Why do so many guys play as female characters?
It's so confusing when someone joins a fireteam with a female character and ends up being a dude (*cue Aerosmith*).
Do they all just want the D? But seriously, can any guys who do this shed some light on.. why?
I feel like someone pulled an Oprah, "You get a female warlock, and YOU get a female warlock! Everyone gets female warlocks!"
Edit: Jesus H. Christopher, I'm curious. I've noticed this quite often since I started playing, and I can't answer this question for myself, so I wanted some insight. inb4more "why do you even caaaaare?!!1!?!?"
Edit again: holy -blam!-, I'm a girl. Hence why I don't have insight to why this happens.
Edit, take three: thanks to everyone who gave a legitimate answer! I appreciate the insight :-)

1 ReplyI have been gaming for 20+ years and have alwats played female characters where there is an option to do so (I am male). Originally, it was to wind up all the little boys that used to come up to me and say inappropriate things because my character was female. Llistening and watching them freak out when they found out I was male was very entertaining. Now, I have them out of habit. There should be no gender bias in gaming. Unfortunately, there still is. From both sides. I have been in forums where female gamers rage against the injustice of males playing females. Even the MMORPG acronym has an new meaning now: Mainly Males Online Role Playing Girls.
