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.

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

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.
