It has to do with the fact that we can't admit we enjoy what we enjoy for mundane reasons. It's okay to enjoy a bland open world with nothing to do like Forspoken or checklist open worlds like AC Valhalla. They're mediocre sure but no fan admits this because this means they enjoy mediocrity and that is an unacceptable thought, so self preservation kicks in and you get a less than polite reaction.

This isn't limited to games either, it applies to practically everything. I had a decent time with the Uncharted movie, it was absolute garbage, but I had a decent time nonetheless cause it was mindless fun. However I'd never recommend it to anyone cause I know it's like a 2/10 at best and is a waste of time. It's just that I personally on that day, didn't mind the movie being braindead and can accept that it was garbage that I had fun with.

Why would it be weird? It's a role playing game, your character is playing a role. Now elden ring is a weird game to roleplay as a dishwasher in but - just kidding!!

But seriously yeah I've made male and female characters depending on the mood. I think it's weirder to try snd create a clone of yourself personally. I try to create a character I feel would fit into the existing lore of the game

It is the spiritual successor of system shock 2.

which is known to be action role playing survival horror game, and a landmark in video gaming history.

Also the reason why google lists as such.

You're right it isn't known or marketed like that, and it's also the reason why I posted it.

Because not a lot of people know about this.

As a woman and a gamer, I don’t find it odd or weird. It’s a game, the point is to have fun while playing. You don’t have to mimic real life. Playing as a male or female shouldn’t have anything to do with one’s sexuality. Everyone is different and has different gaming preferences. Just do what you enjoy regardless of how others feel.

for me it depends on roll play. im a guy so normally i lean towards male characters but for games like swtor it feels wrong playing a jedi healer or a sith sorc as a male so i almost always play those females. but as far as weirdness. i dont think its weird and i have friends that do the same thing.
