Play a female character in an arcade game. Specifically the one in Golden Axe.
I usually play as a female character in 3rd person games because I prefer to look at a woman's butt rather than a man's. Seems like the opposite of gay to me, but apparently not.
I don't understand the people who get weird about the player characters in video games. Both the "Why do I have to play as a girl?" crowd and "Why can't I play as a girl" crowd. I played as Gordon Freeman and Chell and I turned out...not in prison.
But not very talkative
Yeah it's all Lara Croft's fault, all those gamers are gay now because of her
Yeah, for me itβs partly aesthetic preference but also Iβm not inserting myself into the game. Iβm controlling the character, not pretending I am the character.
Yeah I don't get people's need to associate the game character with oneself as roleplay. The game character is the game character and I'm just watching like I would in a film.
I've always played as her. She was hawt. Turns out I must be gay. Who'd have known.
old man ftw
Dumb. Obviously you're trans. /s
Or you could be trans, apparently (3^rd^ panel): https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=july-3-2020
Wow, that comic really fails to entertain in any way!
