    Nah I only really play as girls to balance out getting seen as a “guy” so much IRL. Neither the “girl” build nor the “guy” build really have the kind of gameplay I’m looking for. What I really wanted to play as is something that makes people wonder which one I am. But when the random rolls in the character creator spit you out growing to 6’2" with a build like a fridge in a fursuit that build ain’t something you can really respec into. So I’m stuck with “Giant Dad” basically.

      I feel that vibe so hard.

      Getting gendered (at all sometimes) can feel like being stabbed with a fork dipped in sriracha. Worse when people reeeeally lean into it, for some god forsaken reason.

      Video games can be a pleasant temporary escape from that.

        Yeah, as a 6’3 skinny uterus haver, I’d love for an option to skip all the public restroom cutscenes irl, thanks!

      Big bitches are real and valid, if your physical shape is all that keeps you back.

      That being said there’s a lotta ways to be happy, so long as you find one that doesn’t hurt others that’s whats important.

        Oh they absolutely are. No my problem is that I’m nonbinary and with my particular flavor I don’t really want to be gendered as either. But with my build I feel like the only ways I really have a chance of being gendered are Bear Dad, Drag artist, and maybe a tall Soccer Mom depending on how well a hypothetical transition might go. None of those are bad, just as much as I don’t identify with being male the same goes for fully being seen as female too.

        So I figure at least for now if I’m gonna be uncomfortable I’ll take the devil I know, then I’ll affirm my identity in other ways that make me happy.
