!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Is it really like that for you? Does the same thing happen with books, movies, TV? Should they have an “option”?

It is like that for me and they don't need to have that option, that's unrealistic to expect. You can't choose anything in a book or movie. It just becomes something that "isn't for me" which is fine. Not everything has to be my taste. I was simply explaining why it had nothing to do with hating ciri for some people.

One of the best things about art is it can help to share what others experience; it gives us an opportunity to “walk in someone else’s shoes”. I think this can lead to more empathy in a world sorely lacking in it.

I don’t get you at all but fair fucks to you being civil about the matter. You got a lot of hate on here while simply stating a preference that you unfortunately share with a bunch of incel neckbeards.

I’m the other way, interestingly. I like playing a woman as a protagonist. Not because I’ll lust over them or anything, it’s simply more enjoyable.

I appreciate that. I just see it as the typical "people love to attack others online" and I have no desire to try to insult people even if they're telling me liking chocolate over vanilla is wrong and I'm an asshole for it lol only I know myself, and I know there's no hatred or misogyny behind my preferences.
