Who said you can't immerse yourself when playing with the opposite gender? : memes

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 3 months ago

Exactly! The fact I'm taking oestrogen and wearing pretty clothes is totally unrelated. Still cis BTW.

For me it's not even about gender identity or role playing. If I'm going to spend 200 hours in a 3rd person RPG looking at a character's ass, that ass had better be female.

Isn't skyrim FP though?

[–] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Skyrim can be played as either, though I personally do prefer 1st person in the case of Skyrim. I specifically said '3rd person RPG' because the point I was making wasn't limited to just Skyrim, and anything played 3rd person is obviously where it's important to my experience of, ah... the game. Yes, totally of the game.

“Everyone that has ever even thought about roleplaying as a different gender is secretly closeted trans” is one of my least favorite takes of all time.

Gender is bullshit! Try shit! It’s a perfectly healthy and normal thing everyone should be comfortable with, don’t make it into a thing.

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Gender is not bullshit, gender is real and trans people are real. Stop spreading stupid anti-trans rhetoric. People who feel and express a certain gender are more likely to be that gender, even if that gender doesn't align with their assigned gender at birth.

“me not being able to label anyone that breathes funny as a closeted trans person is anti-trans rhetoric” is certainly one of the takes of all time.

It’s the exact same shit as “teehee they’re intelligent they must be autistic” or “oh you organize your socks you must have adhd/ocd”. It’s not suddenly okay to assume shit about people when it’s that they’re not cis/neurotypical.

Gender is whatever the fuck any individual wants it to be for them. I like how that other commentor described it, gender anarchy.

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Being trans isn't a choice and our society already stigmatizes being trans so people deny it or won't accept it and make up dumb excuses to not accept the fact they are a trans girl. But people need to come out because being closeted isn't healthy, and the sooner the better. Why are you so against trans people coming out and accepting themselves as trans?

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

People can do whatever the fuck they want, to themselves. You don’t get to tell them what they are or aren’t. There is nothing different between calling a stranger an egg and telling someone you don’t believe they’re really trans.

Anyways, this conversation will clearly never go anywhere productive. I hope your real world day goes better.

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 0 points 3 months ago

No, there is a big difference between trying to help someone discover themselves and denying a person's gender identity. To argue that they are the same is Transphobic TERF garbage meant to spread the idea that being trans is wrong or abnormal.

You are right to acknowledge that this will never be productive. Arguing with TERFs rarely is.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, this sort of shit has gotten under my skin since identity stuff started exploding into public discourse.

If gender is a construct, why the fuck are we still using traditionally masculine and feminine actions/interests to prescribe identity? What gives anyone the right to prescribe someone else's identity?

[–] ArtemisimetrA@lemmy.duck.cafe 1 points 3 months ago

And this is why I call myself a gender anarchist

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because gender is not a construct you stupid TERF, gender is real and trans people are real. Get that through your thick head.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

Is this the rare non-binary hating but trans supportive individual? I don’t get it.

Gender being a construct doesn’t mean you can’t willingly put yourself into that pre constructed idea, you can be whatever you like. It’s prescribing it to others that’s fucked up.

Regardless, nobody as angry as you has ever convinced anyone of anything, nor will anyone ever convince you of anything. I’m sure the world is harsh towards you, and I’m sorry you feel the need to match that energy.

I think both are valid you know? If you want to just make a cool looking character or go for some aesthetic then do it, but people (such as my sister) I think get a certain excitement from envisioning themselves casting spells etc.

Female V has such an amazing voice oh my god. Not like every other voice actor in the game isn't an absolute genius, but man does she hits the mark all the time

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Since the dawn of gaming I always picked the more aesthetic choice, which mostly is the female choice. Never cared about the "u play woman? U gay!" Idiots...

[–] Prok@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

I never understood how me preferring to look at a female figure while playing a game was ever something to question...
