Dudes playing female characters

Publication par Robotusch

now i don't mind if a guy does play a female character, but i do believe it is wrong, because they probly do have some sort of mental disorder, and using the whole butt excuse pretty much proves it. i'm going to assume you are one of the many who uses the butt excuse.
Wait what? So because I thought it'd be amusing to have a female dwarf character, given the general lack of them, I'm suddenly mentally ill? :(

The fact that you're actually reacting to what a total stranger thinks of the way you play a videogame suggests that yes, you may be mentally ill. :)

The fact that you're reacting to the way a total stranger reacts to another total stranger suggest that you too may be mentally ill...

Think about what you say before you hit submit :P

stop. using. the. goddam. @ss. excuse.

noone intelligent buys it. you have a cape that will cover your chars bum, and you, if you're a normal person, won't be staring at your characters rear end.

don't EVER use this butt excuse again if you want any respect. that's terrible poor excuse and we're tired of hearing this tired ass excuse said over and over again.

it's a lie, you know it's a lie, so stop using it. come up with another excuse. and what truely infuriates me is that it's basically insulting people who play characters of their own gender only. as if i'm wierd for only playing characters of my own gender.

NEVER. USE. THE. BUTT. EXCUSE. EVER. AGAIN.

I'm not buying it, and i'm not buying the aesthetics excuse either. guys should not be rolling a female character to "look cool". might as well throw on a dress nancy and say how "cool" you look with a dress on.

So if you wan't to keep debating this, don't use the aesthetics excuse, and do not use the butt excsue. because noones buying it but you.

So come up with another excuse please, or kindly STFU.

Wow.

This is probably, in all seriousness, as close to watching a bout of gay panic as you can get on a forum.

"what truely infuriates me is that it's basically insulting people who play characters of their own gender only. as if i'm wierd for only playing characters of my own gender." No... you're weird for perceiving such a triviality as undermining your own identity to this degree.

Oh, and notice the bolded bit above? Yeah, you don't get to both lecture people on good mental health and use antique anti-gay slurs (for non-native English speakers, "nancy" or 'Nancy boy' are old pejoratives for male homosexuals).

I'm gone for one day and I missed all the fun? :(

Am I the only one that play a female character partly because the female lore characters are cool (Garona, Sylvanas and Shandris, to mention a few outstanding ones), and because a male hero feels a tad generic, boring and overdone -- not to mention that the male models in WoW clearly paint that image thousand times over again with Arnold Scharzenegger casters and the like. Granted, heroines are getting there as well, but they're not quite there yet in my opinion.

Guess it just feels a bit more epic to see a ruthless female heroine cleaving someone's head off, blood spraying over her armor, all while she's displaying a wicked grin during the entire massacre.

Or an untouchable priestess that sends flocks of monsters, whom are all armed to their teeth, fleeing, after which she scorch them with holy fire while showing no emotion at all as if this was her purpose. Maybe -- just maybe -- she'll show a glimpse of fulfillment and joy, for a second at most, about the abominable creatures being burned from within.

Ahem... yeah. Just feels more sinister putting a female in those situations. Women are dangerous, y'know. ;)

I believe the saying goes:
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."

There is nothing wrong with playing a female character if you're a guy or playing a male character if you're a chick. I play both depending on what I think looks cooler (i.e. I hate male draenei models so I choose the female version). To each his/her own.

Plus as a dude, would you really want to spend 80 levels starting a sweaty green male behind or a nice little female elf one?

Don't judge.

Mod edit: Do not use special characters to circumvent the profanity censor.

I'm with Eudemonia, you've gone past just thinking we're all wrong to what looks like honest fear.

But yeah, you're excuse is basically "you are wrong because I am right." OK, I won't use the butt excuse, because I don't stare at my characters' butts (that often). I'll give you that one, it's not a reason for why I rolled a girl. But you cannot just write off the aesthetics excuse either. I think Night Elf females look cooler than a Night Elf male. You can't say I'm wrong because that's my opinion. Women can look cool too, you sexist tool. Not only are you arguments baseless, unfounded tripe, they are also backed by both homophobia and misogyny. People like you disgust me and to be quite honest, I don't want to deal with you anymore, so I will no longer be posting in this thread or really even acknowledging your existence around this forum. Good day.

