Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
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.

If you can't tell does it really matter if you accidentally use voice 1 with body type 2? (I don't really see why it would but I realize that my experience is likely quite different)
As an enby I personally do prefer the body type being labelled by a number or letter rather than a gender when I try to make a character I can identify with. My favourite is to have a body with sliders for body shape options but that isn't viable for a lot of games and does make it difficult to make good looking characters.
Also in Baldur's Gate 3 the body types are labeled 1 and 2 (+3 and 4 for those with strong/not strong variants) It's only the disguise menu (and I believe the game files) that call it masc/femme.
Well like I don't want to get surprised if in the game I take my armor or clothes off and there are boobs there, especially in games where there's not an option to change later
I've never actually played a game that didn't have the option. I suppose that's fair then.
Like pretty much any game made before like 2020? It is only pretty recently that any games added the option to change that, and some games still don't have the option.
