I actually agree wholeheartedly with the essence of what you tried to say, in that more representation is great even for those that doesn't fit our own interests. The issue is how you choose to convey your message, in an antagonistic and "combatative" manner. You're trying to act aloof, so let me put it as clear as I possibly can to relieve you of any sort of ambiguity. I've colored the segments in blue for clarity, where continued attitude of similar fashion will lead to a temporary suspension. Consider this your warning.

Games that have them don't get your money. Sure, by all means, it's your money.

But you don't seem to have any contrition for wanting games that let you represent yourself.

Why is it okay for you to want representation in games, but not okay for men who don't look like you to get theirs?

Do words like "hypocrisy" and phrases like "lack of self-awareness" exist in your world?

Edited to add:

By all means, ask for the character creator to allow you to make men of a slimmer build. But do you think it's okay to disparage someone for asking something different? What's so special about you?

And it's additionally an issue of persistent behavior across threads and discussions, such as the following example.

So the question you're posing about that particular paragraph is completely irrelevant. You can have a million great ideas and points, but misbehavior and toxicity is where moderation comes in. And great ideas doesn't cancel out behavior. So please reel in your attitude and focus on the discussion, not your eagerness for a petty fight. Because you have great ideas and thoughtful contributions to add. It's just a shame to see it muddied by that dash of sass on top.

EDIT: I also just want to add in an answer to your question about if it's ok for someone else to be doing something - If you believe someone's misbehaving or is causing a ruccus, use the report button instead of trying to challenge the bull by its horns. I see it way too often where in principle, a person might be in the clear if you look past the behavior, but trying to deal with it makes them end up in the cross-fire. So again, focus on the merits of the discussion instead of being the arbiter of righteousness - You only end up in the cross-fire of moderation. In a debate, you want to inspire new ways of thinking and to reconsider one's thoughts, not to try and hard-hand the other person with personal targetting, such as "What's so special about you?". You'll just end up with either causing them to lock up more, refusing to change their mind, or spoil the conversation entirely if the receiving end decides to get personal too.
