Being Gendered Correctly

[PArcher]

Wow. I didn't think this thread would get this much attention so fast. Somehow I still read it all...

Pretty much OP, you're bringing real-life into the game, and that's your issue. Its not that people are being mean, its that you are choosing to make a big deal out of what amounts to nothing. If you want to use gaming as an escape, then use gaming as an escape; bringing your RL issues into the game nullifies that, and that IS your fault.


Ultimately, you are no more special than random guy #173920; I'm not treating you any different than anyone else because you have some RL issue that has no bearing on your ability to play that you've brought into the game. If you correct me, fine, I'll call you how you want...but if you do it in a trollish way don't expect much.

Lalafells are too androgynous for someone to be upset that someone else couldn't tell what gender they were.

I love to say to random Lala I meet "In the words of a famous professor: 'Are you a Boy or a Girl?'" Always get laughs out of it.

I take offense to this. I am not random "guy" #173920. I am random "guy" #173902!

How can I tell people I'm a grill when I'm actually a potato?

First time I met a grill playing a video game. Mind if put some steaks on your rack? Although with the proper seasoning, cut-up potatoes grilled in tin foil (or aluminum) are also quite tastey.
