Edit: BAH! Seems I messed up on the poll options, the last one is supposed to be "Female Preferring To Play As Female". I tried to edit it but chances are it won't stick since poll-option edits don't normally stick. I apologize for this error.end edit
Edit I don't suppose a mod might have a reliable way of editing poll options? If so, could you please change the last option to reflect "Female Preferring To Play As Female"? If not, just throught I'd ask. end edit
With all the talk about sexism in the gaming industry, I felt like making this topic. The question is simple: when you're playing a game in which your character's gender is an option left to you, which do you prefer to play as? Male or Female?
Personally, I'm a male who almost always plays as a female. To me the thought of a strong female hero is just really enticing. For example, in Mass Effect, I've got about 9 FemShep's and only 2 MaleSheps. The thought that a woman is the hope of the galaxy, the most bad-ass space marine in history is really appealing. It seems to break the clichés of male protagonists being the badasses of the universe.
So my fellow Escapsists, I ask you simply: what gender do you prefer to play as and why do you prefer to play as that gender?