This has got to be the most asinine argument I've encountered in a while. Why worry about whether a guy is playing a woman online- it's breaking reality, but so is the fact that humans are playing Orcs, Trolls, Dwarves, Elves, Space Goats, and Cow People. Let's face it, the idea of warlocks, mages, demons, undead, and most of WoW lore is unrealistic. The only reason that I can see anyone getting this bent out of shape is that they're terrified that the hawt Night Elf chick that they've been feverishly fapping to is, in reality, a man. And in all honesty, if that's the case, I think you should be more worried that you find computer-generated characters so hawt that you need to spank the monkey while playing an MMO.

Personally, I play both male and female characters. I'm 35 and have been happily married for 12 years, so don't need to get my jollies by looking at computer game women. I play females for a variety of reasons. The first is that in certain cases, like priests, mages and warlocks, I prefer my characters to look like spellcasters and not steroid-enhanced weightlifters. Most males (with the exception of Blood elves) have that "just hit the gym" look, and humans tend to look like they've hit enough drugs to have permanent 'roids rage.

I also prefer aesthetics - I like male Dwarves because they're rugged. Female Night Elves are more fluid in motion and graceful than males (who look too top heavy and walk like they can't bend their knees). Male Draenei and Orcs are great for those burly melee classes, but look ridiculous as a spellcaster, so females suit the build better. As for Druids, I tend to think of males as Feral (aggressive and combative), and females as Resto (nurturing and healing). Balance druids can be either gender.

Finally, there are many Japanese stories with female heroines. Perhaps a male archetype is fine and dandy for people who prefer, but having practically grown up on anime as a teenager, I like having a female character as well. I don't play WoW to hook up, for sexual gratification, or for cheap and dirty cyb0rz - so why are you so worried about what other people play?

Perhaps it's time to stop judging other players and seriously evaluate why it bothers you so much. The issue isn't me, it's all you.

Edited to correct my age.

If you're going to pay $15 a month to play a game, then I think whatever you do with your game time is your own business. That includes what character you choose to play, its skin color, its class, its sex etc.Exactly.
There is nothing wrong with playing a female character if you're a guy or playing a male character if you're a chick. I play both depending on what I think looks cooler (i.e. I hate male draenei models so I choose the female version). To each his/her own.

Yet another QFT post heh.

you know what i don't get about you adam? you talk like an intelligent person, you seem smart and rational...........but then you turn around and say or agree with stupid, idiotic, immature stuff like this.

you are not an intelligent human being, yet you try to talk like one. stop talking like you are smart, because you've made it clear time and time again that you are a man of extremely limited intelligence and maturity.

so do what you should do, and talk in 1337 speek from now on, because that is the type of person you are.

You know what I don't get? Your not able to realize my name is Adams, not Adam lol. As for the rest... you've proved your like a 13-16 year old little boy at most, who obviously has funny feelings when he's showering with the other boys in gym class... seriously man, go get your own head checked before you start bad mouthing people you've never met, will never met, and probably could care less what you say.

I could have typed out 'Quoted for Truth' but I felt like using the short form instead; that makes me lazy, not unintelligent. They made a good point, as have the others who have posted similar things in this thread, so, rather then try to take their words for my own, I quote them, and put QFT, that's all.

If you really don't like us here, go back to the He-Man Women Haters on the official forums and leave us alone alright?

the butt excuse is the pure anti-thesis of intelligence and maturity.

and that is all i'm going to say to that.........

Just like your posts here. Seriously, if you noticed, in the two quotes there, neither of them are the butt excuse, and I only use it jokingly, I never actually mean it; as said before: I like the animations on certain races better then others; in the cases of the Female Draenei and Blood Elves, they look better then their male counterparts. I went with a pink haired gnome female warlock because I found it funny to kill tauren orcs and trolls with a little kewpie doll. My NE is female and a druid who spends all 'her' time in Boomkin form, so gender doesn't matter for that, but, like my previous examples; I don't like male NE actions so I went with a female, plus the name Dragonsong doesn't work with a male.

Horde side for me is different; Orc shaman male, Troll Death Knight male, Tauren Druid male, I don't play Forsaken because I hate the race completely. Come Cata I'll have a look at both the male and female Goblins and see which animations I like more; if it's female, then my Goblin warlock will be Female, if I like the male ones more, it will be Male.
