I always make a male and female character and give them the same name from my other games if possible (I gave them personality/backstories in my head, dont ask). And sometimes I make multiple characters from different classes, species, races, skin colors etc. and if I feel creative, their back story/bio. Helps if one is a creative person that likes to write stories.

I'd rather look at a girl's butt than a guy's tbh

The video mentions smaller hitbox, but a smaller character model also gives you more ability to see around your character from the 3rd person camera perspective. When I played World of Warcraft, I chose the man model of the largest race (for the racial bonus) and wore bulky plate mail body armor as part of my character class. I realized it was hard to see whether I was standing in fire or other ground effects. Watching other people play, I noticed that it was easier to see whether you are standing in bad stuff if you chose to play a woman human character, and much easier if you played as a gnome. I chose to start using consumables which made my character model visibly smaller.

I’m sorry to say this but back when I played vidja I only played as women because I wanted to feel cool and a feminist ally, I actually preferred and enjoyed playing as a man kitty-birthday-sad

My often go for female if given the choice. No idea why though.

Although my main in WoW from MoP to TWW is a male troll hunter[was a female BE paladin from wrath to MoP]

I don't often play female characters in fighting games as they rarely are made in the archetype I like. I like grapplers and charge characters. I do like Mokoto in street fighter. Tiara from punch planet. A few others I could rememberwith time.

Men protagonists tend to feel kind of cliché.

Also I'm a little shallow and like seeing women, especially powerful, competent ones.
