As a guy who plays female and male characters, the only real reason I have for it is I don't like the way the male characters look. My male titan is huge, and I don't like that, I feel like a giant heavy target, and I've seen the female titans that are about a third the size of my male titan, and I'd much rather play a character that looks agile yet powerful. I don't like the direction they went with having the male characters no matter what class, have very big box shaped torsos. That's the main reason, I don't like the male characters looks, that simple. I've got friends on both sides of the spectrum that play the opposite gender, so I'm not sure why it's such a big deal for people on these forums. And yes, I've read your edits, I'm speaking in general, your post is not the only one complaining/questioning this.
