Because the female character has a better design, is more aesthetically appealing given the context of the game, and I'm comfortable enough with my own masculinity to play as a character who's biological sex differs from my own.

The real question is why do you care? If all males were meant to choose the male and all females were meant to choose the female why even bother giving the choice?

>>29606613
>If all males were meant to choose the male and all females were meant to choose the female why even bother giving the choice?

Because the game obviously can't detect your sex when you boot it up you dolt.

It's a file someone else started, not going to restart just because its a girl

>>29606384
Fuck. I just remembered when my friend took my PSP when I wasn't looking and found my Project Diva Extend ISO. He started when he saw the preview movie.
A few years later his little sister became a Miku fan for some reason, and he started liking it, but he's a fag.
He also laughed when he saw that I nicknamed my Pokemon and that I was playing as the female character in Pokemon Ranger 3. Fuck you Steven

>>29606622
But if that were the case the game would ask for MY sex, it wouldn't let me choose between two characters.

Projecting means assuming something about the other person because it is true for you. In this case, the other anon is implying that you asked him why he lives with his parents because you live with your parents.

Because i played as a boy in my first run.

>>29606669
No.... it's a RPG.... the professor or trainer entrance exam is asking your character's gender. Nobody gives a shit if you're an IRL boy, why would the prof need to know that?

>>29606928
Thank you!

>>29606384
I have 6 games split as boy and girl equally

...
I prefer playing as the girls though
they're ckute

"Most of the time I'll buy both games in a pair, and play one as the boy and one as the girl. It's helpful because, at any point in the game, I can tell at a glance which one I'm playing.

And besides, with the customisation features, it's nice seeing all the clothing options. I shamelessly enjoy the dressing up."

Mainly just don't be a fucking sperg and you'll be fine. Who the fuck are you hanging out with that you can't talk to like a human? And surely you aren't playing it among people that you don't consider friends? I can't imagine a situation where you could possibly be embarassed by this question.

"Because she is cute."
Of course you say this after you've already turned your head towards the girl in question to establish a connection through eye contact. Then you check out her response. Women like it when you look them in the eyes and give them your undivided attention when talking to them. It's pretty intense for them too. Also saying what you said plus the intense eye contact might make her blush/get a little flustered - because you were so open about calling a cute girl cute in front of her (the effect is magnified if the girl thinks of herself as cute, which she likely does). Real life situations like this are actually pretty good when trying to charm a cute girl if you know what you are doing. No need to be a weirdo about it and panic haha

Why though? If I play a guy character, I don't stare at his ass. Or his crotch. Actually, I play the game. You know.. the game you made the character for. It's not a Stalking Someone On The Sidewalk Staring At Their Ass Simulator.

Most people outside of here won't assume you're playing as a girl because you want to masturbate to her.

>>29609085

>>29607386
In this particular context chances are she'll just find it creepy.
What you said isn't wrong for social interaction in general, but you're talking about a very young looking video game character.

Because I want to dress her up in cute clothes.

If you think saying "the design is better" makes people not judge you, you're sadly mistaken.

>>29609351
The only correct answer

>>29606498
That's your prove, if you can't talk to anyone without stuttering then you'll definitely look autistic

>>29610385
That makes zero sense and you know it. Its totally normal to prefer one design out if multiple

Its literally a completely different design. The difference between Dawn and Lucas is much more than small

Because I felt like it

>>29609539
I sense someone is a huge faggot that got schooled by /pol/.

>Because she looks cute
Yes, girls look cuter than guys. Are you going to do make up and dress as a girl in real life next, because girls look cuter?

>I don't want to look at a guy's ass
The character representing you is not there so you can look at his ass. Do you always look at your own crotch? If so, that means you are a faggot.

The only real reason for picking a girl would be if you either that you just don't care about the game, in which case you would just pick the cuter one, or you are a faggot.

>>29610448
>caring about some lame dance
yes, autism

>>29610957
But there the majority of people born and raised in similar conditions will react in similar fashion. This is especially true for kids.
If someone had seen me picking a girl, they would also judge me.

>>29610978
I didn't literally mean that. Of course I wouldn't break a friendship over a fucking game.

>>29611036
What if I'm roleplaying?

>>29611136
Hm, I was wrong. That is a perfectly acceptable answer.

>>29606384
Because I want more than 5 clothing options.

I used to tell people I randomly chose a character and it happened to be the girl and that I liked to think my OG character was traveling the regions. Then I eventually just chose the guy cause whatever.

>>29611041
following that same logic, does that mean that you'll use pokemon that you don't like because they are better competitively?
because that is a little more autistic than picking something because you like it.

>>29611351
>>29611351
>following that same logic, does that mean that you'll use pokemon that you don't like because they are better competitively?

Why would you not like it, then? Just because of its design? A Pokemon is more than just design.

I got Y when it came out and later bought X for cheap because some guy I knew was bored with it.
Picked the girl specifically because choosing the boy immensely fucks you out of customization options.

the only non autistic response to this is to shrug your shoulders and say 'why not'

Same. I don't get what the big deal is about wanting to look at a chick over a guy for 60 plus hours of gameplay. Also, they're fake characters, so giving it an age is just being a retard trying to turn a 3D model into a fantasy. The last girl who tried to embarrass me over my female character failed miserably after I said "I'd rather fuck a girl than a guy," and her other friend plus the people around us just laughed and agreed.
