I always played as a girl cause I subconsciously wanted to look like me.

I think that’s true for everyone who isn’t cis though?

    I was extremely aware that I was supposed to pick the guy character so I always did, but for some reason it was always a nice surprise to find out that the game I'm playing had a female protagonist

    I really dislike self insert because I'm not a big fan of myself in general lol. The only time I try to make a character even vaguely look like myself is when I'm playing with online friends who don't actually know what I look like. Irl friends in multiplayer games either get to see my best Picasso impression or whatever joke is dinking around in the ol brain tank in the moment. But for people who may never see me in person, that's when I try to make a character look like me. Any single player game where I create a character, I want to be as far away from my own reality as possible so I often randomize until I have something interesting and modify from there or I spend hours making someone I have never seen before in my life but could conceivably exist.
