same as an amab I always used to play women cause they got better clothes. I am not trans tho, I mean probably not.

Girls just have better clothes in general. I like clothes shopping with my daughter all the outfits and dresses are so cute and fun, theres so much variety! Clothes shopping for my son is such a bore :/
For reference I am dad, and theyre both in elementary school.

Men’s clothing has better pockets tho. We need to normalize big pockets on all clothing. Also normalize pink men’s clothing to make it less boring

What we need to normalize is men’s clothing in more shapes and multi colors.

I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It’s funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.
“Obviously I couldn’t dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game…”
It’s sort of like The Button thought experiment.
