I'm a woman and play a female toon. I can't tell you the number of times I've been referred to as "he" under the assumption that women don't play games.

*Ahem* Yes we do. And not just because our husband/boyfriend plays them. I was playing D&D long before I met my husband.

It lies! It's a guy, everyone knows women don't play these games, women are too mature!

*dodges tomatoes*

Sorry, I'm bored and wierd. carry on

Really to confusing for my tasts. Its like do I say he or she. I just don't know. And then you say the wrong thing and they are all like "Hey, I'm not a chick." And then I have to sheepishly say "sorry, but from my point of view you look like a woman." And then they say "Well I am a guy, and if I knew where you lived I would beat you up for calling me a girl." And then I end up sleeping with one eye open for three days before deciding that the shemale didn't know where I lived.

All in all it is safer to keep your gender.

It's the people who jump on you like that that shouldn't gender bend heh. They give people like me a bad name.

I got used to being called she when I had long hair .. err.. Okay, well, anyways, if I'm playing a female character, I'm used to beiong refered to as 'she' OOCly. And most people who know me(and know I'm a guy) will still actually refer to the OOC me as a she if I'm playing a female chatacter, out of respect for the fact that some people don't want it published. It doesn't bother me 'course.

If I ever feel someone I'm dealing with needs to know my real gender, I will state it. Usually this happens if an IC relationship starts to form, or if someone starts to OOCly hit on me... That does irk me. But that's not about being hit on by a guy, that's about someone hitting on me over a video game, regaurdless of their gender.

Okay, so it came up recently in a discussion with someone, and I'm just going to ask the community here:

What are your feelings of individuals gender bending (for those who do not know the term: playing a member of the opposite sex)?

((You are all a bunch of perverts. Every one of you!!))

(And so are you for setting us up like that.)

It sounds quite dumb.

If you're going for a comedic parody hero (such as The Tick, or Freakazoid), it fits, but if you're aiming for a serious hero.. ah ah..

Okay, so here's the thing: I can make it tuesdays. But I can't make it to the meet and greet today due to a prior commitment.

I'm going to go ahead and drop and Email to Nightraven and just see how it works out.

I would really be interested in this, but before I could commit I'd need to know what day/time it'd be.

(I've REALLY wanted to do something like that)

Arthur Hawks, my broadsword/regen scrapper is a traffic cop.

Deamon Avenger, my flame tank, is a deamon and has no day job.

Dark electrics, my blaster, used to be a secretery, got blown to bits in an explosion, rebuilt as a cyborg killing machine and is now a full-time vigilante, recieving cash under the table from several organizations.

Midnight Hound, my claws/reflexes scrapper is independantly wealthy (rich family, had a good paying executive job, and won powerball), spent most of his money on his cybernetic enhancements to make him run faster, jump higher, of yeah, and the mithril claws, too. And he put the rest int he bank, and lives off the interest, and the money he gets from busting bad guys.

Seventh Sister, my illusionist makes her money by apearing at various fantasy conventions with her hair dyed white, being an evil (insert D&D dark elf here) priestess. Or by preforming minor illusions for entertainment.

Sewer Crocodile, my SS/invuln tanker, lives in the sewers, doesn't have a job and is too much of a freak to get one. And she bites.

Neon Comet, My empath, is a Triage (sp?) nurse.

And Radiazione is an exotic dancer. 'nuff said.
