Nothing’s wrong with players playing a character of the opposite gender. Some play it to express themselves. Others play it to avoid being cliche’d. The rest do it for the ass (or so they claim).

I just need to do a better job of proof-reading, to be sure I'm not just babbling off on tangents that aren't pertinent. :) <b>@Ratshag</b>: Thanks! Oh...and on the butt thing--you wouldn't object if we asked for a second opinion, right? <b>@Pablo</b>: Couldn't have said it better myself! :) @BBBB:

I don't play a female toon to pretend to be female, or to get in touch with my feminine side, or to deceive tards who are looking for a WoW hookup, or because I'm gay (I'm not, for the record - not that there's anything wrong with it...). Like BBBB I like to challenge the stereotypes a little. I play Horde, but nothing would be funnier to me than a badass gnome tank. So I play a female toon for a change of scenery and because it's something different. I don't teehee or /flirt or anything like that...I just send in my cat and then rain down a hail of arrows on the mobs. Unfortunately the world still has a good quantity of misogynistic, sexist, immature knotheads who will make comments about a player based on the sex of the imaginary character they created on a videogame. ta hell with 'em I’m male and play a female toon, and have also used the “if I’ve got to look at something for 70 levels…” rationale.

K says something, BBBB says I'm with you, but I gots a problem with this part here, K says yeah that didn't come out how I wanted, thanks fer pointing it out, etc. Well handled, both of ya. And for the record, I got a damn attractive butt. I likes me a civil discourse.

I didn't mean for it to sound like I was teeing off on you. Everything you wrote in your 5 lessons rocked, as does most of what you write. Sadly, instead of saying that I LIKED your post, I just wrote on the one thing that hit my hot button. By the way, flood of posts? Grats! And of course, as a clarification on my part….

Amusingly enough, when my wife was pregnant with our first child, we found common ground for a girl's name but not for a boy. Luckily, we had a little girl, solving the issue :) I play mostly females because for some reasons I find it easier to name female toons.
