Everyone goes along with it too. I remember a post on that sub where a transwoman was talking about refusing to play any male characters in a certain game even if switching would benefit the team. The commenters were supportive of this, while I'm 100% certain they would have shred a "cis" man to pieces over deciding he refused to play any female characters.

My guy (straight as far as I know) is one that will play the woman character over the man if given an option. He said female voice actors were usually better. I think maybe watching a ladies' behind comes into play too lol

I can add to this. So there is a game called Asassins Creed:Odyssey where they wrote the game for a female character and started early production for a female character but Ubisoft higher ups forced them to give the option to play as a man because they were scared of how a female lead AC game would sell. So the male character got retconned in and is much worse in terms of acting and writing.

Not exactly a "team player", is he?
