>>720101884Why are women so sexist?
>>720101884Because men like seeing attractive women when possible
They're high-IQ, empathetic individuals.
Transgenderism
I'd like to know the percentage of male and female gamers who say no preference or prefer 'non-binary'?
>>720101884Kindly go back saar
>>720101884every man wants to be a woman, it's the ability to resist the siren song of transgenderism that makes us men
>>720101884are we still doing this in 2025?what do these freaks want--is it sexist for a dude to play as a woman, or to not play as a woman?or are they just trying to demoralize everybody and make every day a bit more miserable than the one before?it's a sick world we live in
>>720101884
>>720102164This is a sad world we live in
>gameplay, exploration, aesthetics are the focusfemale>story, characters, dialogue trees, romance are the focusmaleSimple as. Mass Effect or BG3 I will always play a male because I can get immersed into the story and party members better. Anything else I usually go female so I can enjoy tiddy.
>>720102164how queer
>>720102158certified egg moment
>>720101884So if only one-third of males play as female characters, but more than half of female avatars are actually male players, doesn't that indicate the majority of the overall player base is male?Did they just inadvertently debunk the female/modern market audience for video games?
>>720101884>Why are gamers like this?Like what? Video games have been scapegoated for many things all the time including the throw of mental illness healthcare into scarcity.
>>720101884Women are the more self centered sex. They can't see characters as characters, they can only see them as stand ins for themselves.
>>720101884>ITT: Shit we already knew in the late 90s
>>720102164they're right"I just don't self-insert"-fags are coping
I think evolutions sucks sometimes.Humanity would be much better if there were only women with vaginas and women with dicks.
>>720101884>only 60% of female avatars are malesthat's surprisingly lowI would have guessed 99%
>>720106012t. 30IQ
>>720101884why would i want to stare at a man's face ina video game?i already see one whenever i go to the bathroom and look in the mirror.i want to see some eye candy.
>>720106012I can hear the chirps from this post.
>>720106012it takes a high IQ to be able to play as a female character without wanting to cut your dick off.an IQ level you don't seem to have.
>>720101884They're called manginas. There's no girls on the internet.
>>720102164>>720106012The self-insert character is the talking head boyfriend. These dolts don't understand it. You're playing as Juliet, but you're supposed to place yourself in the role of Nick, her boyfriend that she dotes over, as he gets to ogle her body from up close.
>>720106012I only self insert as the male characters
>>720102570He’s not completely wrong. Though it’s also tiktok and other social media sites that people need to be restricted from spending too much time on. I’m full on authoritarian China at this point because modern day normalgroids are cattle.
>>720106052>Humanity would be much better if there were only women with vaginas and women with dicks.Anon, you might not believe me, but that is exactly what the black race isThey're obsessed about shoes, get into fights over nothing, are cranky when hungry...
>>720101884Why do niggers like this forget the entire reason lara croft was popular in the 90s entirely because teenage boys jerked off to her polygons?
>>720102539It always has been. The entire concept more females play videogames than males is a lie abusing things no more complex than playing snake on your phone as "games" to bump the female playerbase up.
>>720106314He is completely wrong. >Here are your options:>Throw thousands of applications into the horrors of the AI resume screening void for a small chance of getting $30/hr>Work at McDonald's or drive for Uber and get stabbed by a fentanyl addict for $15/hr>Do something cheap that doesn't make you want to kill yourself but pays $0If jobs and pussy were plentiful vidya engagement would drop off a cliff. It'd still be popular but not nearly as much as now.
I mean, this is a bad thread, but I guess I always find these threads funny as Im technically supposed to be trans, but get absolutely nothing from playing female characters. What I dislike, is playing chunky, or wide characters, because I guess im not irl, so if I can avoid them, I will, and some games by default make the males chunky and the females slim, so Ill pick a female only in that circumstance, otherwise, im not a child anymore so unfortunately I dont find as much enjoyment in living out MY fantasies through videogames that I can insert myself into.I don't think it means much for me, but for others, both the self inserters, and the copers coming up with rationalizations why theyre totally high IQ for playing a female or a literal subhuman because they "dont self insert" (*cough* have no strong stable grounded identity and self aware sense of self *cough*). It clearly means lots.
>>720106324They also whine and complain that white men don't let them have their way any time they are told no.
>>720106314blaming the problems of the world on normal people instead of those with actual power and influence who bend policy and society to their whims is peak midwit. Things are how they are for a reason and all he's doing is the right's version of virtue signaling
>>720106493>Im technically supposed to be trans,>have no strong stable grounded identity and self aware sense of selfWho is this meant to fool
>>720102164Person can not visualize an apple in their head and most likely believes they are the apple.
>>720101884Because the devs won't make hot cool furry bitches for me to gawk at so I have to do it my god damn self
>>720101884because i like sexy women and i like playing games with sexy women its not that hard i love seeing some bimbos with fat tits bouncing around on my screen all day it doesn't have to be more complicated than that people.
>liking girls BADOkay?
>>720106012Not many self insert though. Most just see the MC's and do not imagine themselves as them.
>>720106562Its just a posited theory you can't argue against just like your theories against self inserters one cant argue against either. Conveniently, im not on either side. At the end of the day, both of you are just different self inserters. I play vidoegames as if I am playing a game, where no matter what, I can never really roleplay as myself or someone else, because it can never possess the depth of experience. I think videogames should try and be good at what they can. Not what people arbitrarily want from them, based on arbitrary standards they've presupposed as "people" not truly grounded in reality due to a lack of self awareness. I feel like its pretty intuitive and logical that you must be disconnected from a self to some degree to roleplay in any way that is remotely serious or reflective of an identity rather than "self".
If game is 3rd person and the female models are attractive or can be dressed up in cute outfits, I usually make at least one female character / avatar.In first person it hardly matters most of the time so I just pick male.
>>720106072Yeah same this is a whitepill actually
>>720106324While I suspect you know full well what I actually meant, I'm not disagreeing with this point
>>720102539you're missing that male gamers that pick female avatars play games more often than male gamers that pick male avatars
>>720106012.t tranny trying to "crack eggs"
Jeets and browns lack the mental capacity to not self-insert.
>>720106072I would imagine it varies a lot by game. Averaging it out over all games is misleading.
