Simple, I just have no desire to be in the shoes of a female character.  =P

That's not very simple at all. 

Do you have a desire to play as a monster?  

When you play Uncharted, do you desire to be in the shoes of an adventurer who gets shot at?

The gender of a character really doesn't matter.  It's just a label to describe what parts a person has.  

Why do you have such difficulty playing with different parts, particularly when inhuman creatures have more different parts than woman do?

It is actually that simple.  I have no desire to play as a female.  Been there, done that, got the T Shirt.  It is not for me as my disinterest in the concept leaves me disconnected from the game world.

 

On the other hand I do have interest in being in the shoes of a male adventurer being shot at as well as being somewhat demonic or beastly.  These concepts interest me and therefore leave me connected to the game world.

 

Regardless of what a lable (and it is more than just parts but that is another subject entirely) stands for, I have no interest in the concept.  Should a person who has an interest in first person shooters automatically be able to enjoy Bloodborne?  What if they do not like third petson or melee style combat?  Are they wrong for feeling disconnected from Bloodborne?  Same concept my friend.
