Was curious what weight gaming’s user base identifies as in in regards to gender, and what gender you would prefer the main character in a game your playing to be?
I would be okay with a male character because I can project myself into him (because I’m a dude), but I prefer my character to be a girl because I am more attracted to girls
… this is if we talkin bout fetish games
Second one depends on the type of game, if it’s somehting like a visual novel then I would probably prefer to be male as a self insert. If it’s something more character driven, especially if it is the player character gaining; I would want to play a female
Usually when it comes to characters that are basically your avatar, or are meant to represent the player directly, yeah, I’ll often opt for a character gender that is also male and a guaranteed choice if it’s a fetish game of some kind.
When it comes to games with more pre-established stories, and you basically see it through a controlled characters’ eyes, anything is fair game – cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, you name it! Hell, I like Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening so much as a character that she’d easily outrank a lot of the male characters I’d place on a personal list of favorite video game characters!
I prefer females (in gender not sex. Sex isn’t much of an issue for me) so I put that down. However I do like cute boys and femboys too. I put my gender as male but I’m over all gender apathetic.
