That’s why drag personally believes all RPGs with character customisation should have gender selection unless there’s a very good reason why not. The one good exception drag has seen is Pentiment - in that game you’re a mediaeval writer who hangs out with the monks at the Abbey. That story can’t be authentic with a woman player character. But that’s a very rare situation. Even games with named main characters can have gender select. Look at Prey and Mass Effect. It’s an accessibility feature.
I have a friend that’s the same. She refuses ro play witcher 3 because you cant pick a female character.
I think it’s ridiculous.
This is understandable if someone has a strong gender identity. Most people don’t have much of a gender so it’s less important to them.
Could also be about your conception of what you’re doing in a game - are you being the character, or controlling them
