Being Gendered Correctly

[Elvie]

I want players to see me as a fun player who brings enough to the game that I make a good part of the team. Not base their attitude on me having breasts.

Um.. and that has what to do with wanting to be talked about/referred to with the correct pronouns?

It's not asking to be a special case or be treated differently to suggest that people use pronouns that match a player's presented character or remain gender neutral unless corrected or informed by that player differently. That's just basic human decency. Nothing to do with gaming really. It just comes up because in a social game, people use words, and words matter.

Because what you are on the other end in a game is irrelevant. It's like getting mad at someone that calls everyone they don't know "Bob". It's called insanity.

So a person's gender outside the game isn't relevant... Awesome. Then let's do the logical thing and refer to players according to their in-game gender, unless they tell us it is something different, just like the OP asked in the first place. So glad you agree

No, I really don't. It's irrelevant both ways. Digital avatars don't carry any meaning.

The "most logical thing" would be not to play a MMO in the first place, as wasting so much time is definitely not logical, and arguing about all of this is even less so.

Just saying that logic has no place in here :P

For your ingame friends, your FC. You have a point, For every other random player, especially ones you may meet once in DF no matter how long you play, not really.
