Is it normal that i prefer to play videogames as a male character?

I'm a girl and I always prefer to play videogames as a male character. I'm sure it's not because I want to be a guy, I think it's because I can create the perfect boyfriend or whatever. But is it normal?

  • It's kind of the same reason why some guys prefer playing female characters, so they can see a hot woman while going through the game.

    I don't know if it's normal but not harmful. Keep on doing what you wish. :)

      "can see a hot woman while going through the game." That means they are Omega and don't get laid, boarderline Elliot Rogers. I humbly disagree.

      Perhaps the character acts as a substitute one less notch from that of a RealDoll... Think that's a healthy mind set? Well, it is a matter of opinion.

      • Make love not warcraft is one of the best damn South Park episodes ever. I think it was what got me in to playing WoW for a little while. :P

    I think society (or at least the media/entertainment industry) still conditions us to view male as the default and female as the exception. The main character is a guy who chases a girl. The hero is a guy who saves the girl. Normality is exemplified by the everyman (straight, white, middle aged, and middle class), not the everywoman. This suggests the ridiculous notion that men are inherently more relatable than women.

    In cartoons, males can be, for example, cute, plain little blobs, but females HAVE to be variations on the stock. The girl penguin has eyelashes, the girl cheetah has a pink bow, the girl snake has hair, etc. It's insane. Why can't the girls be the blobs and the boys be blobs with goatees? Why does that sound more stupid to us than what already exists?

    We have a long way to go. (Sorry for hijacking your topic, but it made me think.)

    I'll play male or female characters almost equally, but when I do play an opposite sex character I'll use whatever character customization is available to make them sexy.

    I don't see anything weird about that. I mean it's no accident that most popular movies have good looking actors.
