Also this is one of the games where you play a character that has personality already, self insertion isn't intended.
Geralt of Rivia, Lara Croft, B.J. Blazkowicz, Alan Wake, Max Caulfield, and probably Doomguy those are all roles that you play.
In contrast you have games like Skyrim, Elden Ring, Terraria, Cyberpunk 2077, Far Cry, Valheim and most classic MMORPGs, where you have a playable character that you can form to your own design.
That's just fundamentally a difference in design. Complaning that you can't self insert in a game of the first category doesn't make sense.
Eh, I would say Doomguy is pretty self-insert... Maybe somewhere in the middle.
Not to mention every TV show, movie, play, opera, musical, novel and comic book
yeah the person in the OP should practice self inserting by fucking themselves
