Video Game Gender Swap
Some may know it, some may not. The Gender Swap in the gaming world is something that should not be laughed at and ridiculed. Many people like to play as the opposite gender in a game. I do. I like to play male characters. The girls may get more design options, and they may have an easier time leveling and they may get other perks for being female… But playing a guy is where its at. Why?

Also, as a (poor) writer, I like to come up with stories for my characters, and I found I liked writing for my girl characters not only in games but in my own stories as well.
