Is it gay to play female characters?
>>322452370
/thread
not at all. Honestly the gender of your in game character means very little. Use whatever you want to be looking at when you play. When I play MMO I either pick a male or female of a race depending on how cool or cute they look.
Nope, it makes the experience more enjoyable for me.
It's only gay if you fantasies to deepthroat guys as the girl
otherwise it's 100% straight
>>322452370
is Guild Wars worth it now that it's F2P?
Who gives a shit
>>322452720
No.
No.
is it gay if I like girls?
>>322452370
Yes, you are a closeted faggot or would like to be a cute girl and fuckslave of a rude husbando
>>322452460
Always liked the i am playing a female charter because i don't want to look at at a mans ass argument.
Sounds so made up.
i play with grills all the time so long as they use their indoor voice and dress cute lol
It's gay if you treat the character as an avatar of yourself or something.
If you like the character or the look of them its perfectly fine.
This game has the best girls. It's pretty much a dress up game.
it's gay to play as human in an MMO, gender doesn't matter
>>322452720
It's not even really F2P, also it's shit and the expansion is garbage.
>>322452872
Why?
You literally stare at the screen with an ass for hours on end, might as well be a woman's ass.
>>322454162
i know who that cosplayer is
>>322454162
I think thay's the exuse that egoraptor eceleb used. And he's definitely not a closeted tranny.
>>322452370
>Like girls
>Be gay
/v/ always has everything backwards.
>>322452460
No, a normal person doesn't somehow exclude the player character from their field of vision.
>>322452720
guild wars 1 will always be worth it, even if that's not the question you ask
>>322452370
It's gay to play guild wars 2
>gw1 came out 10 years ago
>you'll never again experience someone running you to droks at level 2 for dat max armor in the ascalon arena

Jesus Christ. Best game of my entire life. Why did GW2 have to suck so bad /v/? Hold me.

