Reminds me of one of the most hilarious moments I've had while playing CoX... I was playing with a female friend I had gotten into the game, and someone came up to her and said they knew she was a guy because her chest slider was raised.
Needless to say, I laughed. A lot. And now I'm laughing again

It's not like the only two options for female clothing are burqua and bikini. I think there's plenty of high heels and lingerie already, and I'd like to see more armored outfits and boots with cleats. Or, y'know, more lingerie for male models. Either of those is good, really.

I'm personally rather concerned that we seem to be drawing out all the 'you must be a pervert because you do x' types lately. Not only are they showing up in the forums a lot, but they're also being very vocal in-game ever since the Super-Tailor feature was announced.
The G.I.R.L.-types have been taking a much more severe verbal beating than they usually do.
I'm very sad to see that we have such an active population of bigots and haters.
-- Edit --
I'd also like to see more revealing and 'pretty' costumes for males. Ruffles and lace can be used to very good effect in male costumes.

I'm female and I use the w/skin option occasionally, but I grew up with the Batman model of hero as my favorite. That means that I usually think of how the toon is "armored" and what areas of the body would be affected in a fight. An unprotected belly, throat, ankle is a liability in a real fight, so I incorporate that into my costumes. Hmm, and yet I'm not a role-player.
I'm using /w skin rihgt now...but only because I haven't gotten ready for work yet.

This thread was brought on by a desire for fun. It was my only motivation. I think it will be a fun thread, and it has been already. Besides, after hearing for ten thousand times in the forums that most of the girls are really guys, I wanted to disagree. Most don't seem to be to me, or at least a big percentage don't seem to be.

Admittedly I am contributing quite highly to the number of girl characters with a guy player. Just under half of my characters are female. Then again, it is a role playing game, and I never found the interest in playing a bunch of carbon copy characters. Plus female Heroes and Villains are interesting to me.

Well experience is all that counts. In my experience its mostly guys trying to rip people off. The ones I have found out to be real women/girls tend to have issues and bring them into the game.

A lot of girls won't let on that they're girls in-games due to the treatment they'll receive (or at least the fear of it). Just before I took my last hiatus from the game I had a guy hit on me in-game, which was a seriously creepy experience (far more so than I would have expected).
From my experience on Freedom, most people really don't care in the slightest what gender you are- unfortunately just a few people can greatly over shadow the masses.

Conversly, as a man in real life with female characters, all of my characters /are/ covered from head to toe (at least technically - some of those outfits leave little to the imagination. The most skin my main shows is actually her Little Black (evening) Dress. Im a embarassed of just how much time and influence I spent getting the purportiosn just right for her int aht dress, really.
At any rate, all that to say: hear hear!

I've only had one bad experience in COH so far involving what may or may not have been a girl. I've played a lot of MMOs and have had plenty of 'tee hee i'm such a cutie and i'm new pls donate some money' type of crap. In other MMOs this type of behavior gets old fast. I typically just shy away from MMO populations in general. I solo and keep to myself mostly.

I'm not even sure why this is still an issue. It seems it won't go away. It was well established at the Dawn of MMO's that, yes, there are in fact, girl gamers. And how they're dressed does not indicate RL gender. How they act is a much better gauge.
I use "with skin" a lot because that's how I usually like to dress in real life anyways. I mean, the game gets more extreme than I can, but if it was legal, yah, I'd dress like that.

[/ QUOTE ]Sounds like a scam to me. Much better than the usual scam of sending a blind tell saying just 'give me money' that I get.
I know several other girls in game and none of them are the 'do it for me, i'm a defenseless girl!' type. Basically, I really don't think gender should be that big of a deal, and I think most people in the game feel the same way, for the most part CoX's playerbase is a rather mature and accepting bunch- but that doesn't mean there's not a handful of people that are quite immature, there's always going to be those kids (and generally, the less of them there are, the louder each one tries to be).

Not to nitpickl, but nothign thats you can do in the game is illegal in real-life, at least in most places in Europe and North America. So long as the genitals (vulva, or [censored] and testacles) and anus - and Aeriolas in the case of women - are not visible, the outfit is legal to wear.
On a broader note, I must admire your confidence. I do indeed see both women and men (though more often women) go about what seems like half-dressed to me, but for the life of me I can't imagine how they stand it.
There is a common misconception in this game that most characters using the "with skin" costume pieces in this game are mostly guys. I submit that bikini 1 and eden bottom and top used together may well be a guy, but it may be a female on the other end of the line also.
I mostly use the "with skin" costume pieces for my girls, because I don't really dress IRL in clothing from head to toe, like a burka. Some girls design costumes that way, but I rarely do. I even have a themed character named Beach Bunny who wears several swimming suit designs, both one piece and two piece, and sunglasses for her costumes.
So what happens every summer when the weather gets warm? Do all of the girls you see wear long sleeves and turtlenecks with ankle length pants? No! Why should my characters dress in full length tights then? I just want to say that most of those characters likely really are girls, because there are a lot of us on this game. I run into them all of the time.
