    A bunch of them are eggs, but I genuinely think a lot of the people who do are just cum-brained (Blizzard characters doing a good job of demonstrating that point for me). There’s a thing in de-facto harem anime like SAO that there basically can’t be other important male characters within the MC’s peer group because there can’t be even the vaguest notion of his female peers possibly being attracted to someone that isn’t him. There can be no competition! I think in a cishet cum-brain’s conception of things, playing as a female character can have a similar appeal because you control her agency and constantly have her in view of your camera, typically completely oblivious to your perspective as you look at her from whichever which way.

    But I broadly avoid media and people like this, so I wouldn’t know
