>>26479193>other people play as girls because they recognize that a character portrayed in a pixelated video game is distinct from the self that they embody in reality.This exactly. When playing a video game, I find it very hard to relate to the character I'm playing as due to the fantastical nature of games. So I usually pick a character as far removed from me so that I can enjoy their story as it develops. Almost like a book.
Plus, girls are cuter.
