How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[Ketch]

I didn’t read all the posts so I have no idea if this was mentioned already.

I gave this some sarcastic thought awhile ago and came up with the assumption that all female Roegadyns are in fact females.

In my thinking female Roegadyns are too masculine and butch looking for any male to play. Men want to look at their own feminine booty in a swimsuit.

No man wants to play Brienne of Tarth

stop assuming everyone is cis and hetero
also stop assuming that everyone must always have a raging boner for their character

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This. OMFG This *so* much.

I really like the way my character looks, I have spend hours deciding on her appearance and voice. But good grief, she's just a game character, very pretty and yes, she's pleasing to the eye. In the same way that anything pretty is pleasing to the eye. Personally, I'm proud of her and continue to spend a decent amount of time adjusting her appearance and wardrobe as the mood takes me.

Why is it that people always assume the most ridiculous motives for such things?

In my experience, those accusing others of such things are the ones with the issue.

and to conserve replies...I'll add this here.

Hey Neighbour!

You live next door to DW'sR on the Mist seafront right?

Hmm....well, I'm on Behemoth, and our FC house is in the mist, its the Medium as far south east (I think) as you can go, it overlooks the beach atop a cliff all of it's own... But "Hey!" in any case, perhaps one day the servers will be upgraded enough to bring everyone together...

Male Player's character:

Make that outfit and hair pink and you come close to my wife's avatar, so, yeah, your theory doesn't work so well...

In this instance, as this thread illustrates, I think it's because so many men feel betrayed when their coveted in-game waifus turn out to not match their character's gender. This leads to them assuming that the other player is a pervert. It seems to be a self defense mechanism for feeling like they've been made to look like a fool, or to protect themselves from that happening (hence the cliche that 90% of female avatars are male).

Guys, females and female characters do not exist to service men, and men's eyes. Your assumptions about a player's RL gender are YOUR problem, not that player's. People play characters of opposite gender for any number of reasons, but I can guarantee you that it's never for YOU.

Hmm, must be a different nekos.

Small house, next door to us, nothing but catgirls.
Maybe I'm remembering wrong, I was queueing as low-level DPS the other day so I went wandering around everyones houses in our ward .

You gotta tone it down a few notches Aisustrong. Sarcastic thought is sarcastic though.

it's very aggravating seeing people act like "normal" is the only thing that exists
especially when they have both been told multiple times by multiple people in just this thread, but also in just the very nature of the internet and it's spread of culture and information

I like people for who they are, not what they are.

Not exactly sure why it took 327 posts for this to be said...or maybe it was and I missed it because I definitely started skimming through some of this hostile crap halfway through the thread, but kudos to you and +1

If you are a cool person, I will be friendly to you regardless of any other circumstances. End of story. I am a male gamer, I play a male Elezen and I tend to look at chat logs and game activites, not character models and animated posteriors... My friend was upset the other day that I hadn't noticed his glamour from 3 weeks ago. /shrug It wasn't meant to be inattentive, I just generally don't pay much attention to character models when I'm doing content. Max zoom camera, and usually paying attention to everything else going on in the raid/dungeon/whatever-content

I thought that quote on the 1st page was hilarious though, I jump everywhere I go!! Countless times I will put my character on my Enbarr mount in auto-run so while I'm running I can jump and rotate my char model as far to the side as possible and then back to original position to see if it will break my stride or not. I think I'm close to perfection!! Also, there is just too many things in my FC front yard that are awesome to jump on lol. Like catching the edge of my chocobo stable while jumping from my cobblestone fencing and doing the electric slide across the roof of the stable #tooflyforanelfguy

Seriously though, I guess I can understand OP's general curiousity, but I don't care if you are a guy a girl or a sniper-cat; if you are cool to talk to and generally a nice person I will be your friend!
