Can girls play videogames without being sexualised as an attractive gamer girl?

[rachiga]

I don't know i suppose I just want a confidence boost

[Madhatter920]

Yes, if they aren't actually attractive. Otherwise, no, you instead get hate and ridicule. It's a real damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of deal. But if you're just looking for lonely nerds to simp for you, that is certainly the easiest way to do it. And if you want lonely nerds to simp for you, but aren't confident that you'd be found attractive: Try vtubing. Accomplishes the same thing, but you don't have to show your face. You just get represented by a cartoon character and people love it. So, y'know. Options.

what is vtubinh?

[Madhatter920]

@Luvme66 Vtubers are people who use a program that creates an anime avatar for them. They are then represented by the avatar during their gameplay. The program tracks your movement and facial expressions, they projects them on to the anime avatar. So when you smile, the avatar smiles. When you speak, the avatar's mouth moves to match your words. If you'd like to see an example, just head over to youtube and search for "Gawr Gura."

wow i didn't know about that... thanks mate!

[rachiga]

Hmm i suppose.
The thing is that I am confused about my gender. I was born female but I am thinking now thta perhaps I am male in my head. I just came here to... maybye make things clearer. Because the thing is I really like video games. I just dont wish to be sexualised because I play them.

[Luvme66]

welll not my reply to answer but.. guys liking belle dont make them less of a man

[Madhatter920]

@rachiga In that case, I suggest you play, but without webcam. That alone will cut back on the sexualization quite a bit. And of course, do not stream. If you're just playing, even in multiplayer games, you shouldn't have much issue outside of the normal toxicity that everyone has to deal with. But if you're playing multiplayer games, the best thing you can do is find a group of people you like and do your best to play with them. That way you'll always have fun and not have to worry about toxicity at all.

[rachiga]

Thank you!

[Madhatter920]

No problem. Hope you have fun!

[Lunatic1]

[rachiga]

Well most gamer guys are loner and dont go out and socialize much and jack off every night to porn... they might never been in a relationship and dont even know how to talk to women... So they either simp on you or sexualize you.. Like well its what it is..

P. S. I know cause am a gamer myself and have seen act really weird sometimes

[rachiga]

Thanks for being honest. I guess gaming is just not for me. :')

[Luvme66]

hey it ain't like that... people are gonna always be weird... there will be a few that really awesome to play with.. like i have a few gamer friends who are female and play with other guys in a chill way... what i would suggestbis head over to instagram find gamer girls by using hashtags and ask them if you could join them... gaming is for everybody... and assholes are going to be there in every aspect of your life! glhf :)

[rachiga]

Ah.. haha thanks!
Maybye ill give it a go!

[hellacray]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Most gamer girls aren't like models or anything. Hell some are even more repulsive than gamer guys.

So I have no idea what you're talking about. Playing games doesn't automatically make you sexy.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Yes, unless you say you are a girl (or using voice chat) no one would notice.

[rachiga]

I don't know i guess I dont really want to have to hide my gender to be able to do something as simple as have fun...

[Astarlessnightsky]

Why hide?
No one ever asked me whats between my legs and i never asked anyone else that question.

Generally speaking no one cares what kind of person sits behind the screen and controls this or that character. Just have fun.

Off course when you enter voice chat some may know, but even in this case most won't care.

At least thats my experience, so there may be different kind of games where the community is different and the poeple do care more.

[rachiga]

Thank you 😊

[Valnac]

Sure, when you are ready to stop playing games and want something different to play with.

[Anonymous]

Why even tell anyone that you are a girl if you want to avoid that?

[rachiga]

I suppose because it is my gender and I shouldn't have to hide it just because I want to do gaming without people fapping me.

[Opinion Owner]

ok, dont hide your gender but dont post photos of yourself
