Because of all the funni.

Technically, you're always seeing you own nose, so you're always staring a man. The least gay thing for a man is to become a woman. But then looking at other women would be gay so you have to look at other men. As a man I safe myself some trouble and skip the first step and just look at beautiful sexy men all day, because I'm not gay.
At least this Zelda guy seems to be a good fella.
Solid Snakes cheeks be clapping.
What the Witcher games do really well is having female protagonists but not necessarily a female playable character. All the Witcher games aren't about Geralt per se, but about Triss, Yenneffer, Shani, Adda, etc. but most importantly Cirilla, she's the pivot point of all the games. Geralt is essentially just a vessel for the player to guide us through a world that is much bigger than him filled with drawn out characters of which most important ones happen to be women.

Oh Ciri will definitely have women to romance.
The problem is that people up top don't even have a concept understanding of 'nothing to lose' because they always had something. Money, family, opportunities, reputation, they don't understand what it feels to truly have nothing but your body, and even then they want to take that away from you too. There's a difference between dying alone from untreated, unmedicated cancer in your cold apartment or making your voice be heard and being throw into jail. What are court fees other than a drop in a overflowing bucket of medical dept for a terminally ill person? Terminal not by nature but by denial of proper care. The US really needs a constitutional amendment that protects basic human rights of Nourishment, Shelter, Warmth, Sleep, Health and Social Interaction from capitalistic exploitation.
Even The Witcher itself. You might not play as a woman, but seriously, the women are definitely the shining stars of the series.
The duality of men.
You play as a female character and see her as your companion.
I play female characters because I like to control women.
We are not the same. /s
I just hit random, because nobody gets to choose their appearance, no even our characters.
