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.
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.

No one is forcing you to read her posts so dont complain about the font. Just hit the ignore button.

well Xenoce, lying about your sex, or implying that you're a girl is wrong. I dont know if its something you secretly crave to be though. And ive found out that a lot of girls play more RPG/party games then fps/rts type games. quite a few of them like cutsie games or mario games $$.

also, you have to think about it jenny, wc is played by teenage boys to guy adults. if you're a girl, then youll easily draw attention because people are sick horny bastards.

and for a tip to everyone out there, if you by chance meet someone who says they are a girl, and they act slutty and have slutty names and ask for items and shit, then you better bet your socks that theyre a guy =)

I really don't see why true females playing the game need to say anything more then "shut the hell up, leave me alone." There is always the ignore button if they don't. Like I said, most people are idiots.

I wasn't complaning. I was asking. I realize what I said sounded a bit harsh. Sorry for that, but the point stands. Her posts have very few, if any, grammatical errors, no 1337 speak, and is free of excessive typos and spelling errors. She also apperently realizes this is a forum, and takes the time to spell out words like "you" and "are". This makes her posts greately superior and more fun to read then a good number of posters on this board. I'm just requesting that she not use such a color when posting. It's distinctive, but rather annoying.

I've never seen it as inherently wrong. I'm not religious, so I don't view lies as inherently "wrong". Like I said, it would be fun to be female for a while, but it's not something I'd really want permanently. I'm rather happy with me as I am.

I realize this. Like I have said, (several times) most people are stupid. They don't realize that saying such things is not only distasteful, but promotes more males to take female names/avatars for the reason that it attracts attention. There's nothing wrong with being a sick horny bastard, is there? *grins* There are just better ways of expression.

Besides, what if a male really does with to be female, and with the annonymity of the 'net, portrays themselves as they best feel represents themselves? As long as they don't act "Want some teh cyb0rz wiht a hot and h0rny chick?!?!1?1!!?" who cares?

MMO's have a male model for males..Female for females. It's kind of weird being a female if you're a male considering it doesn't impact growth or add bonuses except with the female model you have polygonal breasts. So i'll finalize onan opinionated 'yes.'


Does creating a name to attempt to portray yourself as a female point towards secret wants? Yes.

Ed, everyone knows books lie ! I'm prettiest-er then you!

N wench, you are a whore... ;)

I would like to meet a person named Dark Dick. I would get an autograph.
*sends autograph*

It's funny because most guys who pretend to be girls say something on those lines.