>>72010253929% prefer female, 22% have no preference so they are taking half of that for 11% and assuming an even split of men picking the female option for 40% of the time total. No where is it stated how many female avatars there are just how often men pick them.
>>720106919t. agp tranny coping
>>720106785>I can never really roleplay as myself or someone else>I feel like its pretty intuitive and logical that you must be disconnected from a selfSo it's actually an IQ problem, literally unable to handle logic saying it is not you.
>>720106493I hate playing big characters because they always move at the same speed as smaller characters which makes them seem slowI know dragon's dogma averts this, thanks itsuno
>>720106951100% of the men who play a female character like fat tits and big asses and seeing that on your screen most of the time you play is the entire point you dumb fucks this isn't brain surgery its not complicated stuff men like sexy bimbos and if given the chance will gravitate towards where ever they are.
>>720102164How does this even work? For example I have never once thought I was mario, luigi, peach, nor toad and I'm sure most people didn't either. This whole thing sounds like mental illness
first world problems itt
there's a reason why mtf trannies are more prevalent than ftm trannies
>>720106012>read a non-fiction book>"WTF how am I supposed to self insert as 46th US Vice President Dick Cheney"zoomers are so fucking retarded
>>720107245people going crazy to only just now discover men love women its shocking stuff truly groundbreaking work being discovered here.
>>720101884Do you want a female or male slave to own and control?
>>720107262actually...
>>720102164The anon who came up with the breakfast question is a fucking savant, because you can use the ability to engage in hypotheticals as a perfect test of someone's IQ. If they cannot empathize (IE think of someone else and their perspective, opinions, ect) then they are a 'hylic' which is a nice pseudointellectual way of calling them a fucking ANIMAL so self-absorbed and stupid as to be Solipsistic and fail an inversion of the mirror self-reflection test. Realizing these people exist has filled me with an absolute loathing. If you cannot engage in a hypothetical and be able to empathize yourself in someone else's shoes, IE if you are like 'realboy' in that tweet then you are not fully human, you are an animal. >>720107147Not sure if it's an actual study or apocryphal but the old tale that if you have boys and girls and you give them a toy of batman or superman or whatever>Boys will think 'what would batman do', they'll roleplay as batman and play the toy as if it were batman>Girls will simply play with the superhero toy as if it were them, tea parties and such
>>720107654
>>720107760
>>720106302>>720106012This. I self insert in characters that are like me, or custom characters made for that purpose. Otherwise no, I'm just playing someone else's story
>>720106302>>720106012This. I self insert in characters that are like me, or custom characters made for that purpose. Otherwise no, I'm just playing someone else's story. Even then though it's easier to relate to them if they're similar to me. Lollipop Chainsaw was a fun action game, not a deep emotional drama, so there's really no need to self insert to enjoy it
>>720106239I think it largely depends on the game, nobody really care if you play a female in a singleplayer game but if you choose a female avatar to represent you in a multiplayer game then you're pretty gay.
I don’t want to stare at a guy’s ass for the entire game.
>>720107245But Brazil and Thailand have the most trannies
>>720108110Then don't, faggot. If you can't keep your eyes off of male ass and watch where you're going or look at the enemies, well I have bad news for you.
>>720106493I kinda feel sad for you but also happy that you're comfortable enough with yourself I guessyou should really stop torturing yourself by coming to this shit hole though (which I guess applies to everyone)
>>720108109>to represent youWhy is it representing me, it's not like I'm going to open a facebook with that character as my pfp.
>>720102164>YOU NEED TO SELF-INSERT INTO THE CLEARLY DEFINED CHARACTER WITH A DISTINCT PERSONALITYI don't get this, if the character has a distinct personality, likes, tastes, etc. then how could you self-insert into that unless you're exactly the same. There's a difference between self-inserting into some voiceless, no name protag and self-inserting as an established character like Dante or Sonic or in this case Juliet.
>>720108278what do you mean? happy and sad why? i definitely didnt expect this kind of earnest response here /v/tards arent real human beings, so they have no feelings of their own everything is a contrued externalized narrative about people they dont like. And yes, i realize the irony of doing the same, but its obviously a difference when youre railing against the majority, besides I was already honest and open from the get go.
>>720108287Because it's how other people see you in the game, it's like choosing to wear a dress in public.>I just like how this dress looks, I'm not gay or anythingSure man
If it's a third person game where you constantly see the character's ass in front of you then it would be very gay to pick a male character.
>>720106012This one really riled up the agps, huh
>>720108408>it's okay when I do itYep, that's a /v/ poster alright.
>>720108374Stop posting screenshots of your own post
>>720101884go back with your shitty polls
>>720108421The difference is I can change the character completely on a whim without repercussion, without having to tell the world that this single game defines me completely.If you're really going to think to yourself>Hmm, he's playing a male character this time, but he played a female character last timethen you are the one with some serious issues
>>720108421>Your character in game = you in real lifeYou're so self centered and retarded.Zoomers that are built like literal sticks will claim they buff dude is literally them and firmly believe it while saying you're the dysphoric one for playing a girl character and not seeing yourself as her.You are scientifically and objectively a retarded animal, simple as.
So do self-insertfags just not play games like Bayonetta or Silksong or Metroid, since they just HAVE to always self insert? What about if the protagonist is a child, do you self insert as a child too? Lol
>>720108529No, I need to remind them.
>>720108492
>>720108523Are you two stupid to understand how two action may not be of equal scrutiny, because one is conditioned as response to something threatening or hostile? Stupid.Somebody about to be murdered, professing that it is wrong to kill people, as they prepare to kill the person threatening their life in self defense, isn't arbitrary or inconsistent.
>>720108408because it feels like an exercise in self flagellation to engage with /v/ in earnestyou're showing vulnerability to a bunch of rabid retards and I have mixed feelings about that, which maybe says more about me than you but whateverdo you king/queen
>>720108543wouldnt mind self inserting into a woman or a child
>>720108543silksong and metroid are sexless, there is no inserting with a suit of armor or 2d bugas far as bayonetta goes, you fap to the cutscenes and don't pay attention to the model when you play cause there's a bunch of other shit going oneven then this is dishonest, you never make decisions in these games that would change your decisions in your real lifeyou don't make romantic choices, you don't make story choices, your character has its own personality and morality, it's not a canvas for you to paint yourself upon vs say an rpg or just any game where you create your own character
>>720108538You don't get it, the problem isn't that you see yourself, it's that other people see you as her. They don't know you're a 300 pound guy, they only see this petite bimbo girl.
