For me it's not even about gender identity or role playing. If I'm going to spend 200 hours in a 3rd person RPG looking at a character's ass, that ass had better be female.
My man! 🤝

Isn't skyrim FP though?
Skyrim can be played as either, though I personally do prefer 1st person in the case of Skyrim. I specifically said '3rd person RPG' because the point I was making wasn't limited to just Skyrim, and anything played 3rd person is obviously where it's important to my experience of, ah... the game. Yes, totally of the game.
Didn't remember that about Skyrim, thanks.
Exactly! The fact I'm taking oestrogen and wearing pretty clothes is totally unrelated. Still cis BTW.
I notice your pronouns are she/her -- are you a cis woman then?
I'm trans - the "still cis btw" was a little jokey joke
Since the dawn of gaming I always picked the more aesthetic choice, which mostly is the female choice. Never cared about the "u play woman? U gay!" Idiots...
I never understood how me preferring to look at a female figure while playing a game was ever something to question...
Easy! drumroll It is still drumrolling Toxic Masculinity! Those that fear to become gay after a prostate-exam :-)
Unrealistic. Lacks modded bazoongas bigger than character's head.

As someone who played korean MMOs for most of his youth, women were the only choice as every male skin looked like he's wearing painted cardboard lmao.
Listen to "lady of the dark" from Sabaton, you'll automatically create a woman character named Milunka whatever gender you are.
You'll be fully immersed and you'll feel Serbian even if you're from another country !
Smaller hitbox ftw
I'm gay and I still play women characters in most games lol

A lot of male characters in games kind of look like they’re compensating for something. I’ll play any character type though - like the variety.
