Eventually they’ll both think a little more deeply about why they “”“pretended”“” to be girls online. 🤔 😊

Ever deliberately let yourself get catfished by an insta “girl” just because they’ll listen to you and act interested in your life for a while?

Because I haven’t.

Fake: anon would not pretend to be gay up through the point of lesbian cybersex

Gay: I don’t see how this story could possibly be any gayer

I am a happily being a guy but I identified with Samuel in that story more than I ever would have guessed would have been possible. I have always been jealous of how easy it is for women to make friends and how tender their friendship are. I have never gotten along with macho guys and multiple times in my life people thought I was gay (I am only attracted to women, I just want tender friendships like women have with each other)…

I don’t like to call it “mental illnesses” because it makes it look like it’s a property of the person; however, it is a property of society:

honestly when i was a kid i always picked male characters (despite being afab) because “the clothes looked better”, fast forward a couple of years, i transitioned to male and i realised i used video games as my main escape from worsening gender dysphoria

same as an amab I always used to play women cause they got better clothes. I am not trans tho, I mean probably not.

I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It’s funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.

“Obviously I couldn’t dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game…”

It’s sort of like The Button thought experiment.

There are a few reasons I can think off:

  1. Trick people;
  2. Get items;
  3. egg Experimenting the thought of not being your current gender.

But just like the anon described, it’s one of the first two.

I often play RPGs as a female character, as a means of stepping outside of myself and actually, you know, role-playing. But I seldom play online games, and do not try to convince anyone that I’m a woman irl.

Still, it’s interesting how people assume that because I’ve chosen to spend my game time watching a female avatar run about, I must be a woman. I’ve been in some sticky situations, but none thus far involving anyone claiming to be lesbian.

Yeah, when I play an RPG and I create a character, I’m creating a whole character, not just a self-insert one. That character has a name, a backstory, a way of thinking, skills, experiences. When that character decides to join the Stormcloacks, it’s not because that’s what I would do. It’s what the character would do.

Some of those characters are women. Some are nonhuman. It’s a character, it’s not me.

“If I’m gonna stare at an ass for hours it may as well be a hot one” is a reason I’ve heard.

The last descendant seems to be leaning hard on that demographic as well. The outfits are… Basically shovelware mobile game coomer shit.

Honestly I’m not really an arse enthusiast so there’s not a great deal of that going on in my case. It does make me laugh though when gamerdudes moan about the “gayness” of having to play a female character.

That used to be my personal reason, but nowadays, I end up picking female characters even in games like Terraria where there isn’t exactly much sex appeal going around. Turns out I like the sounds too, and not just dialog. I prefer hearing a girl grunt instead of some big macho man when I’m jumping or getting shot or whatever.

I had a friend get a fucking voice changer just to keep the lies going when he did that in D&Donline. It still irritates me that it actually worked. Dude was rolling in gifts and invites.
