Playing as a female character in a game?
When I first started playing games I hated that, I honestly didn't want to play as a female character. I remember this one moment in Super Mario Bros 2 where I picked Peach and I hated every moment of it. But over the years I did try out some female characters, I think the first time I was really curious about playing as a female character was in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. I couldn't help but wonder how different the story would be if your character was a woman and how the other characters would respond to you. Well that turned out to be not that interesting but I didn't care that much anymore about what kind of character you play as in a game. As long as the story is good and the characters are interesting then I can't really complain.
You prefer to play as a female character?
No, I don't mind playing as a female character but I would always pick a male character over a female character. Not that there is anything wrong with playing as a female character but if I have to spend a lot of hours in the game with a character, for example in Dragon Age or Mass Effect, then I prefer to play as a character I can identify with and that's a bit harder when the character is a woman. At least that's how I see it, perhaps it's different for other people. I'm still curious sometimes about the female playthrough. For example in Mass Effect I love the voice of Fem Shep and eventhough she pretty much says the same things as the Male Shep it's still a fun experience. I have noticed that some people always seem to pick a female character, even when there are enough male characters to pick from. Some people use this lame, I consider it to be lame, excuse that they would rather watch at the butt of a female in a game than that of a male. To be honest I don't even focus on that, I am mostly looking around for enemies or collectibles so I hardly even put my focus on the butt of my character. Unless it's a super shiny or sparkling butt, I mean that would be difficult to miss!
There is nothing wrong with wanting to play as a female character?
I used to think it was but in all honesty I don't think that there is a problem with that at all. I do think that in MMORPGs you shouldn't pretend to be a woman when you're not. What I mean with that is that some men will play as a female character and then pretend to a woman and keep hitting on you in that game. That isn't just annoying but also quite disturbing in my opinion. Just be yourself! Of course there is a thing called roleplaying and that's fine, but make it clear that you're roleplaying and not just assume others realize that immediately. People often whisper that to you in a private text so you're aware. I like playing as male characters that (kind of) look like me, so female characters are often not that interesting for me to play as in games. But I wouldn't say I never play as a female character, sometimes it can be fun and there is nothing wrong with having a good time in a game! For example in Overwatch I enjoy playing as Sombra, Tracer or Widowmaker every now and then. In Rainbow Six Siege some of the female operators have some really cool tech and my favourite weapon in the game is in the hands of Ash so it's only natural to play as her. I mean I can pick a shitty weapon in the hands of a male operator, for example Buck, but that often doesn't lead to happiness when you keep dying because of the recoil on that damn gun! So play the character you want to play as and have a good time, because that's often the reason why we play games...right? To have a good time!
