I dunno, man.
Playing as a guy forces you to constantly stare at a dude the entire time. That’s seems pretty gay. 💅
You joke but when I was playing AC odyssey, I did switch to a girl after an hour because I was tired of looking up a dudes skirt whenever I went swimming.
CDPR: we added a beard option for the insecure whiners, but it unlocks dwarves hitting on you.
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)
Not interested in…
Metroid.
Perfect Dark.
Mirror’s Edge.
Parasite Eve.
Portal.
Half of Resident Evil.
All of these pivotal, classic games have great female protagonists, and came out before Obama got elected… probably before this person was even born?
Maybe somebody could try the ‘return to tradition’ approach with this fool.
Even The Witcher itself. You might not play as a woman, but seriously, the women are definitely the shining stars of the series.
As a kid, who doesn’t get a little warped by Samus Aran being female? Maybe it was just my experience growing up in the christocultist world, but I was in denial about Samus at ~7-8 years old with my only familiarity being passive and Smash Bros.
Now I see anyone that has a similar outlook as being ~7-8 years old in their cognitive development and KAFS
I bet these dudes have no problem playing Tomb Raider.
And they were real pissed at the end of Metroid.
Guess he didn’t play Horizon either? Fucking dumb ass. I don’t ever remember thinking or feeling that I was the main character in the last Witcher. I for one look forward to playing this character.
I do remember them noticing Aloy had peach fuzz and immediately jumped to the conclusion that any woman not waxing her face in the roboapocalypse must be trans…
in the roboapocalypse
Even better, post ecological collapse, with the only culture carried over to the auto incubated new humans being the teachings passed on by robot kindergarden teachers, because the robot schools didn’t end up working correctly.
Presumably facial waxing is not part of the kindergarden curriculum :-D