>>720108635Well, it helps that this all anonymous, but to be fair if I had a username id still share stuff, well maybe not anymore ever since coming to this place, but before I would.Besides I have thoughts and feelings sometimes that I just really need to get out no matter what. So its frustrating that I know my earnesty will never really be appreciated, but...yeah I dont really know how to explain why I waste my time anyway. Like I said, i think i just really need to scream even if no one will hear.
>>720108704>you fap to the cutscenes and don't pay attention to the modelHoly shit, you've discovered what people who play games do, you cracked the code->it's not a canvas for you to paint yourself upon vs say an rpgOh, and then you go and fumble it, you literally knew how people could play games as someone else and still get lost when they play as someone else
Why is /v/ so obsessed with this topic anyways
>>720108532I think the "wearing a dress" analogy describes it pretty good. I don't care if you're wearing normal masculine clothes but if you're wearing a dress I'm gonna assume something is weird about you.
>>720102071I watched this episode with a bro that always plays a female character in games. I kept laughing but he was dead fucking silent the entire time. I think he was about to cry
>>720108743This sounds like someone well-versed in ERP
>>720108812half of /v/ is scared they have agp
>>720108704>silksong and metroid are sexlessthat's just youhornet has sex all the time
>>720101884Girls are cute and sexy which is nicer to look at than a man in most situations I wouldn't make a girl character in somewhat gritty medieval mercenary game like Bladestorm but shit like this rarely has character creator, meanwhile high fantasy games where women PCs work have one more often than not
>>720108839And again, if you're that hyper-focused on someone's character, something is weird about you.
>>720101884i like to eye fuck the character im using especially if they make her extra goony
>>720106314>life is so shitty people are checking out of reality altogether>let's board up the Narnia wardrobe instead of addressing the reasons why people don't want to engage with life
>>720108303You need the brain of a woman/gay/trans to understand. They cannot separate themselves usually. That's why we suffered through this era of appalling character design. Corporate heads let devs put in their ideal self inserts all over games. And those self inserts were made to be as inoffensive and as inclusive as possible for whatever mystery meat concoctions these dev teams are made out of now.
Do people who use the I want to stare a girl's ass excuse still pick the girl option for like pixel sprites or animal crossing bobble doll?Like when Oak asked you are you a girl or a boy, do you still pick girl?
I JUST LIKE GIRLS, MAN IT'S NOT THAT DEEP
>>720108743This is the problem of self awareness Identified. Anti "self insert" retards, like the self awareness to see themselves from the outside as if they werent themselves. So they cant understand how an expression of oneself through a representory character would reflect on them, because they have no self to be aware of.There are valid arguments that somebody can choose a character for reasons completely unrelated to self insert, I've actually showed them earlier in the thread. But anti self inserters, like the retard talking about how just because he plays as shotas doesnt mean he thinks hes a literal shota, doesnt understand how thats just a different type of self insert, because he doesnt have a self, only identities he latches onto, reflected in their obsession with certain identities, and the desire to even represent as anything specific in the first place for a purpose, that is induced subjectivity.I actually think this applies to a lot of trans people to, but thats why I dont make generalizations. Just theories.
>>720108743That's on them if they can't differentiate the person behind the avatar. If my character's some busty bimbo just fap and get out. Don't give those characters any money or resources unless it's needed for a collaborative project, don't get attached, don't play with them any more than necessary, treat them like everyone else unless it's a roleplay, and get out if you must.Follow this advice and you'll be able to handle any interaction in games or online just fine.
>>720106012Some games I self insert in, but I don't self insert as a bimbo cheerleader. In fact, it's rare that I'll self insert at all as a premade character with a backstory.The problem with everyone under 50 is that they can't distinguish reality from fiction. They get upset that they hurt the feelings of a character in a video game, and cry themselves to sleep about it.
>>720108920Most genuinely autistic post I've read on this board in a long time.NTA, but I hate that I have to do this, because its truly insulting to autistic people that try their hardest to be self aware. But it would be alot easier to tolerate the abundance of stupidity on this board if you just assume everybody is autistic or has some learning disability that precludes them from understanding certain fundamental facets of the human experience.
>>720108812a lot of /v/ is obsessed with anything tranny related.
>>720108808your honesty and earnestness are appreciated and I genuinely wish you welland please don't ever consider becoming a namefag
>>720108981But the shota poster doesn't hate nor is against self inserts. He said it himself, he just hates pissbabies that can't properly separate themselves from the character.
>>720101884It's sad how many trannies there are in the gaming community because of this. They pretend to be girls, they use voice changers and then they learn how much attention they receive every time they enter a server. You can see it literally happen in real time where male gamers can convince male streamers to crossdress and become women to pad their patreon/onlyfans.It's got to be one of the worst mental illness epidemics that no one talks.
>>720108704What about any game where you play as a woman? Silent Hill 3 for example, or Resident Evil 3, or Lollipop Chainsaw, or Beyond Good and Evil? Do you self-insert then, or just acknowledge “this character isn’t me, I’m just controlling them”. If it’s the latter, what is preventing you from acknowledging this in any other game? >you don’t make romantic choices Most games where you can play as a woman or where you make your own character either don’t have you make romantic choices, or if there are romances don’t force you to do them either. If you play as Female Shepard for example you aren’t required to romance anyone, or you could romance Liara. Alternatively if you play a game like Fallout you aren’t required to have sex with anyone either >personalityIf it’s an RPG and you actually roleplay you can roleplay as people who don’t have the same personality as you, whether they are male or female. In fact that’s literally what roleplaying is
>>720101884I feel like once gene editing becomes mainstream men are actually going to die out. We're going to transform into some gay peacock female only species.
>>720109093It is genuinely autistic to play a videogame and treat it like a videogame.I have to be self-aware and not touch anything that might look different because it's a videogame and might reflect poorly on me in irl.
>>720109221>or you could romance LiaraThat's gayer than having dicks in every orifice.
