Because it bothers youGǪ 
GǪor, more likely, that if you absolutely have to stare at an avatar for hours on end, it's nicer if it's a female one.
GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

WHo sits in eve looking at their little tiny less than an inch picture all day? Weird GǪand thus you invalidated your own argument: since you're not staring at that little picture all day, it ceases to matter what's in it.
Also, you're not a chick (wellGǪ unless you are, but then your answer would make even less sense) GÇö you're you. The avatar is a chick (or not).

Quote:It is not the picture it is the immersion learn to understand. You're a dude playing a chick No. I'm a dude with a chick image in my character sheet. It's very easy to understand. Why are you failing so miserably?
More to the point, if you want to talk about immersion, do you think for a second that gender will have any meaning whatsoever in a society where you no longer meet persons GÇö you meet kilotonnes of steel, plastic, and advanced composites, bristling with guns that can turn you into thin space vapour in a matter of seconds. I don't play a person; I play an infomorph GÇö a digitized representation of an alter-state consciousness that, on a bad day, needs to inhabit a useless sack of flesh.
GǪand a guy whose unfortunate sack of flesh happens to take on female forms is somehow immersion-breaking to you? That seemsGǪ shortsighted somehow. 
Never mind that immersion is what you create. If you're talking about immersion, you're already into role-playing, at which point no role is any more or less immersion-breaking than any other beyond what you can imagine for yourself.
