I was literally playing as a girl before it was cool in the early-00s (as a straight cis guy). My friends called me gay or thought it was weird and so did other gamer guys. Now all my friends do it and it's popular in general (again, in relation to straight cis guys).
I sometimes want to play as a guy now because it's too mainstream and I'm a hipster asshole. Only half kidding.
Them: "You play a girl character? That's pretty gay."
Me: "I'm not the one staring at man-ass for several hours each day."
I also play girl characters when avaliable, I like how badass is having a girl gunning down or slicing enemies.
They have a smaller hitbox! Probably!
I relate 100%
