Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

it heavily implies sexism at this point.

That's a ridiculous assertion. It's much more likely that such a person simply always want to self-insert as much as possible, and so they choose characters as close to them as they can when given the choice, each time.

Yeah that's fair.

In my defense I was also imagining someone physically say "In my 35 years of gaming I have not picked a female character once!" in a conversation instead of them just not thinking much about it lmao.
