Don't ask, don't tell - Relationship Thought Experiment

[MoroMurasaki]

That's possible.
But then it speaks to sexism and male "entitlement".
Because then the idea is that every female has to be a "potential hook up" or they have no value.
For example, if you only cared about making friends, gender is irrelevant for the most part.

The only reason gender matters is if you want to form a "more than friends" relationship.
And if that's the case, you can literally just ask the persons gender.

Where are you getting this crap? Male entitlement? How does not wanting to enter into what some players view as a semblance of a real relationship with a person from a gender they're not attracted to equate to some kind of entitlement? This is insane.

Where does anyone imply women who aren't potential hook ups don't have value? Seriously are you even reading the same things everyone else is?

1. This only works if you are ok with it being in-game and in text only. Never being able to call the person you like or hear them on discord is a large burden. No real life visits, no video chats. Text or nothing.
2. Not every female avatar is by someone who wants to be a woman in an eternal bond relationship, or to be treated as a woman in general.
3. You are asking for people to enter into unconsummatable love. That has its own pain, and you have to be okay with sort of a half-love; knowing it can never go beyond a certain step.

Very much agreed. This is a good summary of the caution I suggested in my original post here.
