I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious. The reason why I’m asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I’m just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

    They “don’t seem right”? How so?

    It feels to me like robbing the character of her agency (yeah, it’s a program that doesn’t really have agency). And it seems too similar, to me, to “she just needs the right man” sort of thinking, which is just tiresome.

    Let me guess, but it’s ok if people make panam romance females, right?

    You do you. I’m not judging. Just stating how experience it myself. I’d not do that myself with Panam because her dialog when flirting with her as femme V makes clear that she’s not into women.

      Ah. Well, at least you aren’t a hypocrit? I’ve seen people get pissed that a mod on nexus made judy romanceable for male v, which nexus removed, but then were totally cool with the mod that lets female v romance panam (which, last I checked, was still up a while back). I don’t really think it’s a bad thing at all, you can’t rob pixels of their agency, because they are not people, and the folks who judge those of us who romance judy as males sound just plain silly to me about how bad it is. I don’t see this “she just needs the right man” thinking you mention. I separate that stuff from my videogames, and I simply play how I want.
