I can understand that people play different characters for different reasons, and a game can be a place you feel safe to explore

I just don't like the persistent myth/implication that people who play female characters must secretly be trans and "figuring stuff out"

like, I've played tomb raider, and I've also played god of war

when I play MMOs and make alts I tend to alternate genders for a sense of balance in the characters I play, I'm not gonna make 6 copies of the same dude who looks the most like me because I'm not comfortable not looking like myself or something

there was never anything wrong with it until weirdos insisted it must matter somehow

It's this weird reversal of modern gender concepts. We've spend decades talking about how just because some boy likes to watch Sailor Moon he isn't gay and that actually all kids should be able to be able to play with any toy they want, be it a Barbie or a Motortruck. 
And now these people suddenly storm into the room and are trying to mage it vogue to suspect that someone is trans because they like wearing pink shirts or play female videogame characters.

Isn't that... true though? You're an idiot if you think that divorce rates and women's independence aren't related. If you don't have an income, didn't have an education and live in a country without social security net it's either staying married or living on the street.
