/r/egg_irl is literally a mental illness cultivator. I saw a post a couple days ago "Have you ever played a video game character of the opposite sex? Then you're probably trans and just don't realize it yet!" with 100 comments in strong agreement and no opposing comments.

Yeah, that sub got me. I feel so dumb for falling for it.

I started playing male chars on MMORPGs because it protected me from rape threats I was getting when I played as a female character...

Sweet zombie jesus, lolz. I'm a gamer, who is also a frumpy middle-aged mom of teens and proud of it. I always play a sexy-santa type male (and yes the Witcher 3 was the best game evermade) because that is what I want to look at. Husband always plays a female. Guess we're an ultimate trans power couple now.

A man who plays female characters married to a woman who plays male characters? Welcome to the queer(tm) community! Please get your updated pride flag (now including the trans flag shoving itself into the rainbow) at the door. Feel free to act as superior to those "cishets" as you desire. Enjoy your stay.

jfc, are you shitting me? I've been playing mostly male characters since i started playing video games. I'm also REALLY gnc. And you know what that makes me? A woman, just like every other woman. Different in my own way, but still the same.

and, you know good and well that you can't offer any opposing opinion.
