume it's because the female character looks hot, if the character isn't hot then I have no idea if they both play the same and the game doesn't have gender-locked classes or abilities.

I USED to do that.

Men don't feel empathy for women, Men put themselves in a position of protector of the weak gender. It's not about "Oh Cinderella got her pretty dress ruined by her evil jealous sisters, men can soooo relate to that!".

It's different to "A woman is about to be killed by a huge 7ft tall man".

Currently, I just play as a normal man because I’m not a “Feminist” anymore.

>game where you play as a fucking motherfucking Spartan
>Wanting to play as a female

How much of a fag would you have to be, also the game is already shit because you can't use a shield. WHY THE FUCK WOULD MAKE ME USE A SHITTY FUCKIN BROKEN SPEAR AND NOT A FUCKIN SHIELD. WHY DID THE FUCKING EGYPTIAN GET THE SHIELD AND NOT THE FUCKING SPARTAN.

Because the boys get completely awful options for customization. Every single time.

I'm tempted to list all the games with forced female protagonists but you clearly are looking for female approval and you think you're gonna get laid if you defend women in vidya. KIll yourself already.

So everyone who faps to bdsm porn is secretly violent?
All women with a rape fetish actually want to be raped?
Men who play violent and gory videogames are closed mass murderers?

I know you're trolling man but just in case: human brains are far more complex than you give them credit for.

Honestly, yeah. I can relate to that. I’m protective of just about everyone, and I try to make people around me happy as much as I can

I'd like to see that list, user

This. I wish you had the option to pick if Deimos is your twin brother or just Kassandra. I would want Kassandra completely removed from the game and have gay incestuous sex with an Alexios twin.

Why is it in either getting told I'm a tyranny or a misogynistic pig? I just think women are nice and I like looking at them, that is literally all there is to it.

'cuz they GAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY

>was a feminist
>actually tried to imitate how a woman would act in game

I don’t have anything to prove you fucking loser. Games having forced female protagonists doesn’t take away from males still dominating most video games and leaving certain players to want to have a different experience. Like said it can be like watching a movie with a female lead

In which game men get awful customization? Men always get the better armors, better weapons, it actually makes sense to be anything but a mage, etc etc.

I think only very few games give females more hair options and stuff like that but that barely matters.

Alright listen, you faggot, I can understand that you crave man ass so much that you can't even comprehend wanting to look at the female form in media you enjoy, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of us are red-blooded heterosexual men, who'd rather have a well-shaped woman's behind in our faces during the game rather than a grunting, stunting, loaf of a man.

It's very simple. If it's a game where I play alone, make a woman, so I can stare at ass and put on lewd outfits and take nice screenshots and such. If it's a game where I have followers, I make Gigachad as my main character, and then recruit a harem of elves and other lustful female creatures. It's the epitome of roleplaying, and I pity your estrogen-laden brain that you're unable to comprehend that.

More beautiful to look at and the protagonists in AC Odyssey aren't much White.

I know you're trying to be funny, user, but it's not really funny.

>so I can stare at ass and put on lewd outfits and take nice screenshots and such.

Ah, yes, the closet fag answer. Comfy there in your closet?

>testers are literally paid to test every part of the game, so naturally they evenly split up the choices to see all content
>"b-b-but our testers picked both, why are players not doing the same?"

Why are developers so far up their own asses?

Let’s see the list.

probably because they're more attracted to females than males

Even if what you say is true, fiction can be a medium to explore new things. You can pretend to be a race driver, a farmer, and still not wish to bring that into real life. Why would playing as a woman be any different?

show me the studies

>So everyone who faps to bdsm porn is secretly violent?
Yes.

>All women with a rape fetish actually want to be raped?
Yes.

>Men who play violent and gory videogames are closed mass murderers?
Yes

Or you think it'sa joke the whole "psychopath bullied at school who takes away his anger on shooting games"? you think it's all fun and games when gamers literally get triggered by NPCs like Nazeem from Skyrim because they are rude to the protagonist so they proceed to kill that NPC in a thousand different ways?

>I know you're trolling
>"You said something I didn't like and i've no way to refute it so i'm gonna accuse you of trolling"
Ok? Don't get yourselves involved in discussions if you can't argument, just keep scrolling and go kill yourself.

The argument that women are physically inferior is retarded. Obviously the man would shatter the woman's skull every time, but it's fun to play as the conventionally weak class and still kick ass.

Why do you think I buy my gf cute clothes? So she can enjoy them? Fuck no, it's so I can enjoy seeing the outfits on her, and so that I can tear them off with my teeth later.

Fucking Jews.

They also have literal retards do these test groups, somebody post the half life one.

These are usually indicators of shit they unironically shouldn't consider.

>I judge video games by the gender of the main character and I covet playing the specifically female gender, this has nothing to do with feminism though.

No, I chose right, I didn't play it

I honestly don’t know how to put this into words. In all honesty, I think it was just because I thought it was hot.
But my current mindset is “Try to deduce what the actual character thinks”
I always choose male now, though. Being a girl is embarrassing

Are there mods to make Kassandra look female?

All of them love Hollywood movies.

It's the same thing with a different model and sometimes you can fuck dudes

You are completely and utterly clueless regarding all aspects of the human experience. You should take your own advice.

>sounds like Anita herself
>Has nothing to do with feminism
Uh-huh.

election tourists get confused when something doesnt fit their blatant criterias. They have trannies on their mind 25/7

IT'S MAAM

Funny thing is, in Valhalla they just said fuck it, we'll put in both male and female versions but they're just a cosmetic option now with no impact. Appeases the tranny crowd and saves the load of money that went into the differences between Alexios and Kassandra.

I wouldn't. Female protagonists give me cancer and I stay away from all those games.

Here you have some en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_featuring_female_protagonists

And there are plenty more. Women should be raped and killed and male feminists like you need to be mutilated and dropped into a river.

The hypocrisy is astounding, cope more, you're literally playing dress up as a girl and have the audacity to claim others have oestrogen-laden brains.
