it really sucks to be a girl and being bombarded with stuff like "are you really a girl", "dude i know you are a guy so quit the bullshit" and then to prove to the same assholes that ask those questions, you are asked to prove it. Ask Cxoli or Tatu on the forums.Originally posted by Xenoce
Jenny, I think you're being a bit over-sensitive. Quite a bit, actually.
MMO's have both male and female avatars, and both sexes play both (though it's percentage-wise rarer for a female to play a male). There are a multitude of different reasons for the decisions. There are essays and papers dedicated to the study of why people do that, I won't get into that right now.
I've even done it once. Know why? Not because I have some secret desire to be female (though it'd be fun to try for a while) but because I'd heard tales of people giving female toons free stuff.
Often, people create names just because. It's fun to see the reactions of people who think you're a girl. Funny sometimes. Entertaining most of the time, and annoying some of the time.
How does he make it seem that being a female WC player is a joke?
Granted, most of the people who play WC3 are male. Hell, most game-players are male. And the mass majority of people (not just males) are stupid. Hence the mass majority of game-players/WC3 players are stupid. And it's fun to mess with the heads of stupid people. This is acomplished in more ways then creating a female name. The only difference is that a female name is constiant, and less insubstantial then a confusing and provoking conversation. Unless the replay is saved.
Edit: Might you perchance stop with the pink text please? It's rather difficult on the eyes, and makes one need to highlight it to read your post with efficiency. Especially on this green background.
