There’s so much stuff that would feel weird and stereotype-y to see someone else do and think, “they must be trans!” but when I think back on myself doing them, my only thought is, “oh, so that’s what that was about.”

    Playing as a girl in vidya, I had the standard excuses soypoint-1butt soypoint-2, but they rang really hollow because it's was just something I was saying, I never actually sexualised the characters.

    Really solidified for me when I played games that didnt have a 3rd person mode, so there was literally no difference, but it just felt right, ya know.

      The butt excuse is so valid tho. Anita Gamergate's video on strategic butt coverings was so eye opening
