Considering you never have to look at your face besides login this argument fails big time.

Sorry there is no real proof that global warming is a problem. The earth's temperature has gone up and down before humans even walked the earth. Seems like everyone has "drunk the kool-aid". See: http://xtronics.com/reference/globalwarming.htm

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 04/02/2008 05:05:50 Judging only by their character portrait, does anyone care to fancy a guess about what gender Shrike is?

how is it disturbing?
this is the Internet, after all. There's no guarenteed way to prove anything and it's not as if you're ever going to meet any of them in RL, so what does it really matter what gender the person you're talking to is?

A few things here.
First of all im male, and i almost exclusively make female characters (though i do make some male characters sometimes in certain MMOs where it 'fits' my character concept)
Secondly, there are girls that play eve. One of them told me they even have a secret girl only chat that you can only get in if one of them calls you and verifies over the phone that you are a female. Im not sure if i believe this or not, but sure.
Third. When i meet someone online, they are a name, and a bunch of letters and words that that name has typed which form statements and ideas. Some of these statements are agreeable, and i think "what a cool person". If that person has a female avatar, i am much more happy thinking i have found a cool chick. I don't want my delusions shattered, please do not push for that.
The reason that i mostly make female characters, and i think a lot of other people do also, is that female characters tend to look nicer. If you had a nice effeminate girly boy i could dress up in fashionable costumes i could perhaps be persuaded to make a character like that. Part of the fun of MMORPGs is creating an image for your character. Its more fun to customize a girl. I enjoy customizing my female characters much more than my males. Because males are usually more boring. With ambulation coming, and maybe shiny useless accessories, this choice will pay off.
Finlay. All males in this game look stupid. Be they the rodent-like achura males or the goofy looking gallente, or the angry curmudgeon amarr, they all look silly, and unless you want to make a character to exacly personify the sort of impression that those avatars make, choosing one just because its the same sex as you is moronic. The only good looking male in this game is that minmatar guy with the sunglasses, hes one cool customer. But only if hes the authentic one who uses a rifter. The rest are just posers.
I am 100% for keeping the internet totally separate from reality. If i want to be a girl on the internet i should be allowed to, if i want to pretend that YOU are a girl on the internet, i should be allowed to. I don't want to know who you really are, what you really look like, how your voice sounds, where you live. Because my fantasies are usually a lot more awesome than the truth. So why don't you just let me make you all shiny and wonderful in my mind with out trying to force your real boring selves onto me.

I knew the original Jenny Spitfire, whose player was female, along with quite a few others. I can't say their preferred playstyles and mine matched all that often (probably because of differences in what men and women are looking to get out of a game), but there are definitely female EVE players out there. There are even some that are hardcore PvPers. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!" |

Krystal Divine is actually a female. I haven't seen her or talked to her in awhile though, but I think that has to do with the fact that she's just expanded her family.

Personaly, i think man that play with MALE avatars are the one with sexuality issues.
I am a man, so I like to play with femalkes. THe afatar is not me, is somethign I play with. If you ike to play with males, then youa re the onewith ambiguous desires.

I'm not sure why the OP felt the need to broadcast their sex to the community.
Does it really matter that much?

I am a man, so I like to play with femalkes. THe afatar is not me, is somethign I play with. If you ike to play with males, then youa re the onewith ambiguous desires.
For me, I see my character as sort of a digital interpretation of what I would want to be in the virtual environment I'm playing. I don't "RP" and care very little about my alts. According to the way I play I would choose a female character if that's what I would choose to be in different circumstances. My sensation regarding the sexual visual impact of the portraits is limited to the extreme and doesn't factor into my decision of what race to pick at all.
I don't play with my avatar, I play as my avatar. I can easily see how other males might choose female character because it makes no difference to them at all, but anyone that chooses female avatars in EVE so that they can ogle the FACE of fictional digital females sounds somewhat desperate to me.

Am I the only one who finds the OP's sig a bit...odd? Let's turn it around:
"Don't play games with a guy who can play better."
WTF would that even mean? What am I missing? Do you want to be treated differently because of your RL gender? If so, keep it up. If not, just get on and play the game - y'know, actions, words, louder than...
