>YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SELF INSERTOk then what does the "role playing" means then in the RPG genre?
you're playing someone else, not yourself
>>739005818you aren't a girl
>>739005818>self inserters when their character is drowning
>>739005818You can play the role of a character without projecting yourself into that character.
>>739005897You're roleplaying someone else as who?

>>739005818You can RP as a version yourself. But at the end of the day, you're not a medieval magic-knight with a sword and shield trying to rescue a kingdom. So you make up a character and RP as that character.Are you literally ten years old? Or just retarded?Oh. Wait. You're a zoomer, so both.
>>739005818I only play games where I can self insert, if I can't relate to the person on the screen I don't play it.
>>self inserters when their character falls to their death

>>739005818Do you know when you kids say>larp larp larp sahurSame vibes
>self inserters when their character is burning
>>739005818>Human>Male>Fighter>Neutral Good>My nameah yeah it's roleplaying time
>self inserters when their character gets nuked
>self inserters when their character is gay
>>739005818only people with mental disability (like americans or woke sjws) pretend they are their virtual characters and assume others are doing the same
>self inserters when their character gets shot
>>739005897I'm glad someone said it. A 'role' is a character you play. Most games are 'role-playing' games. The exception is games with a character creator which are not 'role-playing' games unless you create a character which is not meant to represent yourself, and games which have no playable characters.
>>739005818do you know what acting is? playing a character? or are you one of the "people" with actual brain damage that's incapable of it on a neurological level?
>self-inserters when other-inserters walk in
>>739005818Roleplaying refers to your avatar's abstracted stats influencing gameplay rather than the player's mechanical skillsthe type of role playing you're referring to is a bastardization by the mentally ill in second life and g mod
>>739005997Someone who isn't you.For example, lets say you are a tranny.You should play as a woman, because that way you get to experience something you never can in real life.
>>739005818Self insertion doesn't really make any sense in the first place because no video game is deep enough to offer any kind of experience. Painting some kind of deep fanfic over the existing story is more of an autism thing.
there are far too many unironic trannies on /v/ nowadays
>self-ejecter
>nah bro you are totally not self-inserting.... STOP HAVING FUN>*game purposefully has a mute protagonist*really nigga?everyone is obviously capable (I hope, I mean we are on 4chan so who knows) to differentiate fiction from reality but when you are playing a game you likely make the decisions and actions that you imagine you would do in that situation given the rules and world buidling of the game, of course you are not a knight isekaid into an anime world that you must save, but it's undeniable easier to immerse yourself as a white man (like me) than a random bitch or some unknown mystery racethis applies to games with a character creator (where there's more freedom to pretend and larp as someone completely different) and linear games with a single MC with no choicelook no matter how you twist it but bros WILL give you a weird look if they find out your modded bimbo slut character named "Daddy's Whore", it's just how it is
>>739006163Thats actually a very female way of interacting either media, men are typically more abstract and deal with the imaginary. In other words, you’re an idiot.
>>739005818You play as the character.I like to do both, I create as close to myself in traits and so on and seeing how I'd handle it and I play as characters.However anyone crying about this are pretentious cunts. The vast majority of people don't roleplay in RPGs, they play them as adventure games with branching dialogues and different paths.If you could ask 100 players of any RPG right now, the vast majority of them would say they're not roleplaying.It's just something losers online larp about to feel better.
>>739005818>t. media literate who thinks that actors in movies and the characters they play are one and the same
it's a reference to the game's origins from DnD type shid, where you literally roleplay. they're called role playing games because they are video game versions of DnD type shidbut outside of that, sometimes you really do need to wait 20 hours before making an appearance. sometimes you're just an pig
VR games are underrated for this since you have to physically act out atleast some of the things that the characters does
