To me it seems freakishly weird for a male to run around in a virtual universe with the identity of a hot looking woman...
Maybe it's just my upbringing in an older and now outdated world but it just seems to me like playing dress up on a Saturday night and trolling the seamier parts of town.
....
No offense to the irl TV community,,, carry on as you are in peace and love.

Generally, they maje the similar arguments such as easier on the eyes, what they prefer, etc. The one more common argument is that it also reduces harassment from the same guys that hit on any female avatar
Funny how those who complain about men using female avatars never seem to complain about women using male avatars.
I also have to wonder, these people who insist that you play an avatar of matching gender, what happens in a game like diablo 2 where classes are locked to gender? There if you wished to be a mage, your main option was the sorceress. Spear or now users had to be the amazon. Do these people refuse to play certain classes then?
Oh my God .... so some of those dudes I shared my stories with might have actually been chicks?

Tbh, I always played with female avatars, except in early times, but playing a male char just didn't feel right. Not many guy enjoy looking at other guys. I'm sure most of us rather enjoy watching someone of female gender, even without it being some topmodel or somesuch. If you rather enjoy male avatars then female avatars, that's up to you.
Tbh, these threads mostly seem to come from guys playing male characters, never seen it from another combination (like girls playing female chars, or guys playing female ones)
These threads also seemed to come from guys playing male characters who were "disappointed" (to dramatically understate it) to learn that that hot avatar was a guy in RL.
Nope never happened.
Except looking back in to the way back machine, the first corp I was in (with the old avatars) did have quite a bit of sexual trolling back and forth between the male and female characters. At that point in my Eve career, I had an expectation that males were males and females were females... I wonder now what those guys trolling the females thought when they figured it out.
I didn't participate in that talk as that's not why I play video games....

Thanks for all the good humor and a fun thread.
No I don't think people are weird that play as females. Just that it would make me, personally, feel weird to do it. You do what you want.
Peace and Love,

Fixed that for you.
Also the quoted post was a good one. Thanks.
