I am neither a troon nor a progressive, but when it comes to transgender people playing video games, there does seem to be a distinctly different selection when it comes to the games they like and like to play, or gravitate toward. Now we all know there's a whole pile of itch.io pile of shovelware that caters to them, but that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the specific types of games that trannies play, independent of themes or not.

For example, Nintendo games seem to be a favorite, yet they don't cater to trannies. Pokémon maybe if you play as the girl (and let's face, most of the last 20 years ago the boy character looks kind of gay himself, so moot point). There's also the issue of other games that do have LGBT themes like Stellaris...and a bunch of indie games...and sometimes the "modern audience" AAA game...and some overlaps with the zoomer demographic.

But if you've been in the video game community for the last ten years, patterns emerge, just like how weeb anime, troon anime, and normie-tier anime are all wildly different. I know there's something to it.
 
sadly, trannies play everything under the sun
they're not limited or confined to any particular genre
 
Trannies largely being hyper-autistic men usually means pretty much every genre of games will have tranny players. The thing to look at I suppose would be the volume.

Hero and arena shooters in particular seem to attract huge numbers of them.

I think though that some trannies gravitate towards certain games or genres that real women play so that they can skinwalk women. Shit like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley for example.

There’s something about Paradox games and HOI4 in particular that trannies seem to love though. No idea how many Vic or CK trannies there are though.
 
Yeah men play all kinds of games. Men in dresses still do, but they mainly talk about the ones with a lot of pink.
The more casual ones who don't really play a lot of games but still want "gamer troon" as part of their image will focus on the nintendo/comfy stuff and zoomer fotm shit because it's low-hanging fruit, exactly the same as casual gamer actual girls.

So the ones that enjoy shit will play normal stuff that doesn't pander and just not really advertise it unless prompted, where they'll say "ugh yeah it's so problematic, my 400 hours in this game were just like torture, man". You can generalise about the casuals but not really those guys, they were normal nerds before deciding it would be funny to cut their dick off.
 
Personally I am still trying to figure out why troons flock to games with graphics that are low poly or try to imitate ps1 games. I wanna say it is the bloodborne ps1/bloodborne kart troon was first and then every troon followed because they are a freaking hivemind

Not true I'm afraid. For example, I'm into (classic) Doom, and that community is absolutely infested with troons. No need to go into detail, there is a long thread about Doomworld in Community Watch.

I'm guessing that's probably a survivorship thing. A lot of older games communities which had heavy IRC involvement got mysteriously gutted a short while after gamergate when a bunch of literal who (apparent) troons said "oh hey discord is so much better, let's all move there, conveniently I've already made the Official Channel for this very community (which I happen to be admin of) even though I only joined up last week and nobody knows who I am". Then they banned everyone with any kind of personality or who had been around too long so that only faggots and troons stuck around, and half the time used the manufactured drama there to eviscerate the parent forums as well.

Tell me if I'm wrong, it's just that this happened fucking everywhere practically overnight (or at least over the span of the same two weeks or so) almost like some sort of operation of a psychological nature or something.

I never hear about them being into racing games, apart from cartoony ones like Mario Kart.

Good childhood memories, of course. After all, they trooned out because they're stupid enough to think that skinwalking as a woman can reset their failed lives. So, naturally, they want to simulate the only time in their lives when they were happy.

The dress up aspect of games like Animal Crossing and The Sims appeal heavily to trannies. Being able to create the cute girl you will never be is a huge draw. I'm sure they will infest Tomodachi Living the Dream. At least they can't share their troon islands directly through Nintendo.
 
Trannies play and ruin everything they touch.
However they do make a very distinct type of game.
Low poly clown vomit.
They like to rip off existing games that are considered hip or trendy.
See Bloodborne, Cruelty Squad, Ultrakill
They almost never break from these formulas. Unless they're doing a VN disguised as a game with ugly pink faggoty art.
 
If it's cute or wholesome at all, then the troons and the gays will flock to it. Stardew Valley being the prime example. They will most likely make a ton of porn of it as well.

As well, if it suddenly generates a huge amount of porn, then troons will flock to it as well. Like that tall vampire lady from that Resident Evil and the cast of Overwatch.

No I did not have to match the blue int he logo for the game to the tranny flag in making this. The dev just used the same exact blue by chance.
 
We have a thread centered on "PSX" style games and how they have a large trans audience.

Overall, troons play everything. They are just men after all. Of course there's also the Autism correlation, so naturally certain "autism sims" also get a troon community. See HoI, or the entirety of speedrunning.

Of course, to be truly obvious, a fandom needs to form and certain things can push it in either direction. Having things that are supportive certainly help kickstart this, such as Bridget in Guilty Gear, Celeste entirely, and how Ultrakill's devs act. Certain things likely attract troons disproportionately, such as lesbians/yuri. Being too taboo just shrinks the community entirely, and perhaps keeps out some of the most vocal voices, such as with Black Souls in comparison to Fear & Hunger (both are gross, but Black Souls has loli). The game itself being chud-y can do a lot, though I'm not too sure how many of those come out good that aren't just naturally niche. Acting chud-y can help dissuade, but isn't foolproof - see how Peripeteia is in a weird limbo where its devs have said YWNBAW but it is still branded as troonslop regardless.

Now pooners I'd be curious to hear about. I'd assume they'd be into some Yaoi type games and cozy games, but I haven't heard of any games that are specific to them.

Problem being, how many good racing games are there today? Most are focused on being sims rather than actual fun games. I do wonder if trackmania has a large troon fanbase, considering it is a speedrunner type game.
