All my WoW alts were female because my then-girlfriend thought dudes were giving her all kinds of stuff because she was such a good healer. I made a level 1 and undressed on the Orgrimmar mailbox, and made more gold than her main had in like 10 minutes. Sleeping on the couch was so worth it.

I got a load of grief for playing Fortnite as Penny, mainly from a family friend who kept banging on about “oh look, that’s his type there!”
I’m like motherfucker she’s British and she’s an engineer so I’m choosing to play as her, not because what’s between the legs you fucking buffoon
If she’s starting popping off about just playing Fortnite I’d have been “yeah fair enough mate, maybe I am a shithead” but the whole implied “you’re a guy so you must fancy her if you’re using a girl model” just really got on my tits… to use a poorly timed expression.

I only ever played beta Fortnite, so I don’t really know who we’re talking about, but I thought all of the characters were generic, I didn’t know there were classes.

It’s been a while since I played, I only get involved in the live events these days.
I don’t think there are classes in Battle Royale, but Save the World had different “classes” in the loosest sense.

I play guitar hero as Casey Lynch. I figure why play as who you look like when you can play as who you want to look at?
If I were going for accuracy to body type, I’d have to pick Lars Umlaut…
