This maybe. I did play as female for one of my characters in The Old Republic mmo cause it's got cut scenes and voice acting and I preferred the female voice actor

I dont use character creation to project myself.

I create an actual character. And typically, most games follow a guy. So playing as the girl character is usually more interesting due to rarity.

They typically have better cosmetic options too.

In Pokmon I'll pick one version to play as a boy (usually the "blue" version) and one to play as a girl (usually the "red" version).

In RPGs it can introduce unique dialogue and quests.

But I've never had a problem playing as a girl.

Also sometimes you just want to have a cute female avatar to play as instead of some generic af boring ass white dude

I almost always play as a female character when given a choice for a few different reasons.

Of course, there's always the old standby for 3rd-person games that it's more enjoyable to stare at a female ass for 60 hours. But I also find it amusing to see a tiny woman wielding massive greatswords and shields the size of a door. Like it's relatively impressive when you have a giant buff dude running around roflstomping enemies, but it's even more amusing when you're the smallest character on the battlefield and you're doing that.

Also, in my experience, female voice acting is almost invariably better than the male voice acting. Just look at FemShep.

Customization is fun, and most of the time, the female has better and a larger variety of options available.

Also, it's refreshing to play as a female sometimes, especially in a setting where it's usually a guy taking charge (such as Saints Row IV).

Sometimes the art style of a game just looks better if it's a female character. In WoW, for instance, they like to give males of various races this dumb fucking hunch. Women, on the other hand, have to look sexy, so they don't have that dumb hunch. Or Saint's Row 3 where I hated all of the male voices for the protagonist but there was a cool Russian female one.

IIRC it was just a rumor, but in Pokemon Crystal I remember kids always talking about how the female character would make pokemon eggs hatch faster or something. So I mean, that's something.

If you'e gonna be playing the whole game staring at the character you created, wouldn't you rather it be a hot girl instead of a dude that looks like you?

You thought this was a gotcha but failed to realize the boy is also 10.

So there is no right choice other than to not play pokemon if you are like you tc and find it weird.

To answer the op, you play the game to play the game. Boy or girl, is inconsequential.

This even though I've yet to play as a girl. Sword and shield in particular are bad about it in the sense that some of the outfits have a design on the back of the shirt or jacket that can't be seen because the damn bookbag is too large for it to even be seen.

And the female avatars can wear leggings or skinny jeans or whatever and it'll look fine. On males it looks horrible however. And they get a category or 2 added on in both dresses and skirts with no comparable category for the men being offered at all. And the hair as a whole is better. As a black guy, my man has 2 options and that's either a fade or cornrows and they both kind of suck tbh, but women? It can be up or down, short or long, ponytail or bun or flowing in the wind or whatever and it'll look "correct".

This is primarily why I do it usually. I grew up at a time where "manly men male action heroes" were drilled into my brain by the media so I just find it amusing and humorous to see a tiny woman wielding something like a massive zweihander in Dark Souls, as an example.

It doesn't matter. I said I sometimes want to play as characters who don't look like me, so why do you care so much whether it's a boy who doesn't look like me, or a girl who doesn't look like me. Either way I'm not obligated to make my character look like me

This is my eternal issue with character creation games. I am actually jealous of the dudes who say they can make avatars that sort of look like theirselves....vast majority of the time, "black" options in character creation games is straight up booty butt-cheeks. I have seen japanese and korean mmo games with better hairstyles and faces for people of other races. *Monster hunter world iceborne definitely stepping up in this department*
