Did you play a female, but you are really a dude? - Page 6

You people who really hate guys who play female avatars: do you also get angry when you read a book with a male author who includes females in the story? Just wondering. You guys must really hate Quentin Tarantino too.

I don't see what the big deal is until the dude-playing-female starts trying to convince people that they're female IRL and/or cyber etc. Like some people. You know who you are.

I just always thought it was weird since back in the day before WoW, there weren't too many guys playing female toons - so it was actually somewhat safe to assume that they were really a girl. Now I just assume it's a dude.

All the guys disappointed because the person they were hitting on was not a girl. Have you tried a dating service/site? Maybe get out now and then even? It's a game, get over it; many been doing it since before M59 even lol
Women playing male characters too :P

I only hit on / cyber female characters if they're actually guys irl.

EQ and even old MUD's like Gemstone and Dragonrealms had tons of guys playing female characters. If anything there are more actual female players then ever before.

I've met several women over the last few years IRL that turned out to be active MMO players.

Get over it. You should know better how stupid a young guy can be. Your fault for playing a female. It's like opening a case of beer and not expecting bad things to happen. Or going to the superbowl... No, I'm not legitimizing rape or incest or something wrongheaded like that. I just think you're expecting too much.

And, beyond that, I'm fine with guys playing females. They probably play in 3rd person most of the time. That's why they complain about looking at a guys butt. I prefer to play in first person. But even in 3rd person I like to see my guy because I like to see a well dressed guy wielding sharp things. It looks bad***.

I'd like to see more people roleplay families. Brothers/Sisters/Father/Mother. That would be fun. I actually remember being approached by someone asking me if i wanted to be their brother. I can't remember how I responded, but that was cool. You can change your last name to be the same too.

Way to have the point zoom 10 yards above your head. It's just semi-creepy to me. Not enough that I care, it's just why I don't do it.

Besides, you can't tell someone how to think or how to act.

Get over it.

Isn't that all just repeating what I already said?
But now you apply it to those that tell others they have no right to choose different gender for their fictional game character. Such a double standard is just not logical...

I just skipped to the punch-line, where the thread will go anyhoot. Topic has been on about every game/mmo forum multiple times and with sometimes 100's of posts each. The bottom line is that there are just too many boys that don't get out enough ^_^ And true that is since so many are now shut-ins these days as they just "socialize" on the internet and get fat.

hmmm... changed/edited your post, eh? As for that, I don't. So I guess the fault lays with you. lol
*waits for content of post to change again*

The fact that this has become a serious topic humors me..

It's human nature. You just need to accept that when you play a female character you're going to get passes and people role-playing a smitten lover. You should know that already. It really shouldn't surprise you at all.
