Why do Men Play Female Characters?

Community General Discussion
21

You can create a character and:

  • Consider it’s you on the virtual game world
  • Ignore the above and just play the character you created

With the above conditions in mind, the conclusions on why someone create a different gender inside the game may differ

I’ll leave you to guess them

How refreshing to see such a new and interesting topic, where every single facet and nuance hasn’t been thoroughly explored 17,000 times before!

Maybe they think they will get extra attention if they are in a skimpy female mog. LOL! (The sad part is they do)

ive heard two things:

-i wanna stare at a female butt all day, not a mans.

-female models are usually thinner / less bulky. Feels like the hitbox is smaller and see more of what’s happening on screen.

but i prefer playing males as im a male. wouldnt wanna exploit young men’s naivity with my pixelated feminine look :wink:

There’s a Japanese word for it and it starts with an H.

Vanillanoob is the greatest WoW philosopher of his generation. Always asking the difficult questions as an attempt to delve into the heart of gamers and gaming in general.

But to answer your question I like how the women look in armor.

I said it is ONE of the reasons, not the reason. I was not accusing anyone in specific of doing that, sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Maybe they wouldn’t suck so much at not standing in the fire if they didn’t do this =P

don’t forget 3.

Ground effects are much easier to see with a smaller model and female models are universally smaller.

So is this topic like a once a month thing for you?

It is like you are taking a russian troll farm correspondence course and this is your homework
