I really do understand that, i think having the option to choose the gender of your mc is the best option (but not a must), bc of the maximum of self-insertion!  definitely. I was more so thinking about how when there is not something like this, ppl ask only in  games with female mc's for an addition. I personally haven't seen that in games with male mc's or BL's. Ppl are content playing mc's of other genders, even if it's not their own (like it should be) but the second it's a woman, ppl (men one thing but there are even nonbinary ppl that don't play games with fem characters but do with male mc or genderneutral ) avoid it until there is another gender option.  

I'm a woman like you correctly assumed, but i do play games regardless of what gender my mc has. I don't limit myself to playing a game based on what gender the MC can have or not. Sometimes even if I have the choice I play as a man for some routes. I just think of my own OC's etc. So I guess, I just don't understand why this is so difficult for other ppl. You know? It's like we so rarely have female leads in anything, and we have learned to identify with male leads but the other way around it's always not happening as much at all. Be it with tv shows, books, games that have female leads and the whole misogyny of a lot of ppl, sometimes even within the target audience. And then it sometimes is a bit frustrating to see that ppl want to specifically see women get highlighted but only then there is a need to make it so that everyone is choosable? idk i definitely get where you're coming from and at the same time i'm still sad that ppl avoid games just bc it has fem mc's, as if it wasn't playable when you are not a woman. And let's not forget all these ppl fetishizing BL, but never playing any sapphic stories or whatever. But I don't think i need to tell that to you as a queer person. ^^

also thanks for your reply and you weren't rude at all :)