>>720109221those characters all come with their own package stories and predesign choices, so it's more like watching a movie than actually roleplaying those charactersfor an rpg or an online game where you MAKE a deliberate act to roleplay or play yourself, you do make decisions like your own gender so you are a blank canvaslike how can you interact in an online game with a female character and not be yourself? huh? you're going to roleplay as a female in an online game? just don't self insert.
>>720101884Because men get hornier when looking at girls. I'm 99% convinced that trannies are just retards who have just taken their attraction to a retarded extreme.
>>720108981People that don't self-insert are cucks, it's like when you're watching porn, you either imagine yourself to be the guy fucking the girl or you're just some passive observer watching other guys have sex. The same is true for video games, do you want to be the hero in this story or some cuck watching other characters have all the fun?
>>720101884So I make a girl character in Cyberpunk. I make her look cool and hot, stylish and badass. My ideal female character. Like femme fatale shit. I make her choose the dialog options and choices that I think are the best and coolest. I act through her, but I don't think of myself as "her". If the game has romance I like I'll consider playing a guy instead. Lsssuckily I couldn't give two fucks about Panam, because Male V kind of sucks. I don't want to romance Judy as my V, I don't like yuri/dykes. Since there are no romances in this game for me, I'd rather play as my own female V and keep her chaste.It sucks when the game has female customization/mod options but also has girls I want to romance, cause then I'm forced to decide between the girls the devs game me, or making my own, and never the twain shall meet (again, fuck dykes).>>720108963I've never used the "dude I wanna stare at the girl's ass for 100 hours hurr hurr hurr" excuse because it's fucking braindead retard "lady doth protest too much" shit, if you have to make that kind of excuse as some protection for your masculine ego or to justify yourself to others you probably ARE the type of retard that actually will troon out one day. Seems like that's what half of those subhumans did in the 15-20 years I've been hearing them say that and I've been playing mostly female avatars. On the other hand, I haven't said it once, and and haven't trooned out.
>>720109345>just don't self insert.Yes.It's not a real female, it says whatever you want it to say in the choices, and you are the one talking to people, not this fictional woman.
>>720109396>it's like when you're watching porn, you either imagine yourself to be the guy fucking the girl or you're just some passive observer watching other guys have sexwell, not if you play female characters. Then you take the third option
>>720108558Guh~
>>720102071Was it gay
>>720102164>I don't know too many straight men who would say "Yes, this is my aesthetic"Even if I do have to claim things I like as "my aesthetic", the did this guy think you can only have one? Things I would classify as"my aesthetic" spans an innumerable amount of fiction and real life things. From batman to the high deserts to transformers to doom to feudalistic japan to reconstruction era US, the list goes on. So what difference does it make if something like Bayonetta gets thrown in the mix?
>>720109185>He said it himself, he just hates pissbabies that can't properly separate themselves from the character.Do you understand that the people who his view would be aligned with, use terms like "Self Insert fags" so you contending that he does not literally use that term, does not dispel the accusation of him being that type of person, because the intention is not the same as the referent.In other words what both mean is the same, even if they dont use the same word of reference.Im going to stop replying to you guys, because Im seriously starting to become convinced a concerning number of you are autistic.
>>720109396>The same is true for video games, do you want to be the hero in this story or some cuck watching other characters have all the fun?literal 85 IQ shitI am the hero. I am the chess master. Every move being made no matter what the pawn looks like is from my winning influence. The sex of the pawn has no bearing on the dick between my legs (which I'm happy to have). Are you fucking retarded?
>>720109130Well, I never know if replies like this are honest, but does it really matter? We'll probably never see eachother again, so its whatever.I appreciate your appreciation, its the least I can do, to allow myself to believe that this place contains the least bit of real humanity.
>>720109396>porn analogybrain rot
>I’m not Bayonetta, I’m just controlling her>I’m not this female character I created, I’m just controlling her Why do y’all struggle to understand this? It’s literally the same mentality
>>720109396I think this whole self-inserting phenomenon is mainly traced back to the fact that zoomers don't read books anymore. Most stories historically were in fact meant to be experienced as the neutral observer.
>>720108812The people acting like it's gay to play as a woman engage in sexual acts.The idea that males are playing women and don't engage in sexual acts is confusing. Foreign. Outright Alien.Thus, they need to make this thread every so often to convince anons that if they are going to make a female character they should engage in sexual acts, because that is what they do, and it makes sense.
>>720109696Ignoring the "y'all" typed by someone who's never lived in the south, some people can play without the character being "literally me."
>>720101884I love women so much I became one.
>I can’t play chess, the Queen is a woman and I have to self insert as her when I move her around
>>720109696People who self-insert are unable to comprehend this. There's a vocal minority of people who can ONLY self-insert.
>>720109652I'm not talking about chess I'm talking about female characters in video games, MMOs in particular. Whenever you perform an action it's the female character doing it, whenever you talk the words are coming out of her mouth. Eliminating yourself completely from the game is impossible, it's more like you wearing a costume.
>>720109760it's also made worse by shitty vidya writers using blank slates as a crutch>amnesia>silent protagonists>character customizationand movies also have their leads vetted by consumer marketing committees to produce the most agreeable characters possiblecoupled with the internet, now many people find it hard to read about things they don't already agree withfaggots meme about muh media literacy but it's true that, whatever you wanna call it, some collective innate ability to parse information has been extremely deteriorating for a good while now
I like it when characters aren't me specifically because it gives me new insights and perspectives to think about that I wouldn't have considered if it was just me.
>>720109396Actually wrong. I was thinking about this earlier when playing Silksong, and how much it felt like I was going on the journey with Hornet, rather than a felt connection to any aspect of her character and how that contrasted with the knight, wherein its not that I felt like the knight, but rather I never felt like I was along for the journey.And the pretty obvious reason this is, is that Hornet has an actual personality, actual goals independent of me, which is why when I was exploring, and she came across a character and in her dialogue expressed "im simply trying to get a lay of this place, and thats why Ive intruded in your space" (paraphrasing). It was like her own individuality shown through, as that was perfectly inline with my reasons for talking to that NPC, but it was from HER perspective, predicated on the previous understanding of her independent goals, manners, and tone.You get?My point is, it is very easy to engage with something simply as a passenger or observer. Theres nothing cucked about not feeling like Hornet.I've hilariously seen a trans comic of someone getting gender envy from Hornet and I just cant understand it. She's so distinctly boring, and thats the point. Shes a borderline immortal creature, you couldnt possibly relate to beyond the surface level fact, that both of you want to explore the world and reach the Citadel.Its one of the reasons I never feel related to the trans community even if I technically am.
