does it really matter what we play? or what sex we play? or who we play with?

i thought this game was for fun and socializing. not descriminating.

be french to play a frog

best line in this thread.

I ( As a Female ) Rather think that any Male is really a Male.
And any Female is really a Female.
Though i have met people who are males playing Females.
But i never have thought of any one of them being gay.
In fact my best friend plays a Female char.. but i don't let if bug me.. though i think it is abit odd.

From the point of making Norrath feel "real" I am glad that so many males play females because it would look weird if there where only 20% (as semone else assumed are female players)of female chars running around.

Video game challenged here, though I hate to admit it. Occasionally I like to play a male, so I am not video game challenged. No, that wasn't sarcasm, at least I am fairly sure it wasn't. Sometimes sarcasm sneaks in when you least expect it though.

ROFLMAO!!

Gotta love those crazy hosers up north, eh?

It's true that female chars seem to get more than male ones. But I would say the reason behind is not to get attention (as a toon *lol*) but to make females stick with the game as there are still (too) few.

Probably even in most relations the male partner started EQ and did pre-design a char for his wife/GF or at least help her through the levels but surely not for RL-reasons (for me a candle-light dinner would still beat every toon or item *smile*). They want just to share with their partners and therefore - make them stick to the game (repeat).

A lot of skillfull-crafted female chars seem to be result of a wife/GF not sticking with it because who would just waste a toon he put time, effort and plat into.

Hmmm...would it also scare the s**t out of you if a female played *male-ish*????

when i was younger i played D&D, i played a female mage. it was cool and i never had any problems with it, complete comfort. I boought everquest the day it was released, and within 3 hours of starting my D&D character all over, same name and everything, i became uncomfortable and deleted deleted her. the reason is simple, male characters were flirting with me and giving me things, that was totally gay for me to to be alright with that, so i made a male character. period.

"I just repeat" them is the most retarded reason to posting b*****t I've read for a long time.

You wouldn't probably want someone to repeat what Islamic Fundamentalism states about womens role in socieaty or quote what Hitler wrote about racial superiority as part of an argument here

Or would you not mind if someone did????

To test my wifes complaint that playing female characters online means you get hit on constantly (with the lesser bonus of getting lots of free stuff), I made a female character and logged in.

About oh.... 27 seconds later, someone I knew and often grouped with saw me and hit on me. Something really corny too, some "Moon on water" tripe. Once I got up off the floor and told him who I was, he logged out. Didn't see him for a few days.

Never made a female character again.

What means that you're gay? When you're gay, you're gay, regardless of how well you play a female character. If you're straight and play a female character down to flirting with male characters (who may be played by a girl), you're still straight. Personally I play an Ogre who's married to an Ogress. Does that mean I wanna have sex with an Ogress? Not really. I also play a female human bi-sexual, a gay male high elf, an a-sexual Iksar monk, and some other characters that I haven't picked any particular orientation for. Why do I do this? Because it's more fun to roleplay someone who's NOT you, not even remotely close.

Now for some quoting.

"I tend to kiss women characters in game to show appreciation."
Personally I hate when people start getting affectionate, whether it's a kiss or grabbing my ***, regardless of which character I play. It's inappropriate, it's invasive, and it's assuming that the other person wants a kiss. Chances are they don't.

"Define the term 'gay'"
Gay means gay. Gay means homosexual. It means someone who is attracted to someone of the same gender. Doesn't get any simpler.

Personally I just don't care if anyone thinks I'm gay or not, it doesn't affect who I am, nor does it affect the opinion my loved and close ones have of me as a person. The opinions of people on these message boards are mostly of pre-pubescent and most likely gay/bi-curious kids who need to explain themselves, and say really idiotic things like "I'm very manly." Grow some pubic hair before you start talking like that, kid.

"Here's an option for you. Choose not to "repeat them".

The next time you get the urge, simply press your lips together, or, as in this case, lift your fingers from the keyboard."



Hmmmm, an attempt at censorship from a wise person, I see. I am amazed at this posting, I thought that we were all adults here and could post things to discuss. I see that Yanari does not see this point of view, which is fine. I still feel free to post comments and join in the discussion. I will say that I myself will never tell another member not to post comments just because I disagree with the comments. Rather I would like to discuss the comments with the member in order to attempt to understand better what this particular community is about.
