Ever Wonder How Many Female Characters are Male? 60%*
 
I just saw this article, https://quanticfoundry.com/2021/08/05/character-gender/, and thought it was interesting.

Quote:

In a typical core PC/console game, about 60% of the female avatars you meet are played by a male player.
Quote:

Almost one out of three male players prefer playing female characters.
Obviously, P99 might skew a little differently than the "typical core PC/console game", but I imagine it's pretty close to accurate.

So now if you're wondering "hey is that wood elf chick really a chick?", you know: the odds are about 1 in 3 :)

bro we knew this for like 20 years now

RPGs are like heroin to gays because they can roleplay as the opposite gender and flirt with guys.

wolf in sheeps clothing etc. its why there are so many trans people on p99, and guild names like kittens who say meow

We knew men played female characters, sure, but I'd never seen an unbiased study try and put an actual number on it before.

This only gives validity to the males playing female avatars because 'dont wanna look at male butts all day' excuse actually being true because females do the opposite

nah, women like women's bodies. the female form is a work of art, it is nature's magnum opus.

male bodies are weird and lumpy and just utilitarian

we exist just to do work, women exist to be admired

every society is at its strongest when these roles are fulfilled.
