Just depends on my character concept and which gender seems more natural for the concept

This is 4Chan. People get angry at literally anything on here. I just don’t let it bother me.

It's more acceptable to play them as emotional without coming off as a literal pussy (As in the case of a man character being emotional)

>>97139776

>why do you?

Nigga, I literally played demonic fetuses giving order to their mothers.
And GMed vampires (played with women) with shota sires, now that i remember it.
Why wouldn't I?

The only thing I might add is that I tend to consider playing women more when the party is a white sausage fest and the game (as it generally does) is not about that. Similar to how I consider more playing blue-collars when all the party in COC is PHDs types.

>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?

/tg/ doesn't live rent free in my head. I'll assume it's something about transgederism that rustles their jimmies.
>>
>Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you?
It's no different than creating or roleplaying as female characters as a GM
>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?

I am angry that you don't get bothered.

I am also angry that the person who made pic related can't write properly and I wasted time trying to figure out what duka was meant to mean. It's meant to be dura lex sed lex

I'm further angry that the person who wrote that was illiterate in two languages or an animal hater and wrote "your donkey (goes) here". Probably trying to write "your arse goes here" but looked up ass and got asinus instead of culus or podex.

I never rp as a chick that's gay, all my characters are buff hairy men that make me feel safe in their strong arms
>>
>>97139776
I've done it before to have a variety to the characters I've tried, I usually play as male humans.
As to the men who habitually choose women and never play as men, it's for one of the following reasons:
1.Latent gender dysphoria
2.Severe goonerism
3.Extreme discomfort with masculinity cause by being a fucking loser nerd
Or a combination of the above.
>>
>>97139776
Sometimes I have a character idea that happens to be female, and I still want to play it.

I've never found it to be weird. I'm not a woman, but neither am I an elf or a paladin or whatever.

>Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you?

On occasion, I come up with a character concept that just feels better as a feminine character to me, so I make the character female. I make male characters far more often, and I feel pretty comfortable and confident in my own sex and gender as the default for how I tend to make player characters.

It shouldn't bother /tg/ that much. I can understand though, if some people have had bad experiences (especially when they were teenagers or very early on in adulthood) where someone played a lady character and proceeded to fuck things up by oversexualizing things.

What I'm seeing a lot these days is not that, however. It's people who are absolutely obsessed with worrying about trans people, getting upset at the idea that a man might be interested in exploring feminine concepts through fiction, etc. They're basically winding themselves up about shit that really isn't a problem, and that they shouldn't be insisting is their problem.

Because the character is female.
>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?
It doesn't bother us any more than anyone else, and you're strawmanning delusions. It only bothers people insofar that trannies ruin everything they touch, and it is perfectly reasonable to be guarded against them.
>>
Because I could effectively bankroll the rest of the party by telling the DM "Yeah, Ill let him bust a load in my mouth if he gives me an extra 10 gold". It became so lucrative that another player tried to become my pimp.

Why wouldnt I take advantage of that?
>>
>>97139776
1. Her gender was decided by a die roll.
2. I wanted to play a PC based on an OC superhero team I'd made up as a kid and her powers were the most interesting.
3. I retired a male PC and made the replacement's gender the opposite for fresher experience.
4. The party was full of combat heavy PCs with low social skills, so I made a PC to fill the gap and such stat spread would make the PC pathetic if they were a man.
5. Same as 1. Technically they were non-binary, but when the campaign ended, I rolled for what they had in their pants and it landed on the female option.
>>
>>97139776
Because it fits the concept I want to play better. Because I want to. Because I'm not some dipshit who can't separate fiction from reality and myself from my PC. Because I usually draw my own character art and I would rather draw an attractive woman than a man because I am a heterosexual male.
>Why does it bother /tg/
Everything bothers /tg/ it's 4chan, the average midwit on this site will whine and cry about everything, they will literally contradict themselves in the same post just to feel right.

Sometimes you have a concept that just works better if the character is female. It's not that deep.

Insecure nogames newfag retards want to virtue signal and try to glean an iota of dopamine from the feeling they get when they think they are fitting in.

It doesn't. Though there are those who are incredibly insecure, or who were fatherless and got their idea of manhood from the internet manosphere types. Which is quite frankly worse. They want the incels who watch them to keep watching them. They don't want them learning to socialize or meet women. Because then they won't consume more slop.
Playing a woman unironically helped me improve my social skills, and actually meet women in real life.

It's pretend. The character isn't me. It isn't any more or less me if it's female rather than male.

I do so because I can. One of my recent characters was a female Dark Eldar Wych for a Rogue Trader game.

