I understand wargames are a masculine hobby, but are roleplaying games not really more female-coded? They always came across as a little faggy to me.

I think the rules aspect of TTRPGs is for guys but the actual roleplaying is unspeakably feminine.

There’s nothing inherently gay about it. If you think that pic is gay you must think this pic is gay. Now go get your asshole molested by dirty old woman whose balding.

>are roleplaying games not really more female-coded?
No. If you look at the kind of "games" that females create when not parasitizing existing games and franchises, you will instantly understand that what women want out of roleplaying games is social currency they obsess over for making shit like a solo journaling "game" about finding out you have AIDS after getting drunk at the most recent queer orgy. Or a GMless "game" about being a bunch of unemployed losers fighting capitalism.
>>
>>98126786
Roleplaying is a natural extension of wargaming. Look up into the history of D&D. Both are male hobbies, roleplaying is just more enticing to female because lying and pretending is like breathing to them. But make no mistake they are secondaries.
>>
>>98126786
you're just autistic I think

>>98126786
Role adopting is a form of roleplaying, but not all roleplaying is role adoption.
Roleplay is the wide gamut of any act of making character/behavior decisions for someone who isn't oneself, no matter how abstract those may be. One's behavior and character may be determined just by observing their movement on a battle map, based on the context of thst move, and the player doesn't necessarily have to describe with a funny voice or in obsessive detail; it can even be done without any words.

I like the idea that RPGs are games that are played to feel something. As in, they're inherently about emotions, that's why they're about people. This sounds fruity as hell, but: the emotions don't have to be the ones you'd find in a 70s shoujo manga. The dread your investigator feels shadowing a possibly alien hybrid, the epicness of a sword and sorcery fight, the satisfaction of twarthing a mastermind plan: all emotions.

If that is feminine-coded, call me gladly gay.

You're not one of the normies and never will be. So get over that sense that caring about anything is uncool and come be weird with us.
>>
>>98126786
If anything rollplaying is gayer than roleplaying could ever be. Imagine rolling dice (testicles) in your hands every few minutes like you're giving some invisible dude a handjob complete with scrotum massage. And you want the game to be all about that? Homo.

That sounds like a personal failing
>actual roleplaying is unspeakably feminine
OOOOOH, hello PBTA faggot, is this your new tactic to turn people against roleplaying because you think it's "storyshitting?"
>>
>>98126786
Roleplaying is female-coded by technicality, because it's actually immature-coded. Children play pretend. Retarded actors with no grip on the real world play pretend. Autists play pretend. And, of course, playing pretend is just an extension of lying. All very feminine and unmasculine things to do.

You can see it in this thread, the bitchy whiny feminine betas are already upset at you for pointing out the obvious.
>>
>>98126786

Women don't do anything. They? Don't have hobbies.

There's just one guy (probably a tranny) playing SJW here. Everybody else agree foids are gregarious shallow creatures. Even autistic females say so when you ask them.

That being said: as stated before RPG was born as an extension of wargaming. David Wesely of the Midwest Military Simulation Association in the Twin Cities area invented the proto-RPG Braunstein as a one shot for his wargaming group. It then evolved into Browstone, then Blackmoor and finally D&D so OP is a faggot.
>>
The numbers and worldbuilding part is male and the roleplaying, characters, story lines, fantasy, all the armor and equipment you can wear, and so on are all very gay and female
>>
>>98128765
Braunstein was a rules lite larp.
>>
>>98126786
...... nah, "feminine roleplay" is different than "masculine roleplay." Look at how girls play with their toys, they tend to ship them or change the character to fit their story even if it doesn't make sense compare to boys who have the character act like they would in the scenarios that they have going on. Also, got to love when it's a male/masculine, the idea is to make more female even when people like it as it is. However you don't see anything done to make anything "feminine" more "masculine" or more for the guys. Even when they're failing.
>>
>>98126786
I love seals. Seals are based.

Also no you're fucking retarded. Women can't play roleplaying games.
>>
>>98128822
Boys turn themselves into things, girls turn things into themselves. Basic gendered psychology. Even setting aside physical capabilities, this is why men are simply better at every kind of competitive activity. The male instinct is to pulverize oneself and then reconstruct the self to face new environments challenges and objectives. The female instinct is to domesticate space, and in so doing order its contents.

The former qualityi s obviously better at producing weapons. The latter content is better at producing things that weapons are used to acquire. In terms of roleplaying you can also see this effect very strongly in aggregate--obviously individuals vary within any population--men are much better at "becoming" something completely unlike themselves.
>>
>>98126786
Anyone who uses the term '-coded' is an active detriment to society and has nothing of value to say, as demonstrated by OP's post.
>>
>>98128965
Agree

I always thought painting minis was kinda gay too.
>>
>>98128794
>fashion souls is gay
N-no! It can't be true!
>>
>>98128949
Pretty much. Women can't get past themselves often so they're going to suffer unless it's something basic, or they can actually do. However if they have any competition or outside their skill level and all. They tend to be fucked and other push it off on others, or blame everyone else. (Not saying you don't have guys doing that too. However, we all know this is basically the real life girl boss. She gets it via DEI or knowing someone high up and basically at best knows who to put who where. Or at worst and most often ruins everything and basically go full sexist but doesn't see it like that cause you can't be sexist to men.

Girls just pick whatever would make their characters look good and yolo the rest

D&D is "male-brained" as it stems from Gygax's war gaming experience and his personal unrelenting autism
Plenty of other RPG's break away from that and also tap into the LARPs, collaborative storytelling games, even rules lite war games, etc that were already happening before D&D was published. D&D is not the only the TTRPG.
>>
>>98127887
the mental gayness it takes to make these leaps of faggotry is astounding.

Hasbro or Mattel or whoever realized that little boys get into the mindset of a character while little girls have that character do things they themselves do. Boys playing with batman action figures will try to be batman, while girls will have batman do things they would do. This must mean good roleplaying is masculine and bad roleplaying is feminine.
>>
>>98126786
idk idc have you tried playing games?
>>
>>98126786
TTRPGs are a direct offspring of Kriegsspiel, specifically D&D is Gygaxs' mod of Chainmail published first as a module, then as its own standalone thing. So the manliness ceiling for TTRPGs is as high as for wargames.
On the other hand, wargames can be pretty feminine with armies painted in glittery pink, cooperative scenarios, and TTRPGs allow for more femininity. But, this can also be good contrast to the masculine parts to shine brighter. So really, the answer as always is "it depends"
>>
And may your first RP, be a masculine RP.
