I haven’t watched the video yet but I do kind of want to put my own two cents in.

It’s irony. “Anime girl = le funny may-may”.

IIRC female characters tend to get different outfits and stuff like that. This gives one the freedom to try different outfits without really crossdressing.

NGL this is a huge issue in every game. Female characters can wear traditionally male outfits and armor, but also lots of dresses, more varied shapes of armor, and sometimes even basic shit like long coats and shit male characters don’t have access to.
Also in an intangible world, there are no downsides to being a woman and no benefits for a masculine body.
Hate and harrassment? There’s a reason women hide their gender on the internet.
If people find out you are a dog on a forum or anonymous social media you will never hear the end of it. Expect to be harassed for your identity no matter who you are if you are foolish enough to reveal any personal aspects. Everyone gets trolled online.
Are you really going to tell me these cishet “staring at an ass for 60 lvls” chuds use female avatars in solidarity with women?
What? No I don’t think they do it for solidarity? Most people think they’re dudes anyway? I wasn’t talking about that.
How is gender a “personal” detail? When was the last time someone rold you to get back into the kitchen for having a male voice in an online game? Trust me, there’s a reason I don’t turn voice chat on in online games but if I had a male voice I wouldn’t think twice because that shit doesn’t get you harassed. Are you going to tell me sexism doesn’t exist next?
it’s a mix of both your comments. It’s a thing in VR chat that practically none of the girls are irl girls. For the player it’s keyhole glimpse into seeing yourself as a girl without having to be seen as a girl. They don’t receive the full sexist treatment that a girl gamer would.
lol that comment didn’t deserve a delete tho
Yup. Try playing an online game with a generic g*mer username, and then change your username to a “girly” one. The tone of 99% of your interactions immediately changes.
anime girl is the carcification of online avatars
now we’re asking the real questions
“Because if you could be, you would be”
