Not really. People do different things for different reasons. I know people who make up elaborate backstories for their characters, and go through the game as if they are being told a story ABOUT those characters. Me personally, I go the self insert route, so I have a really hard time playing female characters. I like to imagine I AM the character. I also do that with books, so its hard to read a book if the MC isn't male for me there too. It doesn't bother me at all to have female leads in movies or TV shows, but books and games can be difficult if the MC is female.
