Men likes the thongs and Women likes the pants (open post)
This blog will be updated later but as of right now i started my little research as to why guys will play girl characters and why girls will play male characters. I personally take up the pants.
So Ive posted this question in 5 Forums (4 of which are game forums and 1 which is a more general talkabouteverything forum). World of Warcraft WarHammer Ragnarok Online Requiem Soompi This has only been the first hour but so far its been epik fail...and already some trollish replies (troll=people who spam because mama didnt love them). Maybe Im just not asking it right. ____ Update: 2 hours, Requiem seems to be giving more informative responses Update: 1 day, lots of trollish posts but still some interesting responses Update: Finished and Post starts here v ___________________________________________________________________________ I already know this post will probably be LONG, but Ill keep it short and try to resist from bashing people I like to call “item WHORES”. (Some of you might come to find that whore is my favorite word to say) Okay, so one of my favorite things to do in games, when im not grinding to my next lvl, is to bash on people who pretend to be the opposite sex for personal gain. Yes, ive seen my share of “sexy hot women” who turn arent ...so… hot and sexy. (my friend has had the joy of actually catching one of the game masters (GM, aka people who run the game) pretending to be a girl. But this isnt much of a surprise if you play an asian-based game, sadly (as if asian men dont look like girls already, they gotta actually pretend to be girls). BUT, this post isnt gonna just be me hating on item whores, no. As much fun as that might be. Actually, I find crossdressing (this is a guy and this is a girl) kinda interesting. Ill confess, im a girl who plays a guy character and I have pretended to be a guy before (not to get favors from girls). However, my “kind” is a rarity and ive actually had a friend make the comment “I refuse to believe that a girl is playing a guy unless ive heard them on vent” (vent is a voice chat program). Hah, I made him eat his own balls. Anyways, this has led me to wonder, am I really alone? Sadly, Ive actually never met another girl who plays guy characters beside myself. And this has led me to want to know why is it that there arent as many girls playing guys as there are creepe- er I mean guys, playing girls. Am I just weird? So I manned up (haha pun) and went around various forums and asked, why would people play the opposite sex? Now, ive kinda already had a list of reasons put together (for guys mostly..) and as one of my friends said, the top of the list is “PHAT LOOT”. Aka, guys play female characters so they can fuck with other guys into giving them items, paying for things, and doing favors. Douche baggery for the win? I mean you kinda have to realize that people who play video games are….not as socially ….gifted (I mean look at me, talking to new people face to face scares the shit out of me). So when a cute girl practically flings herself onto their e-penis, you can only imagine a little nerdy boy yelping for joy, thanking the gods, and putting away their mail order bride applications because THEY are getting laid tooo NIGHT. Ah, hah. No.. Put away the lotion. Yah, because her web cam apparently “broke” when you decided to ask to chat with her. I know countless cases where a guy gives everything (even real money), only to realize their sweet heart has a little something extra. This kinda proves how human kind is, well, human kind. We are greedy and even in a virtual world where nothing has any real REASONABLE value, we still want want want. So pretty much, guys pretend to be girls to scam other guys. Would it be right to question their sexuality? Sure, be my guest. End of story. JK. Theres more. The next most popular reason ive heard, which only proves guys are pigs (jk =P ) is the classic statement “if im gonna be starting at the computer screen all day I rather be staring at a girl”. Theres not much to say about this. Everyone knows that video games are male dominant and of course to appeal to that audience, they make female characters look like Barbie. My response? WELL, If IM going to stare at the screen all day then I wanna look at a guy character. Nuf said. So make more sexy men characters! Though Ill quickly comment that, Ive discovered that these two reasons mostly happens in asian games. A lot of players in the western games, I surveyed, were kinda appauled to think that people are switching genders. I remember once I was playing a guy and told his guy that I was a girl and he freaked out, and I replied that I was just kidding (since he nearly had a bitch fit) and his response was “THATS NOT FUNNY. DONT KID AROUND LIKE THAT. ITS WRONG” (jesus, calm the fuck down). But I think this kinda attributes to a cultural thing, because cross dressing between men AND women, in asia, is actually more apparent and accepted. Where as in the west (particularly America), …not so much (what are you! Gay??? Lesbian??….sigh). Moving on. Pretty much the comments were consistent; “I like boobies, blah blah blah” but a couple of them stood out. A lot of players responded with “I dont know why I just do” but some made the comment that they feel like the male characters are just too unbearable (as guys themselves) or that some classes they thought that the costume on the female were better or the class just fit a female character better. Okay thats legit, and I kinda give props to guys like that. This reason is pretty simple and not much to expand upon. (Okay the feminist inside is just like, fuck that they just dont wanna sound like douche bags, they likes the boobies). So, Ive talked a bit about the guys’ reasons, what about girls who play guys? Ill start off, personally, I just want to play the damn game. I used to play as a female character and I got spams from horny guys who wanted my photo in trade for some gear. Honestly, people latch onto you if youre a girl. And I just got tired of this, so I played a guy. NO ONE bothered me. It was awesome, and I could make friends without them expecting some hot lovin (no…just no, get away from me foo). But. Why didnt I get girls hanging over me if guys do that to girls? I think its because in society (eastern and western) there is a notion that the guy must make the first move. I mean sure, Ive had girls flirt with me thinking that, them telling me about being sad and lonely for a “fwend” :< boo hoo *sniff sniff* <3 love !!11 ^.^ is gonna make me want to start giving them attention. But generally, the guy makes the move. No move no girls choaking on your....PIXIE STICK. But yah, no one gives a damn about you if youre a guy (unless youre popular and or have a cute photo posted somewhere). WHICH, I actually like. I dont want messages from creepy guys asking for a “good time”. Yes theres the occasional spammage from a girl who thinks she can *snuggle* my +10 Double Bloody Double Penetration main gauche out of my hands (no pun intended). But generally, you get to play casually as a guy. And hey I like my eye candy too. The only other reason Ive heard from a girl, as to why they play male characters is because of the sexism. My friend particularly hates how Bloodelfs are anorexic and either picks the more normal looking characters, or just goes male. This is kind of a big deal for girls in video games. But the fact is just this, games are for guys. They are made for guys, designed for guys, advertised for guys. Heck the only game advertised for a girl is Barbie Pet Rescue, and you cant really fault the companies. Ive seen many people just bash on companies, saying theyre sexist and demand a change, but honestly, 99% of players are male. Its just not smart to go with what a majority of your players DO NOT like. Im not saying, “go sexism!” No. I just saying, people need to stop complaining about every little thing that’s unfair. As Ive learn in pre-school, Life's not fair. Hey, if girls want more video games to be targeted at them, then STOP COMPLAINING. Start playing video games, make the female population grow and maybe they’ll start putting in some nice man candy for the girls. MORE GIRLS IN GAMES! LET OUR BOOBIES- er PRESENCE BE SEEN! Okay this was hellishly long, and I KNOW Ive missed several things but I have to end this as my eyes slowly start to bleed. Plus my sexy male bloodelf is calling me. :D posted by GOTOMonster @ 1:11 PM On Friday, September 4, 2009 at 1:11 PM
