>friend said she tried AI chatbots for ERP at one point but "it didn't really know how to handle trans bodies">people intentionally make their character trans in things like DnD, the Sims, and other games where you can create a characterwhy? why would you, in a fantasy world where you can be anything, intentionally want to be trans? i genuinely don't get it
because it's FANTASY retard the same reason why men roleplay as a boring human knight most times
>>45117102TRUE
>>45117094i assume its like so the chatbot says stuff like “i dont mind that youre trans i still love you” or whatever
>>45117094Because they still want to be themselves inside the fantasy.Next question.
>>45117102>the same reason why men roleplay as a boring human knightyeah, but roleplaying as boring human knights is about pretending (You) are the guy doing these things. it’s an idealised self-insert.logically, trannssexuals’ idealised self-insert would have a body that’s virtually indistinguishable from a cis body.
>>45117094maybe you want realistic wish fulfillment or want to imagine an alternate life for yourself? i do this too (pathetic ugly manmoder btw) and will sometimes play as a passoid if not playing a cis woman.
>>45117094Speaking as someone who occasionally does this, while most of us would probably prefer to have been cis, being able to see yourself in stories where being trans doesn't prevent you from being loved or desired or how you can overcome the obstacles of being trans can be really satisfying too, it's an even more relevant self-insert to a story than being a cis womanI used to also think it was weird to want to ever RP as trans but I really came around on it
>>45117299the only response so far that has made any sense, thank you nona. i still think it's weird to do but i guess that framework makes sense
>>45117094Bc i like to imagine hed love me as i am. :)
