have you ever played as a woman character in ttrpgs? why? (idk i wont judge)
>>

>have you ever played as a woman character in ttrpgs?
Yes.
> why?
Variety.
>>
>>97634267
Played as? Never.
Played with? Exclusively.
I like heroic female characters, ranging anywhere on the spectrum of cute to sexy, because I enjoy heroines who are beautiful in both body and spirit, and fantasy allows such heroines to exist.
In modern media, you tend to see women characters who are passable at best in appearance, and have snarky or plank-of-wood personalities and commit morally-grey to outright evil deeds. On the other side, there's plenty of media where the women are gorgeous, eye-candy, and fan-serving, but serve no purpose to the plot or get in the way, are a burden somehow, get kidnapped, or even "fridged".

I'm unsatisfied with how media portrays women characters, even in the supposedly fantastical genres, so I make my characters be how I want them to be.

I do not allow men to play women at my table. Keep that tranny shit out of our hobby. Thank God I play with my dad and brother so no one is tempted to include gay fagshit

I prefer making female characters over male characters. I do it in vidya and the habit transitioned (pun not intended but welcomed) to TTRPGs.
I think the reason is somewhere between minor perversion and latent gender dysphoria.
I also find physically weaker characters having to finesse problems more interesting than powering through everything.
>>
When the GM shows me a setting, it think of a character who has ties to that world and thus things to do in it, and then I think of a personality and skillset befitting a person who would do those things. Sometimes when envisioning this character they are a male, and sometimes they are a female, and sometimes theyre like a fucking robot or whatever.

I create characters as parts of the setting to play with, and do not associate my self-identity to them, so I don't need them to resemble me and often do not want them to. Imagine how boring fiction would be if all characters were only author self-inserts.
>>
>>97634267
yes, of course
I do it to alleviate my dysphoria
>>
>>97634267
>have you ever played as a woman character in ttrpgs?
Yes.
>why? (idk i wont judge)
Women can be good characters. I'm not an incel, I think women have stories worth telling. That said, I've only ever played as women in text-based roleplaying because it's too strange for me to actually, literally speak as a woman. I find it embarrassing the same way I would have thought it was embarrassing to play with dolls as a kid.
>>
>>97634267

Why would I want to play with lower physical and mental attributes..?

On top of that my DM is retarded enough that he might try something weird like flirting with my PC, and I simply refuse to be a homosexual

Don't do that. Do you feel like you are physically under threat when an NPC takes a swing at your character? Do you feel offended when a villain hurts an insult at your character?
>"But it feels weird."
Engage in self-examination. It isn't any different than the other cases above.
>>
>>97634786
Exactly.
No story is inherently more or less worth telling than any other, but you can do things with women that you can't do with men. So why the fuck shouldn't you, other than just being insecure about it?
I could say the same thing about playing as a dwarf, it's not "worth telling" just because they're short and hairy. Your logic is fucking retarded. You're grossed out by cooties, and that's the end of it.

Playing as a wizard and elf is pretty gay, but playing as a lizard person is especially abhorrent and I hate playing with the kinda fag that wants to do it.

The reason playing as a woman is cringe is because it doesn't add anything to the experience, majority of losers who enjoy rpgs don't know how to behave as a woman so they are essentially roleplaying as trannies, ie. men masquerading as women for sexual fetishist reasons. Secondly and less importantly, it's completely immersion breaking to see a "woman" in a male role (adventurer, warrior, etc.)

My buddy wanted to run the iron kingdoms 5e splat. I know jack shit about that setting other than Khador is basically cossacks. So I made a babushka who carried around a bag of turnips to throw at people.

>>97634824
This.
The setting tends to react differently to men and women, which leads to different stories to tell.
Unless you think men and women are exactly the same?
>>
>>97634824
Hello Anon, I'd be interested in hearing you explain to us the "things women can do that men can't." Unless your RPG is about domestic life or childrearing, I'm struggling to understand what you are getting at.

