Being a man-girl

I go with His Dark Materials universe where a person's dæmon, and in this case our characters, is usually the opposite sex.

I'm a seven-foot tall ex-basketball pro, Hindu guru, drag queen alien, but I choose to play as a Lalafell.

It really doesn't matter the character you choose to play. It's FF meaning you won't often play a character that is like you, but often very opposite, and escape from the real world.

Anyone who makes a stink about it, is lacking enough maturity to Role Play and play the game. If they are trying to hook up with girls or guys on the game, that is sad, sure some people develope real relationships, but typically it's a fantasy world that isn't based on real.

Mature players don't care.

Some players, myself included, might make jokes from time to time but nothing is meant by it.

Then there are a few people who do either have an aneurysm at the thought of stepping outside gender norms or treat MMOs like a virtual dating game.

For the first group, don't take it seriously cause they certainly don't. And for that second group, ignore them and just enjoy the game.

In other games, like Mass Effect 3, I'm a complete and utter asshole to everyone, so I chose to play as a bloke. In Skyrim, I'm a hardarse who has a problem with authority (read: kills authority at any opportunity), so again I'm a male. In EVE Online, I'm a fair but firey industrialist - and I chose a female character for that.

I think it's interesting to note that you clearly seem to associate masculinity with negative traits & behaviors.

We may need to bring you in for some psychoanalysis. :rolleyes:

Doesn't bother me one bit. But if I say "she wanted to x" or "he doesn't seem to care" based on your character, please don't jump down my throat for not being psychic. Its getting old.

I know someone that played a female character in FFXI for 6 years before admitting they were male IRL. And they milked it for what it was worth too.

I just assume that everyone playing is male and if they correct me, then that's fine.

I want Male mithras to come out so I don't have to pretend I have boobs anymore :<

I'm pretty sure the only reason ppl believe I'm a girl is cause I'm always playing with my husband lol. But then there have been times when random ppl think I'm his duel box character >_<. Idk why not like I auto follow him 24/7 lol. Even when I would say something they thought I was him and I'm like "uh I'm his wife btw >.>" lol

And yea I can't help it when I see ppl unless I know you I always just refer to them as what sex their character is unless they correct me. But doesnt really matter to me if someone plays as w/e, I just prefer playing as a character that resembles me lol.

"Girls dont play video games"

Carve this phrase into your mind

And you should know, OP, that no one has a gender choice with miqo'te or Roegadyn yet. Even so, there are still those that prefer to play female characters. Just accept other's differences. It's not even that serious, or serious at all.
