Is It Weird For A Guy To Play As A Female Character
Ever since I started playing destiny my characters have been male and that wasn't an issue until I started thinking about destiny 2 and how they are bringing your old characters into the new game and it made me think about my own character and if I really wanted to play as the same guy and I decided that I didn't so I made a completely new character except this time I made my warlock female and I was fine with it but now that I've hit 400 light I can't help but feel weird now playing on my character just because I'm a guy and I'm not saying that theirs a problem with having a female main character I just think that in a game like this where your meeting up with new people all the time I just think of situations where I'm playing and I meet someone and I'm playing as my female character and I turn on my mic and then a guy starts talking. I've become the guy me and friends used to talk about and it's weird so I've been thinking about just making a male character again so I can stop worrying about it.
I made this post mostly just to see what other people's opinions are on the matter and as a way to put my situation out there.

1 ReplyWeird? No. Geigh, yes. Also, mostly current and future sexual predators

I don't think so, my hunter was my first character and female. Really like the way the character looks with the equipment earned and think the overall game play suites the female gender for that particular character. My titan and warlock are male. Just my opinion of course.

Edited by StiviX: 6/20/2017 4:44:23 PMMy hunter is made. My warlock and titan are female. I want them all swapped. I realized too late that hunter gear, proportion wise, looks better on the female form. Most titan gear proportionately looks better on a male form, and warlocks can go either way (but the warlock gear I like looks better on males)

no. Its not weird. I'll personally be happy once the whole "macho manly" thing is gone anyway. Guys, hold your womens purse, who gives a flying fck? Seriously, its a purse, don't cower in the corner and hold it like its a soggy wet diaper. Play as a woman if you want. anybody who says otherwise just aint comfortable with themselves.

41 RepliesYou should play as a girl, cause your post could've used a period or two.

Yes. Very much so, but so is a bunch of other stuff people do literally every day so screw it.
-
Yes it is but it's a video game it's whatever.

5 RepliesMan it's 2017. You can be or play as anything you want. I've games with normal dudes like myself that run female characters with the reasoning that "I'm gonna be staring at the back of this character for hundreds of hours, so I wanted something interesting to look at" Other guys may be "exploring" something. Others are doing it for the lols. Others may have some other reason. Whatever category you fit into, im sure no one will judge. You just do you man.

Man, I'm a 6' 3" big, burly black dude but my main Hunter is Asian with a hipster haircut and one eye. Do what you want.

3 RepliesAll 3 of my toons are male and I've been thinking about restarting my warlock as a female character. So am I right in saying if I have 3 toons they will all carry over to D2?
-
1 ReplyIn short: yes. To put it the long way: yeeeeeeeeeeeeassssss. In all seriousness, it's only weird if you role play as female in chat. Also: enjoy the people that assume your gender based on your character and try to flirt with you.
-
Nah, i play female too. It only gets weird if you jerk off to it or role play.
-
I tried to make a female character. I realized after I was done that she looked like my ex wife. So, I did to her what I did to my ex wife... Got rid of her
-
I say no. I like the female model much better for the hunter than the male one
-
I say no, cause 10 year old kids think I'm a female, and try flirting, then I just get to mess with them
-
Nope. All of my characters are female, once previously males. Males feel off to me in this game, so I went with the other choice.
-
Nah man, you play how you want. Other people play how they want. The character is only a representation of yourself if you choose to have it that way, other than that, it's just an avatar in a video game. NBD.
-
This was a question 2 years ago. Why is this being brought back now?
-
3 things: 1. it's not a representation of myself. 2. To me: hunters= agile, nimble, and flexible. It felt like a female fit that bill. 3. A throwing knife kill+awoken wave = "thank you! Thank you very much! You're too kind!"

If I have to stare at a character while I run across the galaxy, id rather it be a female, than a male I pretend is myself.

2 RepliesEdited by Ghostmime: 6/18/2017 1:27:25 PMYes. Edit: unless it's a game where the character is a character of narrative and not an extension of the player e.g. Lara Croft.
-
No. In 3rd person mmos I always play a female character. Cuz if ima stare at a butt for hours on end its gonna belong to a waifu....

4 RepliesIf you had a guy and a girl standing in front of you, who would you want to stare at more?
-
Have two characters that are female and one male. You can hardly tell the gender for the characters when you're heavily armoured and I like having some variety in my characters.

4 RepliesEdited by deatheater200: 6/19/2017 12:07:02 AMI'm a male and every single game that lets me make my own character I choose a female. Destiny Division Fo4 Skyrim Etc. I've had the same thoughts that you have where if I'm playing with someone as a female character they may think I'm female then turn my mic on and I'm a male, honestly it doesn't really matter. If you like the way your female looks and prefer how armor/clothing looks on them compared to males, who cares what other people think, it's your character

🤦♂️ look pal, if you're this confused about playing as a girl in a game I can only imagine how hard the real world must be on you.
