There is nothing wrong with it and there is no deep meaning behind it. Just play what you like

This AGP narrative has gotta be some troon psyop. Since the dawn of vidya, we played as girls to oggle at them, whether it's Chun-li in SF2, Blaze in Streets of Rage, or Lara in Tomb Raider. You picked the girl to perv on her while enjoying the game. What kind of fucking headcase thinks "my videogame character = me?". Sounds like you got a bigger problem than even troonism.

it became a thing in late 2010's with the rise of faggotry and mental issues, people went from "i want to play that character" to "i want to be just like that character" and can't tell difference between fiction and reality anymore

People who call out anime and or people who play girls in games are not confident in their sexuality and are probably homos
>>
This entire discourse is just people that can't sperate the self from the things the self interacts with
A lot of people don't get this, but to midwits, the character on the screen HAS to be literally them or just close enough. The idea that the character you create in a video game is not LITTERALLY YOU, but a fictional construct that you crete is alien to them, so they treat this behavior as mental illness. The "I don't want to stare at a man's ass" is just an attempt at appealing something the low IQs do understand, sexuality. But it falls flat because they don't actually understand what it's like to be low IQ. In truth, there is no explanation you can give to some 90 IQ SEAmonkey because they just don't get the fundamental concept behind it.
This is also why video game characters in the modern age are fat ugly women and niggers. Because the industry hires fat ugly women (or "women") and niggers.
This is also why the BG3 devs lamented that the overwhelming majority of players were male human fighters. They can't even entertain the idea of being themselves but with pointy ears or dressed in a funny wizard hat.

Simple facts
Is the game narrative driven with choices where you are meant to inhabit your character? Then male
Is it an mmo or otherwise completely vapid game where the only purpose of the character is that they're a dress up doll? Then female

My straightest friend plays exclusively cute girls in games (Lux, Akali, Gwen, D.Va, Kiriko), my second most straight friend plays unga bunga big dudes, my bi friend plays cool dudes (Dante), I play sex gremlins if the game gives me the option I'm trans.
What I conclude from this, is that this shit is in fact, not consistent at all. Go play whatever you like.

>>743839532
It's funny, whenever me and my bro play games I would nearly always make the smallest cutest girl I could, and he would always play the biggest, musclest bara character you could make. At the time I just thought it was a funny contrast.
It didn't click until he actually told me he was gay.

The difference I suspect is the MMO/second life nature of things now. Back then it was
>Play as chun li in street fighter, then it's over
Now it's
>Play as girl character in MMO
>Socialize in MMO
>MMO group identifies/associates you with the character - you're Silverbreeze the elf ranger, not Fred the IT help desk guy.
It becomes a feedback loop. A strong mind can separate the two, a weaker mind is vulnerable to the "maybe this is just expressing who I really am. I'm not silverbreeze the elf but I feel more myself as a female presentation". At the same time there was some jarhead navy seal hairy roidrage guy who became transgender.

>>743840824
I hate warhammer only fags but most fantasy or sci fi fiction will have some character for them to associate a bit more with. There's a few ones I've read that were highly focused on a girl but it wasn't so first person as to be an issue. Was funny though, I judged a book by its cover because it had this hot Arabian nights ninja bitch with insane narrow waist hips. Protagonist was a thanks mr skeltal thin and flat as a board librarian detective bitch, the curvy girl was probably the 2nd deuteragonist who only showed up in that book. Good series though, I keep trying to find the name of it again.

>>743839958
I just don’t really care about male aesthetics. Like are you gonna spend hours in a character creator trying to chisel out an attractive dude? It just doesn’t bother me one way or another. Whether it’s a bald space marine that got walloped by the entire ugly tree, a JRPG twink that’s a walking fashion disaster, or a cartoon Italian plumber, playing as a guy is the default. It’s normal. Unremarkable. Playing as a super hot girl though? That’s interesting. That’s an attribute.

>lists a variety of different types of men, and calling it unremarkable

I think the whole "play as a girl = troon/agp" thing is way overblown, but your argument for why you play as a super hot girl every time isn't making sense for the explanation you gave.

I will not agree or disagree there but that does touch on something I always hated/found suspicious as shit. Whenever it came to male vs female options for a character for some magical sheer happenstance reason people always go and rave about how much better the performance and quality of Femshep, Femhawke, Cassandra, ectera. I've never heard someone with that position ever concede that the fem voice/avatar was worse in a particular case. Reality does not work in such a way as to always give you a perfect batting average to your tastes. So it always comes off as people who would never like a male character (like yourself) rather than an objective measure of the writing/presentation.

No, being angry all the time is not good acting, she's just fucking irritating.

Because inhuman feels, sensations and ideas... And I do not consider anime girls humans, more like grey aliens but more free and spiritual, a networked vessel.

>>743839958
Depends on the setting and aesthetic of the game.
Sometimes I make a cute girl in a cute setting. If it's more grungy or brutal of a setting I make some monster dude/undead guy.

If character creation is good and there's no romance in the game, I play as a cute girl. Preferably a loli. Otherwise, I play an old man. In cases like Dragons Dogma where I get two custom characters, I play as a giant old man warrior and the follower gets to be the loli mage.
