Guys relax.

Role playing is about escapism and wish fulfillment. You are after all, adopting the role of the character in question: Attitude, gender, desires, etc...

If part of someones escapist fantasies and wish fulfillment is being a woman, more power to them.

Is it so hard to fathom that someone who lacks this desire is NOT a homophobe, a masoginist or is threatened by female characters?

It's about immersion and what a player most strongly identifies with.

Also, I think it is a tragedy that female gamers have been forced to play male character for as long as they have.

Lately, more games have remedied this glaring problem, which is a good thing :)

Mysogynist. The Angry One likes to throw around that word a lot.:P

And I mostly agree with your points, even though I don't think anyone's been accusing us, lowly oppressive males and in this thread of stuff you mentioned?

If your a male and given the choice would prefer to be a female rather than a male in a game where everything is exactly the same no matter what gender and you pick female as your first choice, that would make you either a perv because you like to look at a pixelated women you made, or someone who prefers to be a female.

I don't mean to offend or ridicule by doing this, but I'll project it in another way for you.

If your a human and given the choice would prefer to be an elf rather than a human in a game where everything is exactly the same no matter what race and you pick elf as your first choice, that would make you either a perv because you like to look at a pixelated elves you made, or someone who prefers to be an elf.

Imagining very few think life would be better as an elf (I have no numbers on this... consider it a woman's intuition? ;D), I wonder why we get so much whine about missing origin stories. As you can see, people do not always play to put themselves into the game. I have male characters even though I'm female irl, and I doubt I'd always make female characters first if it wasn't for the simple fact 99% of the games I play have a male protagonist with no choice about it - playing as a woman still feels exotic and awesome, even though it by no means should.

You can strip them naked and have lesbian sex with other female characters.

Also I should've put variables (voice acting, etc) but I am far to lazy to edit my post to do so.


If you want to be taken seriously, then you probably should say what you mean.

Just speculating.

Projecting are we? :wizard:


I don't see any other explanation as to why a guy would rather play as a women instead of a man first if everything is exactly the same no matter what gender (which you could say is the case for DA2).

Clearly there is nothing more MANLY than d00ds on the internet who have never had a girlfriend calling people homophobic slurs for having female avatars.

There is nothing more MANLY than d00ds who don't have girlfriends playing PRETEND EMO BASS ASSES in BEARDs slashing dragons.


Wow. Your rear end must REALLY hurt. I pity you.

I like Jo Wyatt's performance. Boulton has been forever tainted as Vaughann in my mind. Although playing Vaughan Hawke and rivalmancing Merrill is oddly appealing, if only for the squeaky factor.

I think the more important question is... who wouldn't want to be female? Come to the dark side!

This picture is so manly that you grow a beard and a (additional) pair of testicles just by looking at it.

As a man, I AM the dark side apparently :)

That's cool though, there is nothing better then finding some hot, innocent women to 'corrupt'

If being a man is the dark side, and you're bringing women over to it, that means you're turning them into men. I bet that thought isn't that appealing now, is it? 

My version is much better. >:3

This sentence violates evry law of logic.

Do you mean A = B   B = C  so   C = A   ?

This is not mathematics.
It doesnt work like that.

Tempting... but no. Sex change doesn't really sound appealing to me, I think I will stay with vidja games.:lol:

How so? It's very literal logic. And used entirely for the purposes of the joke. Perhaps that's where you're falling down on it. Just take it less seriously and you'll be fine.

ETA: Don't start a debate on logic because I don't really want to get serious at this point in time. I'm taking a day off from it. ;)

I'm sorry are you trying to insult me or troll the boards with a childish homophobic slur? I can't quite tell with you sometimes.

@xkg: Hehe not at all. I was sure the absurdity of my statement would speak for itself. >:3
