Is it weird for MALES (irl) to play FEMALE characters ingame?

[Failadin-arathor]

It’s weird to think it’s weird op.

[Alluringdawn-proudmoore (Alluringdawn)]

Yes and you’re the only one that does it.

[Elenedhel-moon-guard]

Sighs
Let me guess: somebody went into Goldshire.
Flips hair

[Dumuntor-vashj]

No it’s not weird, it’s smart. You get runs, armor, weapons, gold, WoW time, etc. Your friend is probably mad you are going to get all those perks and they are not.

[Palastorm-suramar (Palastorm)]

They’re not real females. You get that right? They’re just toons. Playing a “male” or “female” toon is just whatever. Chill.

[Xaeris-proudmoore (Xaeris)]

Who cares. Play what you like. I think female characters look cool and I play far more female than male toons in all the games that I have played.

FYI, it has done nothing to “hurt” my masculinity. I am married to an amazing wife and I am a father of 3 three awesome little girls.

Anyone that has issues with someone playing a character of the opposite gender has unresolved issues and is more than likely hiding something in their closet.

[Karix-azuremyst (Karix)]

It is okay for a male to play AS a female character. It is 100% okay for a male to play WITH (using) a female character.

I never pretend I am the character. To me, these are like chess pieces. I control them, but I am not them.

[Sorelai-wyrmrest-accord (Sorelai)]

my friends give me so much hate because i made a female void elf mage instead of a male and i told them the female models look better in my opinion than the male one (i still think male looks good but female just looks better idk what it is). so i am trying to prove a point with this thread because im about to buy a appearance change at this point.

Life must suck with friends like that. I feel sorry for you.

[Leonides-doomhammer]

Can I have hoot if you’re just giving them away

Sure thing bud

[Sunac-hydraxis]

Your friends are neanderthals. Play what ya like.

[Anno-bleeding-hollow]

I think female characters look better in armor and have better animations a lot of the time. female undead warriors do flips, it’s so awesome.

[Poronzul-lightbringer]

I think what’s weird is these threads keep getting posted and bumped.

[Bunny-bleeding-hollow]

Weird? A little bit. I’m not going to give anyone a hard time for it because it’s their character but I find it weird as a girl.

[Mift-bleeding-hollow]

Almost all of the males I know in this game play female characters. I don’t think it’s weird (female opinion if that matters at all, I also play male toons). (What a necro.)

[Startastic-thrall (Startastic)]

What I miss is back in the day when most guys played males and girls played females, it was fun to flirt with each other in dungeons and raids. Now a days you dont really see that cuz you dont know what sex is behind the mask. Only time you can tell now is if you are in Discord. I do miss the old ways

[Retributoreu-draenor]

You can do anything you want, when you’re …sexy.
Thus female void elf is ok.

I mean, you never did. Unless you know for a fact who they are in real life, then nothing’s really changed lol. Keep flirting with rando’s if you want.

[Furryturnips-eonar]

Your friend is a little weird to obsess over the character you play in an RPG. Half the point of playing whatever character you play is liking what the character looks like.

[Dwarven-frostmourne]

GIRL.

G: Guy
I: In
R: Real
L: Life

[Fumu-malganis]

Nah. That being said, as a girl I could never play males. It just feels weird.