>>720109809NTA, but I self-insert on blank slates if the world is interesting enough, but I'm capable of playing without doing so.

>>720109912When I play as a female character in a MMO, I talk like a dude and act like a dude. Guildies hear me in voice chat being the manly man that I am.
>>720109912You take off the costume when the game is over, you don't go to bed wearing the costume.
>>720107098troon
>>720109948The answer to this is simple, it's not an RPG. You're not playing a role you're playing as Hornet.If you at the start of the game had the option to create your own character and it would remain silent throughout the journey, do you think you'd have the same experience if you picked a female? I don't think so.
>>720109785The real question is did you get a gf?
>>720101884Wow, I had no idea women were so sexist.
>>720108845is your friend a zesty buck
>>720110116>do you think you'd have the same experience if you picked a female? I don't think so.Yes, it's that character's journey, I'm playing as that character. I choose what paths they take, but it's still their journey, I'm not literally killing goblins for several hours.
>>720102164this is the most retarded post i will read todaysurely, there's nothing more retarded than this, at least today
>>720102030simply this.
>>720109948How is one "technically" a trannyEither you want to be the opposite sex or you don't.
>>720101884imagine if they just took gacha players into account
>>720110116The answer is irrelvant, because my response was in response to somebody talking about watching porn. Porn isnt a roleplaying game retard, learn to look for context clues a bit before responding to things. Dont take this harshly just because I called you a retard. You know you can do better.
>>720110237If you had the option to create a male borderline immortal bug creature, then why did you create a female? According to you the gender doesn't matter in this case, so why chose a female?
The self-insertfag is a narcissist. They cannot conceive of a world or existence outside of their own. They cannot imagine a hypothetical scenario or being in the shoes of someone else, unless that someone else is literally them.
>>720110368You wouldnt get it. Even trans people dont get it. Its another reason I dont consider myself part of the community. If youre REALLY curious I could answer but itll result in annoying slew of people trying to lecture me on things they dont understand.
>>720102164fuck man, good thing this post reminded me i have to self insert as anything and everything, so now i can confidently self insert as mitsubishi lancer mk VIII from dirt rally 2thank god for twitter, where would i be without itvroom vroom
>>720110415You can apply this logic to all roleplaying >why roleplay as a thief instead of a warrior >why roleplay as a wizard instead of a priest >why roleplay as a selfish character instead of a charitable character >why roleplay as an evil character instead of a good character >why roleplay as a dwarf or an elf instead of a human
When I play chess I only play white because I can't selfinsert as a black
what do people who cannot comprehend the self-insert/troon/not-troon/whatever argument think of the people who use character creators to make the most abhorrent and out there slider monstrosities possible? Do they think that the ugly Shrek monster made in Oblivion must be a representation of their internal self-image or something?>>720109912>Whenever you perform an action it's the female character doing it>whenever you talk the words are coming out of her mouthI mean even assuming this is a valid or meaningful way to look at something like an MMOso what?who cares?my voice coming out of a female avatar's mouth doesn't... do anythingit's entirely aesthetic preferenceit's like cyberpunk shit, like "we are making choices now entirely divorced from biological reality or consequence"also, this belies a fundamental difference in approach between myself and yourself. you cite an MMO where I think it is probably the worst possible example to give for a game in which avatar is meant to have some bearing, like a traditional RPG or a DND character could maybe resonate more as an example, I do not and never have felt so immersed in an MMO that I felt my avatar was supposed to be literally me. There is no roleplaying element for me in an MMO. It is simply a grouping of systems to grind, and their aesthetics.
>>720110565All of these have an answer, and so does why roleplay as a woman. Not being able to answer the question is a poor defense.
>>720110415>so why chose a female?I choose a female because of the sliders, and if the sliders are as dogshit as they are nowadays, I just make a man.
>>720102164The kinda mfer who gets personally offended by Spec Ops The Line.
>>720110617An answer that, notably, you did not give.
>>720110617Do you have that answer?
>>720109418I think most people don't play RPGs like that. They make the decisions they would actually make, or they try to see what all the evil options give. I don't think people generally play them as if they are writing a character. I do that sometimes, but only after a first playthrough where I just play as either a self-insert or I do whatever options seem the most fun (like in FNV I killed all the ghouls instead of doing their fetch quest,because fuck that shit).I will say, if I do play as a female character I don't do any of the romance options, because actually picking dialogue options to flirt with a guy feels kind of gay desu, after all the romance routes always focus on the pre-written character rather than the player's.

>>720110449Well I'm kind of curious, it's just anonymous shitposting anyway
I remember playing FF14 with my black friend. I played as the big buff brolic black nigger and he played a cute twinkish catboy. Never once did we think the character is literally us.Even when I self insert more nowadays, never once do I think that i'm actually the character. As even the character I self insert as is separate from my real life self. As i'm not mentally ill or narcissistic. Simple as.
>>720101884This may come as a tremendous shock to you, but most men find women to be visually appealing. I know, I know. This is a tremendous shock. But I assure you that this is a very common trait.
>>720101884It's soft transgenderism, and the "based" people's ancestors would condemn them for being so feminine.
>>720110803My friends laughed at me picking a cat rather than it being female.

>>720102164The fascinating part is that they aren't of below average intelligence - rather the opposite, in fact. It is the severe but high functioning autism that is to blame for being incapable of conceiving that it is indeed possible to appreciate someone's creation while retaining your own self. I suppose it is only natural to have this flaw for someone with both conscious and subconscious parts of the self so fucked up they need such drastic changes in their lives to be less miserable.Regardless, this is not video games.
When I take action in real life, moving the joystick, I take action in the game. The player character is an avatar of me, an extension of MY mind and I'm not a tranny or a woman.
>>720107654>Realizing these people exist has filled me with an absolute loathing.Very sad. Worse things exist. Rise above that.
