Persona 3 Portable and Persona 5 Royal. I had an xbox game pass. I got half way through persona 3 and loved playing as kotone shiomi. I have played as a girl in video games for years whenever it was an option. It hadn’t occurred to me why I chose female characters until I switched to persona 5 Royal because my subscription was ending soon, and I was disappointed by the lack of a female protagonist option. I realized the reason I was disappointed was because I enjoyed the gendered experience. I got to be one of the girls. I’ve never played a game with an acknowledgement of my femininity before, and it was really nice.

I think the BNA anime helped me greatly. Too bad it doesn’t exist as a normal Blu-ray to buy only as some super expensive special edition.

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Game came out right at the start of a pandemic and within two weeks I was girl moding in game.

Took me a year and a half to understand what that meant exactly, but the game let me explore what it means for me to be femme and try on different looks.

I probably would have figured it out without Animal Crossing, but I bet it would have taken way longer.