That Anon made the common mistake of assuming that such things were relatively obvious and didn't need to be explained, but forgot that this board is full of autists that never interact with women, like trying to talk about solar power with a civilization of blind mole people that have only ever lived a mile underground.

Once again, I'm NTA and I have no problems with female PCs, I just fucking hate that turn of phrase because it's a meaningless shibboleth that's supposed to sound STUNNING AND BRAVE despite saying nothing at all and exists solely to cow one into compliance with faggy DEIslop by trying to imply you hate women if you object to it (oh look that's exactly what you're doing right now) up there with gay faggotry like "trans rights are human rights". It's a nonsemse shibboleth, a self-referential religious mantra. It's so meaningless you can put any other noun in there like mad libs
>children have stories worth telling
>geese have stories worth telling
>rocks have have stories worth telling
>piles of shit have stories worth telling
Even in your own defense of the phrase you're forced to explain WHY a woman's story might be worth telling, because lo and behold "x have stories worth telling" is a meaningless idpol meme.

These anons very succinctly summed up the reason why any grown "man" plays a female character. It has nothing to do with enhancing the game or story. It's jus yet another expression of autogynephilic fetishism
>>
>>97634879
>im gay!
We know
>>
>>97634901
This.
Autogynephilia is the most pathetic of all fetishes. It's the symptom of a man who is utterly incapable of sexual expression with a woman, so his solution is to take the physical embodiment of the woman. Thereby achieving the only state where a woman cannot reject him sexually, by he himself being the woman and thus can sexually enjoy his own reflection and body without refusal

>have you ever played as a woman character in ttrpgs?
Yes, particularly when I was a teenager.
>why?
Most heterosexual, teenage boys spend a lotta time thinking about girls, during puberty. Specifically how to talk and treat them in order to earn their attention. It creates a warped impression that being a girl or woman = desirable attention. Pretty natural to wanna explore that, since it's hella on your mind as your hormones rage. Especially if you're willing to recognize that sexuality isn't binary. We all like positive attention and pretty much anything can give you a teenage boy a boner. Pretending to be a girl in a ttrpg is a pretty low-stakes way to explore it. It's cringe but honestly... most of your teenage behavior being driven by hormones is cringe.
>>
>>97634267
>have you ever played as a woman character in ttrpgs?
Yeah, but rarely
why?
Just felt that female gender fits a bit better or feels cooler with the character concept I had in mind

But I usually stick to my own sex. Also, other players often have trouble remembering about it when the sex doesn't match up

>>97634267
In recognition of leading sexology research, my overtly gynocentric setting baiting it revolves around dominance and status preferences rather than primary sexual characteristics, such that it is actively taboo to be seen pursuing or taking any kind of following role of one of lesser wealth than yourself. Thus there are no distinct "lesbians", because it is simply not noteworthy for a woman's interest in another of greater status to extend to same-sex carnal matters.

>>97634573
It's hardly comprehensive, and largely fueled by a willful ignorance of how and when the preferences are set to posture greater legitimacy of sexual orientation as self-identification. I find it just as silly with the 7-9/10s who's cock is the carousel to be ridden hyping themselves up for "having game" or however they put it.

>>97634901
There's plenty of narrative considerations that choosing the opposite sex has meaningful impacts on worth exploring, just because you're too (anti-)coombrained to accept any of them outside the gutter doesn't dictate that's the limit of them.

>>97634918
To my understanding, it's more a slip-of-focus and curiosity thing, the former being that a staggering amount of porn has the female being ravished as the most empathizable thing by a large margin and the latter just a subset of general fantasizing of things not directly attainable, and thus there's a general pressure toward it.

For me personally, non-anthro MLP and Pokemon saw enough of my attention on outright inhuman anatomy from the get-go that I can easily get "on rails" for a monster doing the fucking out to very weird and outright abstract fetishes.
