I always make a male and female character and give them the same name from my other games if possible (I gave them personality/backstories in my head, dont ask). And sometimes I make multiple characters from different classes, species, races, skin colors etc. and if I feel creative, their back story/bio. Helps if one is a creative person that likes to write stories.

I almost always made girl characters.

And then I made myself one too 👍

The “RPGs to Trans” pipeline.

I, too, drank deeply from it.

Final Fantasy VI had some great women characters for its time and looking back I liked Celes quite a bit. Now I know why I guess. Lucca in Chrono Trigger was also pretty awesome.

Literally the same story as my friend from childhood, probably one of the reasons none of us were too surprised by her transition and we were all immediately supportive

Hey now in fallout(s) you can get a perk(lady killer/black widow) that increases the damage against enemies of the opposite gender, and being how that the ratio of men to women enemies is like 85% to 15% , it’s just smart and logical to play as a girl

AND NO OTHER REASON

New Vegas had me playing a bisexual character before I realized I am bisexual because it gave me that sweet damage buff vs everyone

Why do men, women, and enbies play as bisexual poly dragonborn in videogames?

Because that’s the option that allows the most playability/choices.

I sometimes prefer playing men just because of how male-gazy they make women look. It just seems weird at times, beyond what I’d brush off as artistic and stylistic choices.

In some games girls getting cooler clothes, like in Pokemon. In stuff like Guild Wars I loved both male and female armor sets, depending on the class.
