I like ROLE playing, so I don't care about genders, races or classes.
Anything goes.
Anything goes.
People talking game preferences, or even things that turn them on/off, are not talking about how they treat/approach women or gay people in real life.As the haze of ‘not me’ moral posturing from the ‘scaring females away’ clears, it is actually refreshing to have the misogynists and homophobes come here and declare themselves so boldly.
Of course, I would have been much happier being wrong …

‘It does not feel right for me to be engaged in a scene where I’d have to accept the flirts or touches, sexual gaze, whatever, of someone of the same sex’, is not what someone makes a homophobe. Irl life that person could have said to a gay person that was showing interested: ‘Hey guy, thanks for the compliment but
I am heterosexual, sorry, try your luck with someone else’. Or do you think when someone is coming on to you, you just can’t say no? And have to accept whatever they started doing?
In a game it is more difficult to draw that line yourself because you are stuck in a fixed script, written by someone else.
I know all too well because many thing Geralt did, he was mentioned in this thread here earlier, were not to my liking but I could not stop it from happening, it just went on and on, or again and again. Which only aggravated my frustration.
Liking to look a the behind of a virtual character does not make you a misogynist.
I like seeing a tiny, firm man’s butt. Now I am a misandrist?
Men and women are creatures that are triggered by what they see, what they hear, what they smell. What is attractive to one, is appalling to another.
All I can say is you, apparently, are triggered by other things in a game than some male members describe here. It might well be you don’t care at all what you are looking at or who is trying to flirt with you (and how?), because ‘it is just a game’ - others like to forget about the real world for a moment and live their fantasy.
Getting every attractive woman in your bed is a fantasy to some.
Having an ugly man using women who are like me, who could be me, could not be further from the fantasy I like to play.
And to others it is just a game, they simply wish to score all those cards, f*** morals, f*** fantasy, the best result, that is what counts.
Based on what I’ve read here and the TOS I don’t see reason to step in and deal with those you describe as homophobes or misogynist.
Based on what I have read in this thread I don’t see reason for you to accuse people of homophobia or misogeny. So change your tune.
If you want to talk about homophobia or misogeny in general: P&R is the place.
My approach is this: If it's a third-person camera, and you have to spend 40 hours looking at the main character's backside, you may as well make it a backside worth looking at.
Thanks.For the love of god, Thank you. I could not have put it so eloquently and am glad I didn’t try.
Why is this such a thing? Y'all need to adjust your camera angles a little higher up.
Nah, they'll just need to realise games should be played in either first person or or some kind of top down view. Even CDPR has finally understood it!
Are you trying to start another game mechanics war?
For my part, third person makes a lot of sense in a lot of games (mostly ones where you're rolling around, scaling walls, jumping, that sort of thing), but Cyberpunk 2077 makes no sense in 3rd person so I'm glad they're doing it in 1st. I'm sure if another Witcher universe game comes out down the road, it'll be 3rd person again.
Nah, I was just baiting. I agree with you on when 3rd person makes more sense. Although I'll never consider rolling a good mechanic.

First off, it was a joke. But what made me start thinking about that was this: I used to like playing games with a third-person camera zoomed out for better situational awareness. And then one day I played Oblivion, created a male Redguard, and then laughed out loud at the effeminate walking animation. After that, I started playing Bethesda games in first-person.Why is this such a thing? Y'all need to adjust your camera angles a little higher up.

I responded to your comment because it was recent, but you were about the fourth or fifth person who referenced playing female characters in 3rd person games because "I may as well stare at a woman's butt if I'm going to have to stare at someone's."
I only play as female unless male is the only choice.