Anything and everything causes /tg/ to have a meltdown. It's one of the most thin-skinned boards on an already thin-skinned website. I assume it's to compensate for not actually playing games.
>>
>Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you?

character aesthetics, wanting to roleplay with more emotional range, setting/symbolism related details

>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?

aside from the nogames who larp as if they play oldschool tabletop rpgs, in totally hardcore oldschool ways, there are a lot of people who play female characters with the intent to magical realm you and that's creepy as shit and no-one wants that, and also a lot of woke males tend ot play female characters, and females tend to also play female characters but that's a different kettle of personality/relationship triangle issues
>>

The character wouldn't work if she was male and wasn't forced to cross-dress to avoid predators on the streets and criminal circles.

I've only ever done it in nonserious or ERPG campaigns. It can be fun writing a character who is just a vehicle for your fetishes, albeit very indulgent.

I don't think I could play a woman convincingly in a serious game where the character is expected to be more fleshed out and nuanced, and in other games it doesn't make as much sense for the character to be female.

Obviously it doesn't piss of all /tg/ posters, just a loud and spergy section of them. I think they're just the type who have an idea of what an ideal D&D game looks like in their head, but it's impossible since it only exists in their head. This is why /OSRG/ loves systems that support freedom, but immediately take all the freedom away when you play with them.

I typically just play whichever gender the party has less of which typically means female.
Though in general with groups I play with I've found playing female characters gets me noticeable advantages over males ones. NPCs are far more likely to be bi-curious when I'm playing a female character over a male meaning its far easier to seduce my way into an advantageous position with a female character, likewise more evil/gray characters were less scrutinized for said malice when I made them female.
Beyond that see pic related for why I like playing female characters it also lets me avoid falling into the stoic background role my male characters often fall into since they're closer to me so I have a harder time separating my mind set from theirs, so I often end up marred in choice paralysis over more spontaneous characters that I also think generally work better and are less scrutinized as woman.

>It's no different than creating or roleplaying as female characters as a GM
It is different. The GM is just populating a world in a way that makes sense. A player is committing to their character. I'll not say it's wrong to play a female, but men who do so more than half the time are probably trannies

Flirting with your male friends did that?

Bait thread and its been said before but there’s basically three reasons why people do it:
a) because someone has come up with a genuine female character concept.
b) because they are horny.
c) because the player wishes the were a woman.
People might accordingly be bothered by it because:
a) they think someone is having fun the wrong way.
b) they hate thinly veiled fetish inserts and/or ERP.
c) they hate trannies.

>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?
Some part are culture war fags whos brain got so fried that they have a pavlov reflex to derail any conversation and make it about trannys.

The other part of it are fags in denial, who are so insecure in their masculinity that they feel the constant need to be loudly outspoken about how anti female characters they are, as if to prove to themself and to the world they are in fact based and masculine. Its like with all those hyper agressive anti pedophile activists who are then found out to be pedophiles themself. For a normal people, the topic simply isnt on the forefront of their mind 24/7. Its a non-issue. But if you´re in denial? Yeah, you feel like you constantly need to prove that you arent a scam

In many historical games, women would disguise themselves as boys to be PCs. This is common if they are criminals or street urchins to avoid predators. Probably 1-5 of the children on the streets where girls disguised as boys. Also, remember that boys salaries paid better.

>Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you?
Because I actually, legitimately, have diagnosed gender identity disorder (not gender dysphoria, I mean GID from the DSM-iii, which should indicate how old I am), and I also have a wife and kids and I'd never ever put them through the hell of transitioning. So I suck it the fuck up and repress, and one of the benefits of a TTRPG is that I can pretend to be a girl who isn't judged on what they can provide, and who actually has a social circle of friends who genuinely care about how they're feeling. For a few hours a week, anyway.

I'm not going to apologize for using my recreational activity that's meant to provide happy feelings, to feel happy feelings for a bit.

>Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?
Because approximately 60% of /tg/ is composed of mind-rotted losers who are looking for something to be mad about so they can feel something genuine in their miserable lives.

I only play male characters because I have not yet created a concept that would work better or only work with a female character. Plus I don't feel like I understand the female mind enough to properly roleplay it in the table without it being stereotypical or jarring.

So you think historical settings are rich neighborhoods in America in the 1950s? Because if you actually research what women were doing trough history women were working alongside men unless they were royalty. Hell even servants for the court did more than just cook and clean.
The idea of a woman doing ONLY household chores is a modern one.

Ironically, anon, sentencing yourself to a lifetime of misery for the benefit of others who will never know or thank you is the height of what it means to be a real man. You suffer so that others might not. Good for you.
