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

[Azurymber]

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?

The only reason to focus on gender instead of general dishonesty is if the issue is with gender specifically.
People lie about everything online (e.g. IRL relationship status, occupation, age, appearance, education, wealth, etc)
Focusing only on gender suggests that there is a specific issue with people lying about gender (more so than other issues)

If you meet someone in game, their gender doesn't matter, unless you expect something more than a friendship with them. (this is entitlement)
If you start dating someone and they lie about their gender, then the issue is Dishonesty, and not gender. (if you emphasize gender, this is transphobia)

This entire thread is about guys "hyper investing" in people they -think- are girls, only to get broken hearted when they find out their fantasy isn't real. This is sexism and entitlement. The idea of investing in a girl and then being disappointed at not getting what you want/imagined.
