Plenty of males with male character in this thread that not only reveals having their heart broken by males playing female characters, but also how butthurt they are over the fact.
L O L
But I got a question for the males playing male characters. Suffer from inferiority complex much? |

I purchased this character because it had skills I was interested in having. It's gender didn't matter to me.
On the other side of that. MMORPG = Many Men Online Role Playing Girls.
That tired old meme has been around since at least Everquest 1 and probably before that. Oh and btw, your excuse "maybe it's just my upbringing in an older and outdated world" doesn't wash, because for as long as I have played MMO's (Beta Tested EQ1) there have always been guys that rolled female toons. Always. I've rolled female toons in several different MMO's and i'm likely older than you (unless you are older than 48).
I think the real problem is, it just rubs your CONSERVATIVE RELIGIOUS sensibilities wrong and you feel the need to intrude those sensibilities into others lives as if you had the right to tell them what was good, bad, ok or not ok for them to do when in fact, you have no such rights at all.
So TLDR: Don't like it, too bad. Get over yourself. It happens, and will continue to happen, so Suck it up. Cupcake.

In WoW and DD:O I tend to play feemale characters; having to stare at the same butt running around in a grindfest for days on end just works better when it's a nice firm female butt.
In Eve, there is nothing to stare at (doing captains quaters made the fans on my computer run so fast I had to tie the machine down to avoid liftoff).
Caveat:
I do have a female alt, but she is purely for scaming lonely internet guys. |

Myself, I am perfectly secure in my sexuality and am not emotionally threatened in any way shape or form by a guy running a female avatar. Or taking that to a RW point, I am not threatened by LGBT individuals wanting to have the same legal rights of Marriage as I enjoy with my lovely wife.
I think the ones who have such major problems with it are the people who are insecure with their sexuality and feel threatened somehow because a guy runs a female character. I believe they are frightened of the possibility they may find themselves attracted to someones personality in game and then find out they were attracted to another Man. This of course terrifies them.
I just look at them, and feel pity for the smallnes of their souls.
P.s. The Character Avatar is not the person. Stop thinking it is.

Terajima Kazumi wrote:I am not the character that I play, so the notion that there should exist some correlation between the character's identity and my own does not logically follow. It is no stranger to play a game as a character of the opposite sex than it is to read a novel narrated in the first person by a character of the opposite sex,
I wonder, do you also find it strange to play a character that has different eye color/hair color/skin color/facial features/body type/etc than your own?
I think that the players here who have issues, internalize their characters too much and don't have any alts. To them their character is them hence the confusion.
Indeed most of my video game characters have different eye/hair/skin/facial/body/etc. from me since they are not me. They also have different moralities, and I personalities from me. I also refer to my characters in the third person and will say "I'm going to check up on Morollan" or "Celeste bought a new ship today" rather than saying "I was killed today" or "I stole a peasant's horse today." These events are not happening to me, but to my characters who are still as dear to me as any other fictional character. If anything my characters are like my children, and I have actually heard a few authors say the same thing about their characters. |

Eh, your firt mistake is the use of the word MEN. The majority of the player base here are onanistic puberty age BOYS.
Just look at the 'female' avatars. Most of them are rediculous caricutures.
Then figure that of that majority, most are the priveliged children of the effette European Socialist countries.
No surprise that so many of them pretend to be girls, it is closer to real life for them than you would care to think, I'm sure. |

It is pretty obvious that many of these avatars simply represent a juvenile male fantasy of what their ideal sex toy would be. You would think that these kids would outgrow that mindset as they mature, but remember this is the EVE population where far too many of them are basement dwellers hiding their computer **** from their Mom.
(Full disclosure: One of my toons is a female character. She is actually modeled after my adult daughter both in name and appearance.) |

So your male toon is what your ideal sex toy would be?
And modelling a character after your daughter is just disturbing. |

Actually this toon I bought and never changed the appearance.
My Main is modeled after me, an "Old Guy".

Truth.
I am waiting edgily for CCP to include longer hair on guys, because it is awesome and the fact that you can't give a guy long hair (other than dreads, or Amarrians - and how do Amarrians being the only long-haired males make sense at all?) annoys me fairly greatly.

"Have I defied the gods by achieving immortality? Or have I become a god? Is it sinful to never know the permanence of death or is it a right of passage toward divinity? Once the mind is as immortal as the soul, does the shape of the flesh matter? When the limit of lifetimes exceeds the infinite why must one confine themselves to one particular mortal vessel?
I know not the temperance of death. Why should I care for the restriction of form?"
This is pretty much what she would say if she weren't simply yet another mask I wear. ^_^
By the way, in my Psychology 101 class we were asked if we would choose to live as a member of the opposite sex. Half chose yes; half chose no. Most saying that they wouldn't mind as long as they could live out their first life beforehand. And our instructor was surprised by how many more had chosen "yes" compared to the year before. The trend seems to be toward complete acceptance rather than forcing everyone to fit into their preassigned ideological roles. |

I don't think it matters one bit if people use "actual real gender" for their characters or if they mix it up. I guess if you are trying to use eve as a space version of match.com then it might cause you some frustration but as it is I just do two things.
1. I assume all players are males until convinced otherwise.
2. I refer to them by the gender of their toon until convinced otherwise.
Both these handy items will keep you from despair, confusion, and heartache. |
