* All four members of the WebVideo/PartyCrashers group have played as a female character in a video game at least once, with Nick's mains in ''Mario Party'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' being Daisy and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]] respectively and Vernias' usual go-to character in ''Mario Party'' being Birdo. But out of the four, Sophist is the most likely to play as a female character, as nearly every game they play has him picking the female option. And while Brent usually {{avert|edtrope}}s this, with his mains in ''Mario Party'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' being Luigi and [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry King K. Rool]] respectively, he did play as Princess Peach in their ''Mario Kart 64'' video.

* Mac does this in ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' during "Down The Rabbit Hole," where he investigated the death of a Second Life cosplayer by going into the game with a female avatar (with help from Adam creating it and Stella taking over the dialogue, since Mac was clueless).

* At one point, LetsPlay/ProtonJon alternating between Waluigi (his main since Mario Party 3, which was Waluigi's debut) and Rosalina (who made her playable Mario Party debut in 10). Rosalina is the one who applies to this trope.
* [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile]] of LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys in the fifth and sixth Mario Party games played as Daisy, after his choice from the previous games became a non-playable character and a string of {{Accidental Innuendo}}s regarding Daisy during a Twitch stream of Jon's in 6. After getting blanked twice he committed to his original plan of changing characters to Toad. He had to switch back to her for a Super Mario Party stream as Donkey Kong (the abovementioned choice from the previous games, who had by then returned to being playable) wasn't unlocked yet and Toad had switched back to hosting.
* [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] and [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in ''WebVideo/SBIRust''. Players' avatars in ''VideoGame/{{Rust}}'' are randomized, and many male streamers end up with female avatars. Other than a few jokes, this is largely ignored.

* Noted Achievement Hunter fan and fanfiction author Fanfic/KhaosOmega prefers to play as female characters, but in his case it's more for the high heels since female characters are usually the only ones who can wear them in-game.

* Some games such as the ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' series have a specifically-gendered sprite for each character. Want to zing fireballs around? You've got to play as a female Sorceress. Want to summon the dead to do your bidding? All necromancers are male, sorry. ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', however, has moved away from this trend by allowing players to choose their gender for all classes.

* In Webcomic/LetsPlay Abe's Avatar in World of Warquest is female. Only Dallas think it's weird but [[ButtMonkey nobody listens to him anyway]].