>>720111005sorry, are you pro or against tranny self inserting? speak simple words, this is /v/
>>720110809Why are you fucks like this?>How do we get around the fact that trannies make up less than .01% of the population and thus nothing we do or say has any weight beyond our prodigiously high rates of suicide and violent crime?>I know. We'll just claim that any behavior that shows interest in women or feminine-centric topics is transcoded.>Of course! We'll just convince everyone that they're all a "little" trans!
>>720110646>>720110671I play a guy because I am a guy myself, playing a girl feels weird because I'd have to wrestle with a bunch of questions about my character that I don't really know the answer to, like her feminine motivations and attractions. It would be a very convincing character and it would bring me no joy.Making a male character comes a lot more naturally.Your turn.
>>720111062Against. The final redpill is that the character in the game is you.
>>720111079It wouldn't be a very convincing character*
>>720110809>It's soft transgenderismthis is literally just subhuman retard election tourist shit, you're like a solid 80 IQ and don't know much about anything and on the other side of the coin it's literal trannies saying this, trying to convert (like with the "egg" talk, literally the mentally ill diagnosing others with their own illness to propagate it).>the "based" people's ancestors would condemn them for being so femininedidn't Odin literally take the form of a woman/crossdress at timesplaying as a girl is more often than not just an expression of jungian anima type shit
>>720111079Why does she have to be feminine.It's me deciding things, if it's a feminine choice that was my choice, I am not thinking to myself that I need to be in a woman's mindset.
>>720111079Playing a female character is easy.You just play a man then take away reason and accountability.
>>720109601It's a woman thing. They create this presentation pattern that includes both appearance and behaviour, this is what the "my aesthetic" means. I think it's a leftover of rejecting childhood likes due to peer pressure deeming them uncool. Female humans mentally mature much quicker early on but then stagnate for many years.
>>720111005Okay but are you a blue yoshi, a green yoshi or a red yoshi?
>>720111079nta but i play cute girls because i like cute girls
>>720111225I dont play nintendo shit I'm not 8 years old
>>720110790long story short:I dont really want to be a woman, but my brain doesnt like that I dont look like a woman.I have no interest or attachment to anything female aesthetically, behaviourally, social roles/class related, interests, expressions etc.But my brain gets kind of angry and/or sad at the thought of masculine facial and body features.Thats it. I've been told by some trans people that im just trying to be different or special, and on some level, I understand why, because based on my experience with the trans community, I am nothing like them beyond a superficial shared desire for the body of a woman.Infact I dont even dislike my male body in any sort of personal sense. I actually feel bad for some part of "myself" when I hate my body, because its like im externalizing myself as I know what its like for people to make fun of aspects of my body or face.Its weird and complicated, I seriously cant explain it in a way a normal person can understand, I've tried with a therapist and they were completely lost.
>>720111101The character I made in the game is a hot goth supersoldier girl I want to fuck. The character in the game does what I want her to and says what I want her to, she's a 100% clear expression of "me", but she's female. How can this be? And yet it is. The girl in the game *is* me. You're right. And yet in this earthly realm I remain a male and have not chopped off my cock. I will not chop off my cock. I am a male now, and a female there. Curious. Very curious.Though the choices she is making, being my choices, come from a biologically masculine mind. So can this character be considered a female in any way but aesthetics? More curious still! It boggles the mind!
If you are playing female character you are a faggot. Simple. Every Troon ALWAYS plays as female characters. You just closet homo nothing else
>>720111268Why do girl players claim to be intelligent side again?
>>720111005When I take action in real life, moving the joystick, I do not take action in the game. The player character is a separate being, an extension of their creators mind and I'm not a tranny or a woman.
>>720111347You have AGP
>>720101884>women are ultimate self-inserters>men are unltimate role playersmore at 11
>>720110617I can answer it.>I already played a guy in my previous run.
>>720111079So? You’re not a wizard or a thief in real life either, you’re also not a dwarf or an elf, and I’m assuming you’re not a criminal either but people roleplay as all of the above anyways.
>>720106052This is terribly inefficient because, first and foremost, it doesn't solve the numerous reproductive problems inherent to the species. Both sexes having exactly the same secondary characteristics to be attracted to would have made matters worse if anything. But at least females would have been reliably genuinely attracted to physical characteristics instead of status.
>>720111363sorry i don't answer loaded questions
>>720111385>Autogynephilia is defined as a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a femaleWow, that's a crazy diagnosis, Freud. Except I am in no way sexually aroused by the thought of being a woman.
>>720111079>Your turn.You are not the charater, is the straight forward answer if you aren't low iq. You do not control everything they say to the exact word, you do not control their predetermined cutscene actions, you did not determine their existence from their birth until now. It is retarded to pretend that simply because you control it that it is you, it is not and never will be. Every jrpg protagonist is not you, it is an archetype you can empathise with and relate to but it is not you. Sonic and mario are not you. M bison is not you. Your inputs making them do things do not change this.You are able to play any character because you are you and they are them, so you should simply pick the coolest or most aesthetically pleasing, or the one that min maxes the best, or the one from the region you prefer, or if you prefer to hear male/female voices, or any of a hundred other reasons that are all perfectly acceptable reasons to pick it.The singular reason to ever pick a male character if you are male that has anything to do with you as a real person is if you want to romance a female character and want to feel like they are fawning over you and not just the character in game.
>>720111079>wrestle with a bunch of questions about my character>feminine motivations and attractionsi dont roleplay
>>720111361>>720111385>EVERY troon plays as a female so EVERY female player is a troonThe worst kind of fallacy to pull out of pocket

>>720111524My "weiner" gets hard when I look at a big pair of tits, so what does that say about me?
>>720111576I'm worried he's gonna chop it off soon and that's not right
>>720111402I pick a wizard because I enjoy the idea of being wise and using magic, I play an elf because I like the idea of being tall, handsome and immortal. I play a female because I- .... uhh
>>720101884Women having the capability for empathy is the biggest meme imaginable. They are utterly incapable of putting themselves in someone else's shoes, they always project the others through themselves instead. That's why women will just play as something they can imagine as themselves, they can't imagine being anything else.
>>720111524No it doesn't. Not even from like a domination/control perspective. If I make her do like hot poses or something yeah I could jerk off to her like any other character. But I'm thinking of fucking her, not being her and getting fucked as her. Not even in a "I'm her and I'm fucking myself" type of way.
