Why do males play as girl characters in games? Is this some kind of mental illness?

sometimes I'd rather look at a hot girl then a burly dude

Uh, transphobic much, commander?

...

did you make this?
that's pretty sad

This image doesn't even have any discernible tone, and it isn't an argument.

I like designing my female character to be my ideal woman in looks and personality and getting to dress her up in cute clothes.

What's wrong with monmuso?

>play as
you mean, control and oogle.

>hating on monster girls

FemShep has a better voice actor, a cuter ass and I wanted lesbian scenes.
Also there's the games where the MC just is a girl and you can't change that.

Every girl but Rachne and Lala is shit.

>Computer, create a fully functioning female version of myself
>give her free will
>load "BDSM_pack1.exe"
>disengage safety protocols
>begin program

>Worf
>Talking shit to Riker post-DS9
That would have made up for Voyager seasons 1-3 alone

No more a mental illness than making a thread on Sup Forums about it.

Sometimes the female character models are just better. Sometimes the female VA is just better.

>Pokemon, WoW, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, etc.

Like Barclay would be able to handle that shit. He'd be loading cuckoldry.exe.

>implying you self insert as your character

lmao, nerd

FemShep was shit.

t. Someone who plays a female character 99% of the time.

If the game has a heavy focus on story, I'll just go as Dudebro McSelfinsert. If not, go as a chick for some enjoyment while grinding.

I'm not starin at man ass for 40+ hours. Thas gay nigga

Only game I play as of late is Kingdom of Loathing and it's objectively better to play as a female because of some stat bonuses that males don't get. I know some of the final fantasy games have things like that as well, like armor that only female characters can wear with better bonuses

>implying fat Jonah Hill isn't alpha as fuck

>b-but I am the guy in the video game! I don't have the mental capacity to separate myself from a fictional character on the screen!

Fuck off faggot.

Completely missed the worst reason. Why males don't play male characters. It was the number 1 reason I heard in WoW.
>don't want to stare at some guy's ass all day
They were afraid that playing a male character would turn them gay. Which is probably the gayest possible reason.

This is the best reply in this thread.

Thats the F-Minus-Tier response

Final Fantasy games all have set protagonists except for the MMO's and they don't have gendered gear with stats on it.

Unlikes you autismos, I don't self insert as video game characters. Females are cute and easy to care about.

They also look nice in different costumes and are fun to look at.

Being insecure about your sexuality is indeed the biggest red flag. I mean, I masturbate to traps, but I'm not gay.

...

It's fun to look at cute girls. It's that simple. Dunno why so many people take it so seriously.

That said if a game has romance I'll usually play as a guy. Even if a game lets you romance any female character as a girl it just feels weird to me. Partially because I can no longer self insert and pretend someone loves me romantically

>don't like watching gay pornos
>haha! you must be gay because you don't like doing gay stuff!

Dude hating sex appeal because you can't get laid is childish as fuck. If you can't handle seeing ass without getting a boner you're too fucking young to be playing in the first place. Fucking puritanical bitch ass.

post monmuso

There's only specific scenarios where I play female.

>Lizard girl
>Robot girl
>Girl monster, like actual abomination with a feminine figure. Not that cosplaying anime girl shit

Human girls a shit

Variety. I usually play as a guy, but every now and then I will make a female character if it seems like it would have a interesting affect of the game (different quests, party reaction, etc).

Like in Mass Effect, I played as Fem Shepard first for all 3 games because I hated the male Shepard voice (later replayed 1 and part of 2 as male shepard).

I've never played as a female character in any game. But because I keep seeing your retarded ass gunking up Sup Forums with these stupid ass threads I promise you every character I make from now on will be female.

I hope it hurts you inside. Its the only way I can think of to do it, because sadly I can't physically hurt you through the internet.

I hate feminists, I like to play as the characters that objectify women.

If you can't help but stare at man ass when in 3rd person, you are potentially gay. Do you stare at stranger's asses when you walk behind them in real life?

>Do you stare at stranger's asses when you walk behind them in real life?
Is it wrong if I say yes?

I like to make female characters because I don't really self-insert. I think of them as my partner if anything or something, and I'd rather have a female companion than a male one.

No, just gay.

Studies have shown that men look at other people and animal's crotches almost immediately when seeing someone first. Doesn't matter if it's male, female or a dog.

why be mad, when you can be a girl user?

There's no reason to be pushed to rage out of jealousy every time someone mentions it. It is an option for you too.

I look at women's asses.
I play male characters.
Aside from clothes, I do not look at my character much. I focus on the enemy, and use the character as an avatar of myself in-game.
