Males Who Play Female Characters

[littleking]

yo my female draenei is the sex

but tbh i picked her because the males look stupid by comparison

[Diosx]

I play females because the char is my toy, not my personification.

Alliance has better females, Horde has better males.

rly ? because i play horde and all my toons are females . I find none of the male models , fighting animations , idle animations even remotely good

female tauren ftw

I play the gender I think looks the best. Right now I have most female characters, because the male ones are ugly, in my opinion. I used to only have male characters (some years ago), for the same reason as you. I thought it would be weird and wrong to be female. Also, I don't think you're supposed to make a character that looks the most like the real you. Atleast that's how I see it.

Inb4 the old and lame "because I don't wanna stare at dudes ass when I play"

[Porcell]

I can't bring myself to do it for some reason. It'd feel really out of place.
If this is your reason, then that speaks to your shallowness as a person.

Line 2, meet Line 1.

All my melee and tank toons are male, and my healers are female. My casters are a mix (male gnome warlock, but female human mage).

They are just characters.

I play a Tauren Female Druid, but I always forget that it's a female because of Moonkin form, and generally it's a cow for pete's sake. Else I can follow you, I don't play any other female characters than that one, I think males look the coolest generally, mostly because I'm a warrior's guy, the Druid I mentioned is my only non-melee high lvled class, and I'm not very comfortable with playing a Balance Druid anyways. I do understand some peope might prefer playing a female over a male character, but that's just not me.

I prefer their animations and males are often fairly bulky, I prefer smaller weapons and I can't stand enormous shoulders. I don't mind playing male characters if they still appear slim and agile but I prefer female thief types, agility over strength and what have you. It's not like I roleplay or anything.

[Fabled]

Because the animations for most abilities tend to look better on a female character imho. Of course that point is void when it comes to a melee class human female, makes me want to kick a puppy whenever I see one with a 2h three times the size of said human swinging it in circles.

I do occasionally wonder why males choose to roll female toons. But then I remember that most people play zoomed out to maxcamdistance and it doesn't seem to matter what gender your pixel blob is.

[Laqweeta]

What I don't understand are all the players that chose non human toons.

Do they want to be a gnome or something? Do they want to have sex with a space goat?

I mean, why would you want to give people the idea that you are an Orc when you're not IRL? That's misleading....

This is a fantasy game, not a real life simulator. I don't get why people would want to choose "Humans" In a Fantasy game, it doesn't make a bit of sense to me. :/

[Woceip]

Aesthetics are everything and in all honesty the majority of female characters look better in their gear.

This isn't a veiled sexuality thing which is where I think the OP is trying to go, if you are going to spend hours behind a particular character you are best off being happy with what it looks like.

Pretty much sums up what I was going to add. If you like what you're looking at, then that's the bottom line.

So you are agreeing with bot?

[Deleted]

Both. If I already got a character which is a Human because I want the racial for example, and I wanted a second Human for the racial, then if the first was male then the second would be female. I like variety.

I see what you did there.

[xindykawai]

how about female who play male character ?

[sp13]

I play a pretty even mix of male and female toons. The two real reasons I'll roll female are 1. looks and animations for the class, and 2. diversity among my characters. If I already have a male (or female) of that race, then I'll probably roll the opposite. There are a couple exceptions to this, though, such as i don't like troll males in general, or BE males as casters because of their casting animation.

Do you play a female toon? If so, why? I can't bring myself to do it for some reason. It'd feel really out of place.
Also, I can't possibly be the only one who thinks the "But I don't wanna stare at a guy's ass all day!" excuse is preposterous. If this is your reason, then that speaks to your shallowness as a person.

Those sentances killed your whole argument. It would feel out of place, yet the excuse you mentioned is shallow? I hope you understand what I'm trying to point at...

I play females because they usually aren't as clunky as males. They got a certain elegance in them.