>>720111615>plays as elvesIf there was a bigger troon red flag, I never saw it.
>>720111615I like strong and cool female characters and the strongest and coolest female character is one that's hot but makes all the based male brained decisions that I would.
>>720111642You're imaging (you) fucking this female figment of your imagination (also you, just this idealized AGP troon version)
Part of the reason why it took so long to find the missing Death Valley Germans was cause all of the previous rescuers were too busy self-inserting, guy comes along that finally takes into account they were from Germany and probably were going about things as if it were Europe and swiftly finds what was left of them.
Why do so many /v/ posters desperately want to convince straight guys that they're actually trans?
>>720108421Playing video games in which your char... no, sorry, in which you kill people is like wanting to kill people IRL.
>>720111696that's maybe some sort of psychopathic narcissism, but not AGP or being a tranny
>>720111696My idealized AGP troon version of myself can cast magic, heal wounds by drinking a red liquid, and obliterate their surrounding with fire.Oh wait, I'm supposed to be entirely focused on the character and not what they do.

>>720102164these people have no sense of self therefore they have to self-insert and that's why they can make the most retarded shit popular. that's why they all look the same, act the same, think the same, they are empty shells that get filled by "the popular thing" and then discard it when new popular thing appears

>>720111480No being low IQ is picking a female character because it makes your dick hard, inserting yourself into the mind of a character, whether that character is Sonic or Princess Peach, is a sign of high intelligence and empathy.
>>720112028no, just a lowskill shitter
>>720106493It's always funny when low IQ people try to psychoanalyse people much smarter than them.
>>720112028No but if you made your character in Saints Row 2 a bitch you're probably weird as fuck at the bare minimum. Did y'all AGPtroons not have friends growing up? The weird kids used to get punked and bullied for picking girls of their own volition. Only on 4chan is this even a discussion, in the real world everyone knows what you are.
>>720108492Apart from the fact that this never happened, the underlying sentiment is true: If you ostracize people hard enough, some of them will become antisocial because the social contract has been broken.
the only time i don't believe someone isn't self inserting is when they make a completely whacky character designed to make them laugh, like extremely ugly and grotesque every time a straight male is picking a male character that is the idealized version of themselves (like they'll never make themselves fat) and an agp male freak will always pick a female character that is the idealized version of themselves after hrt and multiple gender confirming surgeries

>>720112351You are the one telling me that I am deranged for picking a female, so why do you care so much, because I don't.I can easily laugh it off as being a videogame because I don't care, so what other reason do you have for me to be so upset about.
>>720112379weird you got extremely upset like i hit a nervei imagine you go through your mascara sliders to find the perfect one for yourself
>>720112447Same reason I don't want sex offenders, pedophiles, and other LGBTQ+ reprobates shitting up my community.
>>720111414Oh who the fuck cares, killjoy
Only perverts and creeps create female characters. You know the kind of guys that give real life females the mega ick.
why is it when threads like this are up, it's always the people who pick females that get extremely upsetlike it's fine, you aren't a tranny, why try so hard to convince everyone
>>720112461"Whacky sliders" shit is the most braindead, boring shit imaginable, it requires no effort, creativity or sense of humor. It's not funny and hasn't been since like 2006. That's when the novelty wore off for basically anyone who isn't mentally a toddler. I don't fucking care about your epic shrek chungus green bug eyed slider monster, it's not funny or interesting.

>>720112509Judging by OP's pic, you need to do some serious cleaning of your community regardless.
>>720112418fair point, however i still don't give a fucki'll keep playing cute girls and retard nigger trannies can keep seething about it and bringing up their retarded tranny self insert arguments, i don't give a fuck

>>720112581But I know a mega pussy slayer and he only plays female characters.

>>720101884Boys always pick male characters because the character on the screen = themselves.Men pick whatever the hell they want.
>>720112728I played Femshep in the first game, then they added Tali as a romance and I rerolled as Vanderloo Shepard and never looked back. Ironically, ME1 was the only game where Femshep was clearly a superior performance. Jennifer Hale really fucking phoned it in starting with ME2 and Mark Meer only got better over time.
>>720110298every dude i know who plays female characters when given a choice is a massive gooner faggot loser. You can cling to this cope as hard as you want, you're all closeted. It's the same dudes that play healers and support characters - they're just female coded
>>720101884>>720102164i self insert as every character i playit enhances the immersionone time i smoked a fuckton of weed and played dragon's dogma dark ariseni was obsessed with the realm of esotericism and hermeticism at the timei naturally created a jewish wizard, installed cheats, and breezed through the game with infinite stamina and no carry weight limitvery accurate as a portrayal of self insertion given my mindset at the timeit's hard for me to disconnect myself from the character i control
>>720112835A stoner with low IQ, were you setting us up to make fun of you?
What causes this
>>720111615I pick a wizard because I want to see cool magic stuff (I don't expect more depth from most games now), I pick an elf because I still hope for the character to interact with the game's world in distinct ways instead of just being a taller, slimmer human with longer ears. I pick a female because I flipped a coin, I want to see if the game has additional content for them, or in now extremely rare cases if I have reasons to believe the first run will be more interesting for a female character.The difference is you're incapable from separating yourself from your character ("I enjoy the idea of being", "I like the idea of being") while I'm fully aware that it's fiction. Remind me what's inability to tell fiction apart from reality is called.
>>720112881Settle down Quentin
>>720112078No, it's a retard pretending they're high iq when they're a retard.Nobody ever inserts themselves into the mind of sonic, at no point does anyone think "wow i'll take this route because sonic would take this route" "i'll approach the battle this way because sonic would approach it this way"You still play as you, you still make decisions you would make, you still approach the way you would. This is not 'empathy' it's you pretendingGenuine empathic thought requires reasonable iq, but it also rarely occurs especially in video games or in most fiction for that matter
>>720108812Trannies are desperate to convince themselves that they didn't make extremely damaging life choices or that those choices were worth it, so they try to gaslight others into the same life "style".
>>720112915the fact cod went to shit and the only good media became japanese obcure indie gamesbtw kanokari is shit
>>720112816That was my big issue in 1, and when I heard that Tali was romanceable, I made a male shep. Only a great fool reaches for what he is given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the Sheploo.
