Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.

Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?

I wanna experience what it’s like to have less rights

How many games make beings behave differently around females than males?
I've played lots of different games and I don't recall my lady characters having less rights in any of them.

I think it's easier to find different gender behavior towards your characters in tabletop or text roleplaying games, where the player has much more freedom over their characters, NPC's and the world around them than over videogames people have coded to behave in a certain way and a certain way only.

@Damaskox @taanegl that's weird. That is a weird thought to have

I was being stupid and trollish, as a reference to "gamer moments" outside of using the "gamer word". He was taking gameplay mechanics into consideration. In essence something good came out of some stupid, which is great, because usually nothing good comes from that form of stupid.

@taanegl I may be too drunk for that to make sense. I will try again tomorrow.

I was a popular troll on this one server and one time I RPed as a girl and WOW my voice changer must have been good because I got SO much mysogyny. Needless to say that experience made me feel not even remotely bad when I ended up getting the place shut down later.
