All's fair in love and War (craft)
Has anyone accused someone of being a misogynist yet?
I`m sure somebody will.
I`m sure somebody will.
I have a male CMDR on one account and a female one on the other. But then, the female CMDR is based on a character from a story I wrote - she's not meant to reflect me. For that matter, neither is the male CMDR. They are both their own people, with their own stories, in my head.
I'm still waiting for someone to be equally outraged by me making a guy holo-me on my 2nd account.
Kinda telling that no-one bats an eyelid there.

My pitchfork is at the repair shop getting a new handle fitted. How does next week work for you?
That`s because women are always trying to copy men. No one`s surprised. Don`t you know anything about female nature?
Tuesday good for you?
If not, have your people contact my people and we'll pencil in a suitable date and time.

Obviously not.
I bow to your superior manly knowledge and ask if you could spare some of your precious manly time to teach this weak-minded, inferior woman the intricacies and foibles of female nature.
Or maybe because everyone is like Klinger from MASH:
So you're saying they're all vying for a Section 8?

With the fed navy? Definite maybe. And glad someone gets the reference. Despite the fact that I am probably too young to be making it.
How does it matter?
I find it more intriguing that OP seems to be surprised or want to read something into it, than the "duh" that most people don't limit their game characters and movie protagonists to IRL-copies.
There are no office-workers in Skyrim (though now that I think about it, maybe a video game about fighting-dragons-with-paperwork could actually work?

Actually it tends to be another woman, and in the story I'm writing, the main character wears the pants so to speak. I forgot to include that detail. And the rough backstory is also because my life hasn't exactly been all sunshine and rainbows, so it's easier for me to think of a character's life being rough is all. Plus I have seen a therapist, though for social anxiety (from bullying), and she saw nothing wrong with that idea.
Edit: to expand a bit on the messed up character thing, I'm sure you've heard of a concept called "write what you know". Well, I know what it's like to have your life suck, so it comes easily to me to write that (also, as my therapist pointed out, it's also kind of therapeutic writing about people with lives that sucked, and having them, find happiness down the road).

Misconceptions: My handle here is Cmdr Cody, My name is not Cody, and I was making a reference to a rock & roll band called Commander Cody & the lost planet airmen. It has nothing to do with me.
A lot of the women folk I know that game, play male, so not to get hit on for as long as the are online.
Some men would rather watch a girls behind for hours than a guys. Funny how human nature is.
I play both, and who I am is irrelevant.
After all, its only a game
Guess the take-away from your post is that 1. you want guys watching your pretend butt, or 2. you want to be hit on... by other guys. Hmmm. Oh yeah, it's only a game... wink wink

Cuz reasons.....
Call it what you want - I think ever since screens existed a lot of people like to look at females on them, and for the sake of forum rules let's not take this any further.
I like to look at women on my screen, more so than men. That applies to games as well. I'm sure a lot of players would be female Witchers if they had the chance. I agree that it has more use in third-person games but there are third-person cameras in Elite as well so in this regard it's the same. During gameplay I don't have any problems looking down and seeing female hands as my character. I've played all recent Elder Scrolls games as females and they're first-person too. I just don't make that connection between "me" and the game world. I still feel like "me" but I rather control/look at a female.That said, I still use a male pilot here, based on my own face. What I would find more weird is to create a random guy and look at him. Too bad we can't save our characters, I'm sure everyone would experiment more with Holo-Me.
At the end of the day I think the weirdest thing can happen in multi-crew, where you see a female who talks in a male voice. To a degree I can accept that it could be off-putting. But then again, this is just a game and not a dating site. It's not mandatory that everyone has to be themselves.

And in Star Trek Discovery, this woman's character is Michael.
By the way, my real name isn't Spock, in case it confuses anybody. Also, being half Kashmiri, I don't really look much like him either. Neither does my character's avatar. And my second account is female. I decided on that when I bought it.