>>322454485
Nobody's talking about excluding things from one's field of vision (and I'm not even sure how one would do such a thing). The character's backside just isn't an area of interest on the screen except in porn games and therefore doesn't need the player's attention.
>>322454162
>my eyes are drawn to ass when I'm using a male character
gaaaaaaaaaaaay
see also >>322452460
>>322455043
>and I'm not even sure how one would do such a thing
Yet you're talking about doing just that. You're saying an element in the center of your field of vision can be left "without attention", when it's been proven in studies that the human eye is always instinctively drawn to humanoid shapes and other familiar features.
>>322455304
I'm not talking about doing just that. Not paying attention to something is not the same as excluding it from your field of vision. Your field of vision is what you can see. That doesn't mean you have to pay attention to all of it. But clearly the post to which I replied meant something different by exclusion from the field of vision, and I took it too literally. I'm not really interested in arguing semantics.
What's more important is that I don't give a shit what studies say about where your attention is naturally drawn. I was merely pointing out that the character's backside is not important to gameplay and is therefore not a useful area of interest. You don't need to look at it because it provides no useful information, unless you're playing Dead Space (in which the thing on your back is literally your health bar).
I only pick girls because I want to be one
Is that so hard to understand
Depends on why you're playing as one.
>I don't want to stare a man's ass (or some variation)
You're not gay.
>I want to be the little girl
You're probably gay.
Then there's my (sorta stupid) reason for doing it in Splatoon.
>The male hair/tentacle style looks stupid, and there's virtually no difference besides hair/tentacle style (and voice?) between the male and female squidkids
Not really sure what I fall under. Maybe around the same category as reason 1?
>>322455719
>you don't need to pay attention to what you will automatically pay attention to
I don't even
>>322456002
>I don't want to stare a man's ass (or some variation)
Literally nobody has ever said this and been telling the truth.
My dad thinks I'm a full on tranny for playing as the other gender and considers playing the opposite gender in videogames crossdressing.
This is all because I play as Peach in Mario Kart 64 whenever we did multiplayer and he got really mad about it, especially when I win. I now play as a woman whenever I get the option.
Thanks for the tradition, dad.Well, he's half right about the tranny thing.
>>322454764
This.
I want to play as gay female characters. Is that gay?
>>322456107
Hence the (or some variation) part.
I'm sure there are some non-meme versions of "I don't want to stare at a man's ass" thing, like maybe you want to fuck your female character or something.
I dunno, man.
>>322456272
HIGH IMPACT
>>322456382
Festive celebration.
It's seriously fucking disgusting to me that a man would choose to play as a woman.
If you have ever made or even considered making a female character, seriously, take a look at your sexual orientation, because you're probably a cock-worshipping repressed sissy who doesn't know it yet. There is absolutely NO reason whatsoever to play as a female when the gender that you are is represented in the game. Any time someone on /v/ posts that they play as a female, I'm immediately put off by that poster. It's disturbing. You're a man. Pretending to be a woman won't change that, no matter how hard you try. Please fuck off to whatever shithole you crawled out of where you think this disgusting, disturbing bullshit is okay.
>>322456503
>pretending to be a video game character
Are you twelve?
>>322456430
take off that hat, it's not christmas anymore
Well girls are more fun to dress up and change into costumes.
It's like a bit gay to be playing dress up with a dude, no homo.
>>322452370
I dont see the characters as me, instead i try to create pure embodyments of an ideal
this makes me an artist so yeah, totaly fucking homo
>>322452370
As long as you don't use the shitty bug-eyed weeb face that the human women have.
>>322456004
>the fact that it draws my eye means it's useful information for gameplay
You're retarded. Sorry.
If you have the choice, isn't it less gay to have an attractive girl running around your screen rather than a buff man?
Like why does choosing to want to see attractive women make you more gay?
Saying 'I don't want to stare at a man's ass' doesn't mean that these people actually stare at male player characters ass. It just means that there's more interesting things to look at on screen per pixel when a good chunk of those pixels are taken up by curvy female booty rather than man butt.
>>322456503
>projecting your deep seated gender identity issues THIS hard
kek f,am
>>322456958
So much justification
>>322456757
pretty much this
I think most people dont actually self insert when playing games.
it's only gay when you start pretending to be a grill and doing that ERP roleplaying shit
I feel like playing a chick when you're a dude is just lame man. If I'm a man then I want to be male in whatever I'm playing, simple as that. If you do it for the "it's more attractive from the back/in general" meme, you have no self control.
>>322456958
No, because the buff man is my avatar in-game.
Wouldn't faggots want to play as a man ?
>>322457396
But what if you're playing a game a whole lot and you have 5 or 6 separate characters? Do you self insert in all of them or do you try making a few of them different at the risk of being called gay by /v/irgins?
It's not right to think so hard about such things.
>>322456564
>>322457020

>>322457865
they shouldn't, and we've pretty much gotten to the point where nobody really does
it's purely an aesthetic choice and most of the time people do not actually roleplay as their character
now, if you're an ERPer who's going around slutting their character, that's different
>>322457835
>>322457970
>you're insecure!!!!!!
Say the fags defending their pointless choice poorly on the Internet.
One reason. Give me one reason why you'd play as a female that's not "I don't want to stare at man ass" or "I love cock".
If you can't do that, get back on the train to Reddit.
>>322458128
I like women and I like to look at them. Dress-up with a female model is fun.
>>322457581
No. Everybody knows faggots are attracted to women.
>>322458128
Look out dude, it's the colour pink!
You're going to get cooties if you don't look away from the screen right now!
>>322452370
It's gay as fuck to self-insert regardless of what gender you chose to play.
>>322458186
>I love dress up
Didn't I say that your reason COULDN'T be that you suck cock.
>>322458243
Nice false analogy, but if you really want to shitpost, you should go with something good-related. Retards on /v/ love that.
>>322452370
No but it is gay to play Shit Wars 2.

