Its scifi but in the Culture series by Iain M Banks, this is basically the case. Genetic engineering has come so far that people’s bodies produce drugs just by thinking about them. Gender transition is so complete that pregnancy is possible - one male character transitions every so often just because he likes being pregnant, then goes back to male. You’re considered odd if you haven’t transitioned at least once out of curiosity.
Ok if someone that plays videogames 24 hours a day told me in their 35 years of gaming they haven’t picked a character of the opposite gender once I would consider that odd too.
That’s a ridiculous assertion. It’s much more likely that such a person simply always want to self-insert as much as possible, and so they choose characters as close to them as they can when given the choice, each time.
In my defense I was also imagining someone physically say “In my 35 years of gaming I have not picked a female character once!” in a conversation instead of them just not thinking much about it lmao.

Like it heavily implies sexism at this point.

Yeah that’s fair.
