As a female gamer myself I have wondered why would you, as a male gamer, choose to play as a female character? I see this all the time when gaming online, or watching videos on YouTube and so on and I just can't help to wonder why.. When I play a game which gives me the opportunity to choose between a male and a female character I'd have to admit I'd rather play as a male. My reason for that is mostly because I think the female characters look lame compared to the male ones. Even though the female characters in Destiny look absolutely great! Nice job designers. But still I'm positive that I'll be playing with a male, simply because they are to me more badass and I love the masculinity
