Being Gendered Correctly

[Rakashu]

Your talking about an entire language, and this is an MMORPG. You really want to change it? Like I said, good luck. It becomes that way because that's how our vocabulary is structured and developed. You want the real answer? Go ahead and spend the next 2,000 hours of your life delving deep into the creation of the English language and how it got to be the way it is today; I ain't got that time for that.

I continue to fail to understand why you so desperately need to be identified as a woman in a video game, a make believe setting that has no barring on the real world, where we'll never see your face or know who you really are. If some one in a group just began to assume I was a female because of my supple features and boyish haircut; that'd be fine, because I really don't care, and neither should you.

You make it sound like not stereotyping every gamer as a guy is a lot of work. Nobody's asking you to fix the English language! But being mindful of your own language might not be a bad start.
