    Ok if someone that plays videogames 24 hours a day told me in their 35 years of gaming they haven’t picked a character of the opposite gender once I would consider that odd too.

    Like it heavily implies sexism at this point.

      That’s a ridiculous assertion. It’s much more likely that such a person simply always want to self-insert as much as possible, and so they choose characters as close to them as they can when given the choice, each time.

        Yeah that’s fair.

        In my defense I was also imagining someone physically say “In my 35 years of gaming I have not picked a female character once!” in a conversation instead of them just not thinking much about it lmao.
