honestly when i was a kid i always picked male characters (despite being afab) because “the clothes looked better”, fast forward a couple of years, i transitioned to male and i realised i used video games as my main escape from worsening gender dysphoria
I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It’s funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.
“Obviously I couldn’t dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game…”
Girls just have better clothes in general. I like clothes shopping with my daughter all the outfits and dresses are so cute and fun, theres so much variety! Clothes shopping for my son is such a bore :/
For reference I am dad, and theyre both in elementary school.

It’s sort of like The Button thought experiment.
same as an amab I always used to play women cause they got better clothes. I am not trans tho, I mean probably not.

Men’s clothing has better pockets tho. We need to normalize big pockets on all clothing. Also normalize pink men’s clothing to make it less boring
