I come back to the reason "Why" occasionally, I wonder - hey maybe this says something about me on a deep personal level, but then I realize - no, it's because I want to and no one can stop me and tell me no. |

That makes no sense.....
If they have a female avatar then they are trying to prove it to the world that they are 100% straight. Guys with male avatars just don't care what others think :S.

In short: why does it matter really? Some like to play with guys, others like to play with girls. Let us respect that, and blow each other to stardust to celebrate the freedom to choose. |

I find that guys with male avatars spend a lot of time attempting to point out that guys with female avatars are some how different. They seem to think that it draws attention away from the fact that they really 'like' their male avatar. |

If they are still acting as a guy and don't "pretend" to be a girl then there are no difference, but if they do "pretend" then they "are" different... |

Never assume. That's what vent and webcams do, weed out the posers, also if you miraculously get an actual female on webcam, well if they're actually there that's just gold.
You know what an answer is? It's a terminus -- an end. Answers are fine, but questions are where it's at. Questions bring us closer to understanding, -áthey can start a conversation or spark a revolution. So you might as well start asking... now.-á

In response to OP:
Probably the same reason I have a male alt. Sometimes he's nice to look at... and I'll admit I had fun sculpting his muscles.
Of course we could be stereotypical and say that its because we are socially inept nerds... |

Heck, that was the source of enough jokes that she used to be my avatar on the TEST forums.

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.

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,

First MMO i played was WoW, first characters i played were a human male paladin, dorf male hunter and finally I settled on a male night elf warrior. Although i liked the playstyle of the class, the character himself was kinda meh, after about 4 years of playing him character sex changed became available and i got him changed to a female toon.
I dont 'identify' with my avatar, i dont 'RP' and i dont make my characters look like me. I'm one of those that believes, if i'm gonna be spending hours and hours looking at somethings backside it might as well be something nice to look at. Something that i always say about MMOs and how you can tell what kind of person is really playing by the kind of Avatar they have.
-male toon = male IRL under the age of 18 and female any age
-female toon = male IRL over the age of 18
Funny side story about this characters name and avatar. When i rolled Gallente and picked the azn looking race, i changed the facial features around. Unintentionally, i thought she turned out looking like the chick from X-Men 2 (hence the name). Another funny side story my first toon when i started playing which is now in biomass was named "Amanduh Tucker". If you cant guess what i am IRL by looking at my first and last name, then yah be careful who you cyberz. |

I always assume people making these kind of threads are just cheap trolls, I mean this argument really is as old as the internet; this dead horse has been soundly thrashed and beaten to the nth degreee.
I'd also also rather not imgaine that there really are people on here who get genuinely upset about the gender of someone elses avatar. I mean really...how does that person cope with real life at all if they can get so bent out of shape about **** like this. Methinks there are issues at work and I'd rather not scrutinise them too deeply. |
