Being Gendered Correctly

[Lamentations]

As a female gamer as well, I'm really tired of this. Stop assuming that I'm a man. Generally, I assume character gender = player gender unless proven otherwise, and have NO problem giving a gentle correction when that happens when I'm playing one of my boys...but girls? Really? Yes. We exist in gaming and MMOs. So please stop assuming we're all men.

I'm sure someone will pop in with "It's not a big deal, get over it"...but when you've played many MMOs and found this attitude to be the most prevalent, yes, it does get tiring. Just because we're used to casual sexism in games doesn't mean that it's not exhausting to put up with.

Lol maybe it's because I am 52 that I do this, it just comes natural, some tell me what gender they are behind the toon some don't.

I call female toons she and males he, it's default to me.

Doesn't really matter, a personality is a personality, a jerk is a jerk, gender doesn't matter.

I dunno, some times people just use it wrong unintentionally. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

95% of statistics are made up on the spot with no kind of actual research involved. It's true!

I can't imagine how you deal with people in real life if you get upset over someone calling you the "wrong" gender in an online video game. I'll make sure to remember each and every time I see someone new I ask them everything about them before I go as so far to say a "Hello" as that might somehow offend them as well.

trolling or not. one of the better topics i've ever seen on this damn game lol.

I see that people are now moving from 'cry moar' and heading into the territory of actual transphobia. And yet the thread remains unlocked.
