I've seen some compelling arguments from both sides of this debate but I'm interested in the GBS take on whether it's gayer to be a male or female character when you play video games. Some established lines of reasoning I've seen: 1. The looking at a man's butt or a woman's butt for 600 hours meme (obligatory). 2. "I play games to get away from mundane everyday life" - Not the most sound argument because it's heavily dependent on whether you are a bimbo or gym bro irl, and hints at repressed desires. 3. Transgender people playing as the opposite sex - Can be gay but usually less so than cis people doing the same thing because it's therapeutic. Kind of a lose/lose proposition because it's generally considered gay or at least on the gay spectrum to be transgender. 4. Free items - This one's quetionable for the same reasons as all the supposedly straight guys making gay porn. 5. Different stats / gear - The least gay but probably most sexist reason, and one of the more popular ones for both of those reasons. 6. I just play as whatever I am in real life - Maybe not the gayest option but definitely one of the more boring and uninspired ones; practically a non-choice. I'm surprised people this unimaginative aren't just playing CoD but they are out there, as you can see from their inclusion in this list.

I would say there are equally gay, which is maximum gay, because video games are only for gays. Check. Mate.

It's less gay to play someone of the opposite gender because when you play as a character you are effectively "entering" that character with your mind. The mind is, of course, the largest sex organ, so putting your mind into a character of the same sex is very gay.

Pretty sure there is quite a bit of scientific evidence that proves that video games turn you GAY.

I only play Dwarves. I name them all Vroomfondel and just run around in circles with them shouting VROOM VROOM VROOM! all the time until I'm kicked off the server. Does this help?

This argument is pretty common with a few variations, but it doesn't really hold up when you consider that a) a lot of games nowadays have a fixed (male) protagonist and also b) a large proportion of games have a first person perspective so you almost never see the character anyway - so maybe in the case of first person games it's more about what the character does or doesn't say, rather than what they look like.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:What if you're playing as a futanari? Not gay if you're cishet male or transwoman. You're looking at a woman's rear end, but you gently caress like a man. It's the best of both worlds, in which there's no men involved, yet you have penetration. However, all bets are off if you allow to be hosed or gently caress guys.
