For those of you into video games, do you always create a female avatar for your character? I realized recently that in the games I play the most (Starfield, PUBG, and Forza Horizon 5) I created a female avatar.. and the last time I made a male avatar was for Grand Theft Auto 5 almost 10 years ago. If so, do you try and make the avatar look like you, or more like what you'd want to look like?

@cdkaylasnow Ji, I play Second Life which is amazing for creating a very feminine avatar. Also the "shopping" there is wonderful. So many female clothes and heels, makeup and the "avi" bodies are very lifelike.

@cdkaylasnow Great topic for me. I have always lived my CD tendencies thru games when possible. If there are alot of clothing options that allow cross dressing as some only have male clothes for male characters I often start male and see how female I can make them look. but when clothing is gender based I do female and always try to make them as hot as possible.  if they allow mods then it gets really fun.  I have a big issue with 3rd person male characters as all you do is look at a male butt for hours then I do female as well on those.  except again if there are cross dressing options and its worth it. some games just dont put much into characters looks to make it worth it.  Cheers RC

For a couple of reasons, I can only play one genre of games - racing sims, but not on Xbox - therefore I choose non-gendered avatar images. I don't consciously pay much attention to the avatars of others, really.

@harriette you've piqued my interest... Why can you only play racing sims? Are you a famous race car driver by chance? 😉

@cdkaylasnow Ah, yes. My famous racing career. 🤪

When I started playing, I only used the hand controller. After about one year I had crushed the radial nerve in my right thumb while using the pressure sensitive buttons. If I wanted to continue playing, I had to start using a different kind of controller - a wheel. If I try to use a controller now, I may last 15 minutes before it becomes too painful, then I can't use it for about another year.

@harriette I mostly play games on my PC, but I've got an Xbox controller hooked up to it that I use for some games. Oddly enough, I'm actually better at most racing games using a controller over a wheel... But then again I've never had a really good sim setup and was using an old Xbox 360 force feedback wheel for a while. And you'd actually be surprised about people turning racing sims into a career! William Byron and Rajah Caruth both started on racing sims before ending up in NASCAR

@vecca Sure, but on a console, it is only useful for text. I never play games on a modern PC.

Always, have done for years. I often use my femme headshot too when a game calls for a pictorial avatar (CS2 for example) and I always choose in-game characters that are women; in Cyberpunk 2077 for example, I've never played as a man. I also use my femme headshot and my feminine name on chess.com as people hate to be beaten by a woman (not that I win many games, my rating is only 850ish).

@rebeccabaxter Cyberpunk 2077 was a good one to be female.

I love playing video games! I'm usually a retro gamer, but yes, I have created female avatars. I like to give my avatar a sexy model look, just like me. I "revel" in it. 😊

@revel I can see you modeling for an avatar preset based on your profile picture.

I didn’t always but I do now all the time. The first time I chose a girl character was because I didn’t like the boy design as much as the girl and I have never looked back. As for the look, I try to make her look similar to me with glasses and hair color

I've never been much of a video gamer, but back when I did a bit of Dungeons & Dragons at Uni in the late 80's I normally played as a female character.

@finallyfiona Nice. I have never played D&D board games, but I sure loved the 80s D&D animated series. I still love it to this day. ❤️

I get to be a beautiful, fit, stunner in the Fallout games! I play games (and dress) to get some relief from the normal, boring reality. If I can play as the lady I'd like to see in the mirror when I get a chance to dress full-out, I jump in with like an Olympic women's swimmer. Without the cap, you have to let the hair be a statement.

@vecca Why do most games not let you look in a mirror especially FP ones.  Sometimes that seems deliberate.

A lot of the games I like to play your avatar is not seen or is designed to be gender neutral (i.e. in a space suit) but as I have grown my hair out (enough that I have to put it in a bun for work) most games don’t have male avatars with long hair so I have to use a female one.  This way I can make one look kind like me, but femme without question from my SO. 😋

@jane2024 "Sitting here with my hair in a tail while working"   Before my wife knew about my CD stuff and  if im playing 3rd person and you stare at the back end of your character for hours.  I prefer to stare at a femal character then some guys butt. lol. she completely understood that and it was honest even though there was a secondary motive that I kept to myself 😉 .

Almost always. Female avatars almost always have better clothing options that it is honestly ridiculous. Occasionally a few male avatars do a good job of having a good hook, but always the clothing options and customization options always strike me that women just have it better.
