[General Discussion] Cross Dressing

There are three interesting ways to look at something like this.

- "Crossdressing" in an MMO doesn't exist, unless you put your [Lovely Black Dress] on a male character. When you create a character, you play the role of that character. So long as you play that role, whether or not you exert your own personality into the character, little else matters.

- If everyone stuck to their real life gender in MMOs, the population balance between Males and Females would be around 80% to 20% or so. You may as well give the female characters a silver dragon around their portrait in World of Warcraft.

- The wise man is wise for a reason. If you're going to be spending time looking at something, there's no reason that it shouldn't be aesthetically pleasing.

That said, I have several female characters and several male characters. In World of Warcraft's case, I chose a female Undead Rogue over a male one, because of their little flip animation they do when they do special attacks. I chose a female Human Paladin over a male because they look 500x better.

Variety is the spice of life, you know.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you feel embarassed playing a female, nobody is ultimately forcing you to do it. Any gender or race in a particular MMO is completely up to personal preference. If it feels wrong, and you're paying a company to play the game, then do what feels right.

I mean it's not like we all have to adhere to playing the Human race in MMOs because we're actually humans in reality, right?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
