It's not gay to stare at a male ass while playing games 3rd person perspective?

Alan Wake 2: you can play with both: Saga and Alan. Gamers: Nooooo, I want to play only as Alan Wake.

Make. Ciri. Transgender.

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.

"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. "

I think Im missing the issue here. Wasn't the same argument used for adding female characters to games and transgender characters later on?

Kinda thought that's the goal, for everyone to be represented if possible. That said, I'm looking forward to game being focused on Ciri

Not interested in...

Metroid.

Perfect Dark.

Mirror's Edge.

Parasite Eve.

Portal.

Half of Resident Evil.

All of these pivotal, classic games have great female protagonists, and came out before Obama got elected... probably before this person was even born?

Maybe somebody could try the 'return to tradition' approach with this fool.

I really wish the people who say shit like this would realize how pathetic it makes them sound. I have never once felt my masculinity was being threatened because the player character in video game was female.

CDPR: we added a beard option for the insecure whiners, but it unlocks dwarves hitting on you.

Almost self-aware

“I am a very heterosexual manly man” These dudes are so transparent

What a dumb bastard. I'm a dude and I've always preferred playing female characters. Never once "bRoKe mUh iMmErSiOn"

So ridic hahah

I usually feel so immersed when playing white haired super-ripped giants with magic powers. It's as if they were a second me, except for the hair, size, muscles, facial traits, strength and magic powers.

The fact that Geralt has a penis is not enough to make me forget that he is not me. Throughout the series, you're constantly learning stuff about a character that isn't you, that you aren't writing. I doubt they have examined their feelings.

Transgender man here - the only game I can think of playing that let me be a transgender man was Dream Daddy. I think the Life is Strange director made a game with a trans guy too? I think the Dragon Age series has a side character. If anyone has any other good ones I’d love to hear about them.

Strangely, I have had no problem playing games with male or female characters. Stories have protagonists who are not like me. That’s why they are interesting.

Like I don’t think there was a game that let you play a black woman until 1992 with The Elder Scrolls: Arena. We can have a white female protagonist in one game in a series.
