Terazaki's character in game is really cute.

I refer to the relevant entry on "egg" from Urban Dictionary:
"A trans person who hasn't awakened to knowing that they are a trans person yet
When I was an egg, I loved playing as female characters in games and it made me happy to be called a she in my guild."

In this case, the main character's excuses to themself about picking a female character is basically a trope within the MtF egg/trans community as a very common reflection of eggness. (Yes, there is something like an egg community even though self-identifying as an egg basically means you've already "hatched"). Of course, the reasons the main character gives are valid in-and-of-themselves and don't make somebody an egg, but they are also very common "excuses" made by eggs to describe their actions without acknowledging their underlying gender insecurity. Which is why I made the joke. Which I have spent probably too much time explaining now.

@ma_zedong
Thank you very much for the explanation.

I guess I have just given up trying to understand these folks. I've read your explanation a couple times now but there's so much "egg" in there that it simply refuses to enter my brain...

Whenever I create a character for any game, it's either based on how it looks or I have made up an entire backstory for it in my head (basically made an OC). My own gender or gender preference was never part of it so can't say I can relate to any of that.

What the fuck is wrong with this comment section

I just want to say it's generic and bad

 

[Fluffyfish]

Nowadays it feels like most guys use female avatars if they have the choice so I don't see how that could be so surprising tbh.

 

[gigabarto]

there's already a better manga with this premise. let's see how this goes.

 

[DarkFlame]

@gigabarto what's the name of that manga?... want to read...

 

[Facade]

@Darkflame Probably
Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? ( And you thought there is never a girl online?)

There is an amine too "Netoge" should find it.

I liked it.

 

[Barnacles]

@DarkFlame heres the better better manga that also has an anime too: Netjuu no Susume (Recovery of an MMO Junkie)

Unfortunately it got cancelled due to author's health or something...

 

[DarkFlame]

been a while since I saw netoge anime... feels so nostalgic lol :)

this manga feels a bit different though since both are playings characters of their opposite genders...

Edit: Netjuu no Susume was a great anime too... didn't know it had a manga version...

 

[Facade]

Netoge has two main characters playing opposite genders too.

I haven't seen Netjuu no Susume, I'll check it out.

 

[sunsetchaos]

the cringe, this is why you don't play a girl character and meet up irl

 

[kcSaya]

>meeting up irl

absolutely not me irl

 

[noobtube2]

@sunsetchaos i mean you can just say you're actually a guy like i do but ok.

 

[genR]

The premise is so retarded. Who the fuck ends up being close enough to setup an irl meeting yet can't be bothered to take it to voice chat first. Hell, in this day who even plays multiple night-long sessions with the same person without realising they could have saved hours of typing by just exchanging discord infos.

 

[sunsetchaos]

@noobtube2 true but i meant when you don't say you're a guy..

Nothing wrong with pkaying another genre for a MMO character.

After all, you will see your character for a long time, so it's better if you enjoy it.

 

[noobtube2]

@sunsetchaos agreed

 

[ShinTenshiro20]

Hmmm another Net-juu no susume and yuube wa otanoshimi deshita ne manga
