Musings on #gender and mind uploads, or purely digital persons, as one does.@TazPoltorak @pseudonym right? One could create a character with the same physique - therefore the same skeleton regarding animations - and even voice, but still, I assume, one would pick the female avatar.

Musings on #gender and mind uploads, or purely digital persons, as one does.@pseudonym I honestly think that (maybe absurdly so when looking at transphobic ppl) cis folks would not only appreciate the option, but actively enjoy it.
There's this mythos that hetero cis males create female avatars in videogames to have a 24/7 view on da booty. Thats BS imo or at least doesn't reflect my own experience, nor the experience of friends that I talked to: the absolute majority reported, that they can >feel< like a fierce (or soft/cute) female character.
So whatever constitutes >feel< in that regard, its as if there is some sort of longing, not only towards the object, but >to be< that object.
To me thats fascinating.

I’ve been really burned out of modern gaming for a few years now.@v_perjorative @SecurityWriter funnily enough I seem to care more and more about Hz and fps, in order to mitigate my growing loss of reflexes.
