Guys who play female characters

[paperfire]

This is big issue that needs to be addressed. Can guys stop playing female characters, or at the very least admit if they are guy if playing one? It causes alot of confusion and I got into a pretty uncomfortable situation because of this.

Good assumption to make:

You know a character's gender. That character is all you know. The player is not the character.

[XeroD]

That right there, that's just funny.

[StreetHydrant]

I can play whatever I want.

Mod Edit: Do not post memes. [ML]

You make an excellent point. I will immediately delete or recustomise all female characters I may have, and refrain from playing female characters in future, so that there's not a risk of running into you and making you feel a bit uncomfortable.

I tell you what... you explain this situation and I will stop rolling female characters.

I'm sorry if you're unhappy with the reveal but I meant everything I said and I still do.

Almost all of my characters are female. This is largely due to the models for all races generally being awful and the females being slightly less awful.

So you did or said something to someone without fully knowing them, that caused it to be a uncomfortable situation. Sounds about right, regardless of the other person being male or female.

Lol "big issue", doubt more than 1/100000 players think the ig gender reflect irl gender.

Your character isn't some sort of a copy of your real life self. Your character is a unique person in the warcraft universe, not a real life person.

There's no problem as soon as you stop looking for sexual partner in-game.

[Merador]

Uhm... treat every player the same and it's no problem?

I have many alts and some are female, but it's totally normal in a game.
Only playing the same gender on all alts is boring...

[kiekaboe]

The problem is not what gender character the player plays , the problem is the guys immediately going crazy when seeing a female character and think it is a girl and immediately start jerking to the pixels. Jesus guys go out and talk to woman instead of trying to convince yourself you can get a pixel character to do everything for you.

I usually refer to everything in the game as "He."
Sometimes I get corrected, sometimes I don't.
One time someone wrote me an essay about how I was CIS Scum and that their pronoun was "Xir" and their blood-type was "Non-Cis Positive".
Shit happens I guess.

ITT: OP hit on a GIRL (guy in real life).

[Deleted]

Just assume everyone is a male untill proven otherwise.

[Tisane]

What about girls who play male characters? :P Years ago a female friend of mine loved to play dwarf males

[shadowfyre27]

Hmmmm did someone hit on a female toon thinking a chick was playing it only to find out it was a dude? I have female toons that I play including my main, but it's fairly easy to figure out I'm a guy just by talking to me in game lol, never been mistaken for a chick. TBH I couldn't tell you why I prefer to play female toons but I can say it's not for the looks, case in point my main is a goblin female and goblin females ain't that great looking lol. Altho I did make a female tauren pally simply because female toons that tank in my experience are quite rare so I figured it would be something unusual lol.

oh, is it time for this topic again?
