honestly when i was a kid i always picked male characters (despite being afab) because "the clothes looked better", fast forward a couple of years, i transitioned to male and i realised i used video games as my main escape from worsening gender dysphoria

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.

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

To make it less boring, what we need to normalize is men's clothing in more shapes and multi color patterns.

also some minor mental illnesses

I don't like to call it "mental illnesses" because it makes it look like it's a property of the person; however, it is a property of society:
