Says the thirty year old plus man using a female child as an avatar! I am more specically destirbed by the ones using children.

I'm more disturbed by people who get disturbed when they see other people using cartoon characters of kids as avatars.
At 128 years old, I would think you would be over that :p

You probably are unaware, but me and rols online friendship mostly relates to insulting one another. If I am correct from what he said years ago he is about 32 and I am almost thirty. We fuck around because that is what we do in the NFL threads and beyond. All in good fun mostly. You disturb me too, but seriously having a female child or male child at that age for an avatar is pretty creepy!!!!

Haha figures. But creepy? My kids are 2 and 5, most of the day I spend with cartoon characters. They made kid versions of every cartoon I grew up with... I'm glad my kids love Ghibli as much as I do, to stick that on when I can't take special agent oso or the neverland pirates or mickey mouse clubhouse argh anymore. I could use my driver's license picture, now that would be creepy!

Maybe I'm too innocent to see which ones are hentai related :p

i've always kind of thought the existance of gamers of the A variant was part of why first person shooters are soo popular.

i personally like character driven games.  i'd rather play a third person shooter than a first person shooter.  i like cinematic games a lot.  i've played though games where i didn't like the gameplay but i loved the story.  i find character editors to be a chore,.. i click female and then random until i like one enough.  basically, i feel like my B status affects my choices in the games i choose to play and enjoy.

..so i got to figure that A gamers do the same.  first person shooters as those have better "immersion".  probably online multiplayer because there is no story to get bored by.   games like skyrim and fallout too, the western RPGs instead of the jrpgs.  games with fantastic character editors.  there are people that love these things.  basically all the genres and features that i hate.

You have a good point there. Games with a good story and fleshed out characters appeal more to me as well. When they let you define your own character, like Mass effect for example, I always run into conversation trees where I don't like any of the options given. While in Dragon Age origins you're limited to just as many choices, yet I have less issues with it playing as pre-defined characters. (Their back story anyway)

Don't worry. Everything is hentai related. Whatever female character exists, you can be sure that someone on this earth made a hentai Dōjinshi featuring said character. (Dōjinshi are fan made mangas.)



I like to play as female characters because i like the sound of female voices better than males. I dont want to listen to some dude the whole time I play



I'm sure it's been said already, but if I'm going to spent dozens of hours looking at an arse, I'd rather it be a woman's.

(Not that some men don't have great arses, just women have a higher average)

Jeez louise.  How do you take picking a female over a male because that's what someone would rather look at to mean they masturbate furiously and obsessively over said character?  Just given the choice I'd rather look at a girl, that's it.  


But why does it matter if you're looking at a girl or a guy? Personally I pay more attention to what's going on around my character, not the character itself...

Precisely my point... it doesn't matter.  And if it doesn't matter then why not pick the character I'd prefer to look at.


Yeah but what I'm talking about is people who pick female character specifically to ogle at them while they play, for example, there are games where you can pick a male or female character, and it will affect the story or gameplay, and the female is presented as a real woman, such as Claire Redfield, or even Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot... I'm completely fine with this, it doesn't bother me...

What DOES bother me, is games where you can create your own character, and people will select a female character, and make them look as whorish as possible with huge tits and arse and such, and as I said before, just ogle at them while they play, like animals or something... I mean sure, to each their own, but when people announce they do things like this as if it's completely fine and they're not messed in the head or some weird sex pest or whatever... yeah, it just creeps the fuck out of me. Same thing applies for those people that love watching that weird anime porn and stuff...

You're sterotyping this. Not all men will make the character "whore" like. I don't do it. Femshep's normal outfits and gear barely even show her skin. I use Kayle in LoL. She's compeletly covered. In Skyrim, my characters, both male and female wear realistic body armor and are strong. Since I pick nords. And that's how they're phsycially described as. Even though I had to mod the game to get them to look correct. Since Bethasa thought it was cute to describe a race that is not human, imposing people, can wield weapons that are very heavy. But in game, they're average height, and stick people. I find the female form pleasing to look at. But I don't make unbelevable proportions to breasts or ass.



I would never play as a girl. Thats just weird....

I tend to choose females when they're the cooler characters, which yeah, happens a lot in Mario Kart 8 (i'm basically done playing on a regular basis as of today, but i rotated from Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach, Morton, and Wario).

I did pick a female avatar in the newest Pokemon, but that was just because <3 Serena

Why wouldn't you rotate between Rosalina and Baby Rosalina? Pink Gold Peach is ok though.
