Do you play the other gender?

[Deleted]

What ho!

I'm interested in sexuality and gender in video games, particularly in WoW.

Male and I only play female characters in WoW because they look a lot better than male.

Male and I only play female characters in WoW because they look a lot better than male.

Female and for the same reason I will play some male characters. Most of my toons are female though.

Needs an option for "I play both"

The gender of my characters depends largely on the race. I don't like the models and animations for some genders in some races, and I like them in others.

I'm a woman, my main is a male and some of my alts. Sometimes I just prefer how they look, or if I'm interested in a male character in their lore then I usually make a male, I'm not really sure why.

I play both genders, It is mostly depends on what role I want to play with that toon.

For example:
My priest which I sorely made for healing was made female, the healing aspect+cloth robes (dress) feel better with a female. Don't wanna watch a guy in dress :P

My DK was made purely so my guild could progress heroic raiding and needed someone to tank. Because I wanted a more bulky figure for fetching the blows I made him male. Bit more muscles on it so felt good as a DK tank. (+no dress! :P Although T14 = dress plate.... Transmog ho!)

(men) Both, depends on what race and how they look, it's not like i'll dress up like a woman irl anytime soon so np ^^

[Terahertz]

I'm a guy and I generally play which gender I find to be best looking on a character. Though I prefer playing a male character (like a gnome). It's just which looks best. For a human it's pretty obvious. But so is for tauren ;P

[Ethes]

I prefer the female models, except for gnomes. They're both viable! :-)

Basically all the male models have way to wide shoulders or other issues whereas I find that the female models are pretty good!

[Daetur]

I play both, with a slight emphasis on female models because I find them to be... less ugly. It depends on the race, the class, and the "feel" of the particular character.

[Rivellana]

I'm a female and all of my characters are female, in every MMO I've played. I've attempted to make male characters before but I could never get used to how they looked, it just didn't feel right.

[Kuthe]

I have 90% males, and 10% females.
Only time I've made females are for my warlocks, I don't know why, but every warlock I've ever made is a female.
Also always named her 'Hellan', so some sort of terrible pun is why I do it.

feamle, only because I prefer the female human model.
when i played worgen / dwarf it was male

[HungryHippo]

I always play female characters, i mean c'mon, make night elf anyone? would play males if they looked like new model malfurion or thrall

[Draknalor186]

(man) i like begin a big bulky brute in any game i play so most of my toons are male

[Irony]

I dislike how all of the horde males look, so just played female.

[Mildennais]

My main is a male. The rest of my characters are female.

[Zaelsino]

Male, and yeah, I don't mind playing female characters at all. Pretty sure I have more female toons than male ones.

[Mormolyce]

Well that's only gender. If you're interested in sexuality as well... um, my female Orc is kinda butch I could RP her as a lesbian I suppose.
