I really wish the people who say shit like this would realize how pathetic it makes them sound. I have never once felt my masculinity was being threatened because the player character in video game was female.

Agreed. In games with a gender option, I just pick the one with the better VA.

When given the option, I pick female/woman presenting. When given the option, I pick black or poc. When given the option, I give them a killer outfit so they can slay all day.

As a straight white Jewish man, I like to imagine that I’m the quintessential oppressed citizen ready to take everything down with all I have. Anytime I kill a bad guy, a good guy, some random bystander, whatever, I tell them to shut the fuck up cuz I’m taking this all down.

At least, that’s how I justify it to myself. Maybe I just like strong black women and killing literally everyone.

Uhh…

I think I recognize your username and I think I’ve seen some good takes from you and you’re not just pulling a bit… but that’s kinda weird, lol.

Is there like a therapist you can go to in order to unpack your privilege/oppression mix and work through stuff like this? Asking for me, actually. (I could probably get it billed under trans stuff in my case though, lol)

I totally consider femshep the canonical Shepard, Mark is a solid voice actor too but Jennifer just does it so well, especially renegade imo.

No one has said anything about their masculinity being threatened.

I’ve never felt my masculinity challenged by anything. Because I am a man and whatever I or anyone else does will not make that different. What a bunch of weak, soft, clowns people complaining that women exist in video games or the “transvestigators” are.
