    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come off that way. I wasn't being snarky with you, but rather expanded on what you were saying. I should have chosen better words.

    But I agree with you completely, and it's a bit ironic that it is often perceived that the more girly a character is, the more likely she is actually a guy. I've even read some silly studies mentioning things like males jump 60% more than females, and I'm just like who cares? Just let them be whoever they want to be unless they're actively trying to take advantage of others.

    Apologies, I may have been a tad sensitive.

    I've read similar research about male players jumping more, I'd actually believe that to be true. One thing that is interesting is how you as a player are perceived by others based on your behavior in game and the 'look' of your character. Personally, I address characters in-game by their apparent gender, and make no assumptions about the player because it really doesn't matter whether they are male or female. As you say, who cares.

    No apology is needed. I can see how that post could be interpreted several ways.

    I think there is quite a bit of truth to the jumping as well, and know several grasshoppers who have female characters. At the end of the day though, I don't make assumptions either and just prefer to interact with others without putting too much thought into such things. It is much more fun that way.
