Oh OP, you silly.
....
Yes and I also admitted to having this character partly for ERP purposes. The game is much more enjoyable with a beautiful behind to look at 99% of the time.
Oh OP, you silly.
I remember a long time ago, shortly after LFG came out (Wrath I think?) I was playing a female draenei alt and ran a queued Gnomeregan.
I forget what led up to the moment, but at some point it came up that I'm a dude. The tank friggen caught fire. Flipped the hell out, started calling me a crossdresser, ranting about "the betas". We eventually kicked him for being a moron and did most of the dungeon tankless. It was kind of funny. I guess he was trying to work up to flirting with me or something, and things went decidedly askew.
It wasn't even an RP thing. I was from an RP server but didn't participate on that character. It was a cross-server run, and I'm not sure he even knew ED was an RP server.

I roll solo so I have no idea but honestly to each their own. If I werenāt a loner Iād look at starting my own. But I detest unnecessary drama.

LOL a crossdresser!? For playing a female doll in a video game?
But again what can you expect from someone so dumb they believe in that "alpha, beta" male nonsense.
Someone caught you catfishing, huh?

what is catfishing in this context?
Very sexist of you but carry on.11/09/2018 02:16 AMPosted by ElaeThe reason it's more offensive to be a guy playing a girl toon than a girl playing a guy toon, is that girls have a legitimate reason to play guy toons...men are creeps.
Guys playing girl toons have no excuse that I know of. Unless they want to use sexual appeal or whatever to earn gold, position in raids and so on...that's a legit reason.

Don't you love the double standard here? It's ok for woman to play males but males playing as females? Outrage!
Gender matters little in the real world... and even less in the pixel world.

It would be a double-standard, except for how things have played out over, oh, the last six thousand years.
For most of that time, women have been sequestered, barred from participation in governance, married off for the benefit of male relatives, unable to own or manage their own property or business, and disallowed to vote. More, they were blamed for the existence of evil (not just in Judeo-Christian scripture, either - the myth of Pandora carries exactly the same blame), and thus subjugated by religious authorities.
Here in the states, women have been allowed to vote for less than 100 years. A woman could not secure a line of credit in her own name until 1974.
Moreover, it was (and in many places still is) incumbent upon women to make themselves attractive for male appreciation. Tremendous social pressure existed to meet arbitrary standards of beauty, to a degree men find it difficult to imagine. Many of those standards were contradictory.
For example, a woman should be modest. Or sexy. If she isn't sexy enough, she's a prude. If not modest enough, she's a !@#$%. That's the double standard at play here.
And it's for that reason that a woman playing a female toon - or, for that matter a male one - whether dressed revealingly or not, is making different choices, from a different experience, and for different reasons, than a man playing a female toon and dressing that toon to please himself - particularly when what pleases him eroticises the model.
Men have different issues, but meeting arbitrary and contradictory standards of appearance for the benefit of women simply is not one of them. I imagine most women playing male toons do so, not to eroticize the content (good luck doing that with WoW's male game models, anyway) but to avoid harassment, or, more likely still, because it suits their notion of who that character is.
I'd leave out all this history stuff, because it's a game. Except that it's a story game, set in a fantasy world made up from other stories, inspired by a nostalgic view of history. And played by people, who are shaped by the forces of real history.
So a man playing a sexualized female toon is in fact doing something different from a man or a woman simply playing a character who is female or male, or an orc, or a wizard, or something else that she or he isn't in real life. And that difference is real, and it matters.

I am going to completely ignore the politics part because I don't want to discuss politics here, but let me remind you before. I am a female irl who plays a male and I picked this character because I think that male belfs look absolutely gorgeous. You just blew over my comment about almost never running into real issues while playing a female character. Most people just either assume you are a guy or don't at all. There was times I got flirtatious whispers, but its nothing that can't be handled easily.
For example, a woman should be modest. Or sexy. If she isn't sexy enough, she's a prude. If not modest enough, she's a !@#$%. That's the double standard at play here.
Trust me. There are plenty of women that would wear skimpy outfits in game. This is the kind of thing incels would say. People who know better know that there are women with varying tastes and desires just like men.
Purely hypothetical but just how immersion breaking would it be for someone to go to Goldshire on MG or ED and /yell rap lyrics off of songs from the Billboard Hot 100? Could such a person claim theyāre trying to RP as an up and coming emcee?
Just a quick FYI. I am not putting my pants on. I'll risk getting kicked from raids/dungeons and sacrificing stats to make sure I get to stare at that fine booty 99% of the time.

Then report them for extreme sexual and mental harassment
who hurt you?
I think "stima" attached to guys playing female characters is an absolute fallacy. A dear friend in my Guild (who passed away in 2008) played all female characters. I certainly never gave it thought or asked why. What he did love to do was take his clothes off in Org with his sexy Troll (and I'd grabbed my sexy Troll Hunter and do the same) and we'd suggestively dance around whoever we could get an audience with (sometime half of Org.) and giggle on vent while we did it. (Btw, I'm 51 years old and yes, I do still giggle).
My husband of 30 years plays female characters 50% or more of the time. Why? Cause they're sexy to follow behind! I'm positively in love with my Blood Elf and Draeni female Paladins because they have sexy behinds. Again, I'm 51 years old!
I see nothing wrong with that!

If this really happened, OP, you were in a guild full of idiot children and are better off without them.
Full disclosure: I am not a Tauren irl. I don't even have horns (except the kind you play music on).

To be fair though there is a lot of good reasons to play male characters that don't involve staring at behinds 99% of the time. I play mostly male goblins because I like their witty personality and imp like appearance. In certain mogs they can look pretty rad such as this pimp mog you see. And I also honestly feel male Draenei are so much better looking in many ways.