Answer me.
>>322458128

No, in fact it's more straight than playing as a male.
>>322458971
To roleplay, you faggot. I'm not a Knights Hospitaller but sometimes, I too would like to make myself a righteous Arab slayer who likes to stare at his big fat zweihander. Why do you need reasons to play as something you aren't? Don't have the imagination? Or did you get catfished online as if you play games just to find dates?
>>322458128

Depends on how you play, if you running around hitting on male avatars then yeah, that's pretty gay, chances are the female avatars have guys behind them too but at least you can claim ignorance.
>>322459304
Come on, man. Ya blew it.
You were on a roll,
That's so obvious.
Not only are you triggering feminists but

You could have kept it going anon, I was rooting for you.
>>322459724
You got me senpai desu
>>322452370
There's nothing gay about it desu. I don't want to sound Tumblry but your desired gender doesn't necessarily dictate your sexual preference.
I just want to be a cute lesbian.
>>322452370
I don't even care if it is gay anymore. I fantasize about sucking e-dick in MMOs anyway. That's gayer than playing a female character.
>>322460071
>I fantasize about sucking e-dick in MMOs anyway.
Ya'll homos gonna get dicked on bad when NerveGear comes out forreal. Not in the good way either.

I doubt I will be. I fantasize about it but I don't erp. Not that I'm against it.
That "healer is addicted to dicks" thing you see in MMO threads? I think that sounds fun sometimes. And if there's any Amazon type race in the game (female roegadyn in FFXIV), I like the idea of getting dicked by futa variants.
But I don't do it.

Well I do it in role-playing games, but I always come up with a backstory for my character, and I play as plenty of different characters, so...
>>322452370
I assume you like your character, because players like their characters. This much we can be sure.

Stop giving retards like me attention, /v/
/v/, I have a confession to make.
I really really really love vaginas. I also love breasts and asses and thighs and hips and cute faces with beautiful eyes and kissable lips. I just can't help being attracted to women.
Will you still be my friend after knowing this about me?
>>322461621

I play womenz. But only when theyre extreme cuties.

>>322461621
No.
>>322456503
The fact that you have such a strong opinion about such an unimportant choice means you are secretly contemplating these thoughts in your head
One thing people get wrong and confuse is sexuality and gender identity, it's not gay to like playing as a woman, doesn't mean much either anyway.
Now if you play as a female because you identify your self as a female, that's called a transgender, not an homosexual, sexuality and gender identity and kind of intertwined but not at all connected for good. Maybe you just like a hot girl in your screen, maybe you feel good as a female, either ways, it's not gay, and even if it was, there is nothing wrong with it.
I play as a female in every character creation game, that's cuz i'm mostly gender-neutral but i'm also hetero, then i prefer a woman on my screen, plus, most games have a male main character, so i use games like Skyrim as an escape from all the chicle manliness.

That's the problem. When someone takes so many pictures of their character, you just fucking KNOW they've whacked it to them a few times.
>>322452370
It's gay to play male characters if you're male.

I just play whichever kind of hero I want to see in the story.
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone played female characters , females are superior at everything.
Males are only superior in physical strength and that doesn't matter nowadays
>>322456503
I always follow this rule.
1st character is always a strong bulky male like knight , paladin or barbarian.
Second character ( ie alt ) is always a female or when its a healer/ranger/mage or other support class.
Also females have a better customization always, in every game. And dresssing them up adds a lot to the character and personality.
If females gets a bouncy breasts, why males can't get a bouncy beards? Thats not fair.
Also not all games allow me to suplex a dragon or catch a snake mouth before he swallows me.
>>322464971
Oh you like that strong man, don't you, look at those abs, those arms, uuuuuhhhhhh.
Women, psh, they're inferior to men, men are much better.

So, you're saying if a man's ass is on the screen there is nothing more interesting for them to look at, and they are not interested in looking at a woman's ass? You're saying they are completely homosexual.

Kill yourself
>>322458128
Well my main reason is that I much rather like to look at a female body than a mans.
But to give you another reasons, the games were it matters the most are MMOs and females in MMOs tend to have way smother animations and more detail to their animations.
Playing them just feels more fluid.

I'm not gonna lie, this is a 10/10 bait, it's a shame you only got so few (you) despite being the 1st reply.With all that said, i only play as females in high fantasies or anime games because the treshhold for suspension of disbelief or whatever memeword is way higher. Women being competent warriors/soldiers in low fantasy or realistic medieval games are unrealistic as fuck and only /a/ tier weebs plays as them, like in Dark Souls. I'm not autistic enough to care about muh terminologies, but i consider Mass Effect as a low fantasy sci fi, so i played the male
>>322468471
