Playing characters that are opposite your gender

[Amnesia.]

Just a poll to see the community's views. Not a debate topic or so.

 

I have a guy and girl account. I pretty much only play on the girl account (Girl account is level ~60, Guy is level 4). I don't role-play the account and if someone asks me I tell them that I'm a (straight) guy IRL. I just like being able to see and dress (pretty fun lol) a hot, badass criminal chick. I see myself as playing her, rather than being her.

Well, I have a guy and a girl, tho I've only started using the girl recently, but it really is irrelevant whether your character has same gender as you do or not, imo. And I don't role-play.

[Shootinalloveryourface]

I used to play as a guy but now I play exclusively as a girl.

 

I never bothered with outfits on my guy. But with the girl, I love making new outfits. I've made so many outfits and I switch them up constantly. Different fashions and styles.

 

I get lots of attention from guys, and if they ask me if I'm a girl, I pretty much always say yes.

 

Being totally honest it excites me

I play as a bull, I'm not a bull in real life (yet)

This thread again. Some people do, some don't, some find it odd, some don't. Most simply don't care.

Sorry I only joined a week ago, and haven't seen a thread like this in the search feature. I know we all have varying opinions, hence why I made the poll.

Pretty much.

 

But by and large;

 

 

about how other people choose to play their copy of the game.

 

 

If you want to roleplay that you're a woman, that's fine. This is the internet, in case you forgot.

Why don't people just ignore topics that they don't like? I don't see what the big deal is? O.o It's a droplet of water in a beach of threads on this forum.

[Blasterman4EVER]

I made a topic with a poll that was better than this not too long ago, and it was met with derision and psychotic statements by people defensive about swapping gender rolls, and I didn't even ask if anybody thought that the people who play as opposite sexes are weird.

If this thread doesn't get trolled by the ultimate scum of this forum, which will force it to be locked (they do this intentionally, mind you), I will be insulted.

The search function here on the site is pretty much broke so Google Is Your Friend...

 

 

The reason why people are making the comments they are because these topics never end well it always ends up with bashing males who play as females and homophobia always makes an appearance

They only end badly because the weirdos come out of the woodwork and preemptively attack the original posters and accuse of them of making unfair judgements. I haven't seen one thread in which an OP asking this question was accusing anybody of being gay or transgender.

 

All I see are the weirdo guys who ARE playing as women (partially in an effort to troll other guys online) coming on here, getting defensive, and trolling the thread until it gets locked.

 

There is nothing wrong with this topic or the OP. What is wrong is the people that immediately come on here and shout him down like idiots. Which is coming soon.

 

There is obviously nothing wrong with playing as the opposite sex in and of itself.

According to the poll, it seems like the majority of people see nothing wrong with it.

You officially have the best character.

 

[hsthompson]

I only play a female because my male character was deleted year ago through an update.

He was level 100 and she was a 50. Wasn't about to start over again.

[Ocelot]

Triple no.

[JON22]

Guaranteed the up direction on the right stick is f*cked if anyone here plays as a female.

 

Because third person and stuff.

 

Probably. I wouldn't know........

What?

 

I don't follow.

 

I don't care if anybody plays as the opposite sex.

 

But for me, I think it's weird to play as the opposite sex, because it ultimately leads to some form of roleplaying. Is it bad to be weird? Hell no. Might playing as the opposite sex make you a weirdo? Probably, especially if you role play. Is being a weirdo a bad thing? Hell no. I'm a total weirdo.

 

But I don't play as the opposite sex because I don't identify with it.

 

The problem here is people equating weird/taboo/abnormal with gay/transgender/slurs/unapproved etc.

 

It's okay to do whatever you want, sex wise, and be as weird as hell, but be real about it. If you're somebody who is going to get offended by a thread like this in the first place, I suggest you become more comfortable with yourself.

 

Is it weird that I have a Tom Cruise avatar and signature? Yes. Do I know that? Yes. Do I care? Yeah, but I'm not ashamed.

 

Basically, if you are a weirdo dude playing as a chick and role-playing, own up to it and embrace your weirdness rather than getting all pissed and shouting down the OP.

 

Threads like this get locked and trolled because it makes people who are uncomfortable with themselves offended.

He's saying that he agrees with your post:

Gay.

 

 

 

 

Tbh I dont care if you play with a female character, but do not take it too far and act like a actual girl. Dudes even playing under a girly gamertag, lol.

[Amnesia.]

Which reminds me. My name is Le Caire in the game. It just means "Cairo" (Egypt's capital) in French. It was my internet username from a decade ago.

 

Not sure if it's because I'm playing a female character or not, but a number of times people read it as LeClaire. Makes me lol.

How many people have played Tomb Raider (Lara Croft)?
.......

exactly, no-one cares

[PS-GTAIVplayer]

Rarely,no, no. I wanted to see if it was hard to see the stripper grinding my bra and mini stripper. That was no, as the strippers look a bit scary.