>>720112962>he doesn't roleplay as the frog from froggerngmi
>>720112138Don't scare him off. He's mildly entertaining for the time being.
>>720112915What's supposed to be strange about this. The target demographic for CoD is young boys and the target demographic for anime/manga about cute girls is adult men.
>>720113038I chose the princess for gliding in SMB2, which means I need to start HRT.
>>720102030Yeah that's why majority of men prefer playing as a man, troonie.

>>720112915Estrogen in tap water.
>>720112915>my pfp now
I played Witch Spring R and self-inserted as Pieberry's dad
>why yes I play as a female and use porn mods how did you know????
>>720112386I'm only talking about the "absolute loathing" bit. Things like that poison you, especially given enough time. It is what it is. Either do what you can to fix it, or briefly pity them on occasion and move on without this weighing you down.>politicsDuh, that's the highest form of socially acceptable evil unless they actually do nothing about the Epstein thing. And even then, it's almost exclusively politicians on the list so it's effectively rebranding. I guess the time is coming to face the Baal worshippers openly.
>>720112598I think the issue is the underdeveloped brain those retards have.>play a game because its popular and you want to do same shit that others do to be popular>game is multiplayer/MMO>game has female avatars/chars>animal brain goes "sexo">hit on the female char>male voice replies "no thanks dude">animal brain goes nuclear>animal brain cannot contain itself>animal brain goes to social media and gets validated by other animal brains because pack mentalityIts really that simple.
>>720111346Well that just seems like actual transexualism. Most trannies who think they want to occupy the social role of the opposite sex just come off as cringe larpers. Hence they wear granny dresses and pick some retarded name like "Lilith". It like a parody of a woman. I imagine many of them don't even really want to be women, they just want to benefit from the social standing that women have. Their total lack of self-awareness on how they present themdel definitely makes me think they don't actually have some neurological condition that makes them want a female body.
>>720112415You think just because people don't see you IRL you cease to exist and the actions you perform in the game don't come from you but your character? That's some deranged shit.
>>720112881i haven't smoked weed in over a year and have noticed substantial improvements in regards to the operation of my prefrontal cortexmy post was meant to provide insight into the mindset of a gamer who enjoys self-insertion and immersioni enjoy seeing the character i control serve as an extension of the values i place importance onif i lift weights, and care about strength, i'd naturally desire to play a physically strong characteri didn't enjoy the gameplay of god of war 3, but still enjoyed the thematic experience of destroying my enemies while playing as an insanely violent warlord, kratosi understand why people don't care about this, and will pick whatever they think looks cool, or what works best, but for some more stubborn people like myself, if a game doesn't have a character i resonate with, i simply won't play it
>>720112509>Same reason I don't want sex offenders, pedophilesSo in other words, politicians and officials and such.
>>720112915Neo-nazism
>>720112915low agencygiving up
>>720113251nah troons just want sex because they failed as males and the only way for them to get fucked in the ass is to become a pretend woman
>>720113309Ah yes, the bulk of every video game community, politicians and officials.
>>720112565Those who actually are interested in biology and ways it can possibly be improved. And just engineering optimisations in general because this is absolutely a bioengineering optimisation topic.For a directly related example, the menstrual cycle and especially the ovulation mechanism is pure AIDS and having half of the species go through that is one of the worst design imaginable. We do not ever need more than biannual fertility windows both to maintain replacement rates and to rapidly increase our numbers either. The attachment and traumatic detachment from uterine lining should go into the trash and stay there too. So much can be improved.
social isolation, terminally online brainrot and an entire life of no-plates has given me "brain in a jar" feelings; I have nothing against my male body but I'm not fucking and I'm not lifting so it's not like I use it much, I've developed some disassociation, it's fine and all and I have no desire to have anything but a penis myself, but I don't have a great affinity for it, and so don't really desire to see it represented in the game except in the explicit case of there being romance options, in which case I'll play a male to do my best attempt at tangentially self-insertingIn all other cases I'll play a girl character because it's more aesthetically pleasing.As a hypothetical, in the case of suddenly living in a post-cyborgization world, like ghost in the shell stuff, and being give the option between a male or female cyborg body... Being completely honest it kind of surprises even myself, but I'd probably stick with male. But going female wouldn't bother me either.I think I really just like treating character creators like an act of creative fulfillment, and the female form is what interests me when "sculpting". There's some degree of laziness there. I'm not picking up some clay or a pencil I'm being braindead working with materials and parameters someone else has given me.
>>720113397You write like a 95 IQ person's idea of a 140 IQ person
>>720113457This can be fixed.
>>720113497That 95 IQ person was imagined by Brick Tamland.
>>720113273Again, low IQ, but at least it's not autism
>>720101884Men like women disproportionately more than women like men.Women usually like the things that come with the man more than the man itself.Woman exists to be the center of attention, she can't self insert as a man because men usually are the ones giving the attention.
>>720113457>I think I really just like treating character creators like an act of creative fulfillment, and the female form is what interests me when "sculpting". There's some degree of laziness there.

Making pretty women is fun, especially if the character creator is shitty and the women are naturally ugly (like in Elden Ring), it adds a big of challenge.
>>720113273>if a game doesn't have a character i resonate with, i simply won't play itntathat's understandable though, it's like saying "oh i don't like cars, so i don't play forza horizon". everybody gets itbut this is not the same as self-inserting as the character, that's just preference. i like aesthetics of X, or prefer X, or like X, or enjoy doing X, so i play games or watch movies or read books that contain X, simple as. but that doesn't mean i want to outright become X.
>>720108845I think you're leaving out some details here.
>>720113578Yet almost every male MC is messianic.
>>720113674>is this really the best I can get?
>>720113570i'll accept this>>720113603that makes sense, i never self insert with a character that i desire to become, i self insert as a character that feels similar to myselfmaybe my interpretation of "self insertion" is wrong, since i don't "insert" myself into the character i play, but pick a character that feels most similar to who i am as a personit makes me feel like a fraud when i play a character that doesn't feel similar to how i assume i would behave in a similar situation, even if the game is completely unrealistichelp me understand, if possibledo people self insert as characters that they wish to become?i always assumed "self insertion" meant playing a character that feels most similar to yourself
