    For me it’s not even about gender identity or role playing. If I’m going to spend 200 hours in a 3rd person RPG looking at a character’s ass, that ass had better be female.

      “Everyone that has ever even thought about roleplaying as a different gender is secretly closeted trans” is one of my least favorite takes of all time.

      Gender is bullshit! Try shit! It’s a perfectly healthy and normal thing everyone should be comfortable with, don’t make it into a thing.

        Gender is not bullshit, gender is real and trans people are real. Stop spreading stupid anti-trans rhetoric. People who feel and express a certain gender are more likely to be that gender, even if that gender doesn’t align with their assigned gender at birth.

          “me not being able to label anyone that breathes funny as a closeted trans person is anti-trans rhetoric” is certainly one of the takes of all time.

          It’s the exact same shit as “teehee they’re intelligent they must be autistic” or “oh you organize your socks you must have adhd/ocd”. It’s not suddenly okay to assume shit about people when it’s that they’re not cis/neurotypical.

          Gender is whatever the fuck any individual wants it to be for them. I like how that other commentor described it, gender anarchy.

            Being trans isn’t a choice and our society already stigmatizes being trans so people deny it or won’t accept it and make up dumb excuses to not accept the fact they are a trans girl. But people need to come out because being closeted isn’t healthy, and the sooner the better. Why are you so against trans people coming out and accepting themselves as trans?

              People can do whatever the fuck they want, to themselves. You don’t get to tell them what they are or aren’t. There is nothing different between calling a stranger an egg and telling someone you don’t believe they’re really trans.

              Anyways, this conversation will clearly never go anywhere productive. I hope your real world day goes better.

    Since the dawn of gaming I always picked the more aesthetic choice, which mostly is the female choice. Never cared about the “u play woman? U gay!” Idiots…

      I never understood how me preferring to look at a female figure while playing a game was ever something to question…
