A troll within a troll (thread) trying to make people feel some type of way about feeling some type of way.

Does that mean I can start trolling it back then? Was trying to be respectful and have a discussion, but my inner troll is getting pretty restless

[Kimmy_Dee]

Don't call me "it".

[LordSliver]

Don't call me "it".

Chill pill please

This isnt a matter to get so upset over, ignore people and go on enjoying the game.

[Marowit]

The it was referring to being a troll as internet trolls have to gender hence the "it". Are you sure you should be playing video games at all though? Still trying to be nice, but I've never met or seen anyone be so sensitive and hurt over a single word that has no history, tone, meaning, or possibility to be negative.

At this point normally I would say something like 'man up' or 'grow some balls' but here idk.

I don't care who somebody is IRL. If we're interacting in a game, then it's who they are in the game that counts. Male characters get male pronouns and female characters get female pronouns. Makes everything easy and nobody can be offended by it. People playing characters of the opposite gender as themselves obviously wouldn't be doing so if they objected to being referred to that way.

(On the forums, by default you get the pronouns of the character in your avatar image, though if your RL gender is mentioned I'll switch to those pronouns. In game, I generally won't switch pronouns just because someone mentioned their RL gender, but will if they do so explicitly to specify that they prefer going by RL pronouns rather than IG ones.)

As another transwoman, I agree with you its quite annoying to be misgendered male when you are female. Especially since Warriors are forced to wear armor that pretty much de-genders us. Glamours have been a saving grace because it means I can put on some frilly stuff while tanking and that cuts down on the number of people misgendering me.
