    Egg enthusiasts can’t understand that some men just like to look at women instead of self inserting. More at 11

      Exactly. That’s why I think men do that. Plus they probably get more attention.

      And thirdly possibly latent homoerotic inclinations makes them feel a certain way to receive male attention in that way?

    I don’t want to spend hours watching a dudes ass in 3rd person views.

      This is the dumbest take I’ve heard about this.

      You have an entire game around you to look at but you’re only looking at your characters ass? That just makes you sound weird imo

        Don’t worry, it’s an older meme, sir, but it still checks out.

        It’s another frequently joked about justification for why men play women in games, alongside the other common “because they get better outfits” or “they have a smaller hitbox”.

        Similarly:

          The original definition of a “meme” is that it is a unit of culture in the way that a grapheme is a unit of writing or a phoneme is a unit of sound. So yes, as a unit of cis-het culture, this is a meme.

    I’m a man who would have preferred to have been a woman but with no plans to ever transition. Games let me imagine a bit.

    An aside from trans memes, but I noticed I play as a woman more in voiced games vs the old silent protagonist games. They usually direct the male voice as flat and gritty and the female voice tends to have more range. True in both fallout 4 and cyberpunk at the very least. Makes the male action hero voice boring. I don’t want to spend hours listening to Han Solo being unphased.
