Sorry, this statement is hilarious. This implies that only those who are attracted to women are supposed to play the game.

Only people attracted to women are "supposed" to play this game insofar as only men are "supposed" to play, for example, Gothic because the player character is a man.

There's always going to be the majority audience. RPGs, I believe, have a bigger female audience compared to most other genres, but women are still not the majority. The majority are men, and the majority of men are straight. A female narrator would "cover" the biggest percentage of players, that being straight men, as well as bi men and women.

This is all assuming I'm not off-base regarding the motivation behind the choice of the narrator in the first place, of course. Which I might be.
