I've played a lot of female character models in games like Guild Wars 1 and WoW because of the slimmer model and animations.That said I've also played many of male characters.

I did think it was weird, until like 5 years ago, for men to play female characters it they were actively role-playing as a female character. But I started following some role-playing content on Twitch and have become entirely accepting of people role-playing characters of the opposite gender.

I still think people who men who play female characters and try to catfish other men with ERP is weird as fuck though.
