I guess if you ever pick anything besides human male or human female in an MMO you want to be an alien or something, because that's supposed to be you, there's no other reasons for picking anything else, right?
And when you play Starcraft you can only pick Terran.
This is like straight out of tumblr logic, that what you play as is what you want to be. No, it's what is more interesting for you to use/look at. I would bet most people pick the girl because they have a better design, while the dude tends to look shitty or generic. I haven't liked the male protag design since Black 1.
If you think of the Pokemon protag as YOU, you're either a kid or autistic.
