Gay or not Gay?? males playing female toonsFollow

Don't get the wrong idea here, the few times I have kissed a female character, is generally after they have saved my ***. Or the girlfriend of my buddy. I even kissed one guy once, when we came and complete healed me three times to keep me alive. He said "You do know I am guy right?" I said " Yea, sorry I just got carried away, but thank you soooo much." I get pretty excited when the selflessness of others saves me a long CR. Also form a roleplaying standpoint if a stranger saves my life, man or woman I'm kissing them.

Also, it is just a game, if I kiss someone or dance with them, generally it is in med times and is just to get some life into the group. Not because I want some action, thats what the wife is for. So take a pill, "its invasive" give me a break. Next you will be advocating sexual harrasment in EQ.

Fine - but next time instead of hiding cowardly behind religion (or philosopy or science or whatever) tell YOUR VERY OWN opinion and you will most likely get a lot of answers *grin*

True that the second part of your post was that of an open-minded roleplayer somehow.

I do not think the sex of the person playing the character has anything to do with the sex of the character. I played a female druid for a long time. I am not gay.

I group now with some female characters that I know are male's playing them. That does not stop my sometimes perverted dwarf cleric from making a comment from time to time.

This is a game. We are role playing. Part of the fun is playing a certain race/class/sex the we see it fit to be played.

Those who find a sexist comment, a hug or a kiss invasive, rude, etc...get over it. As I said, we are role playing and maybe I want to paly a sexist pig of a character. <Ok, that is if the comment is in character...OOC comments that are a real person's point of view about sex and race is completey different. I peronally am not a sexist pig, but my dwarf is...after all, the women he has to choose from have beards, who wouldn't be! :-) >

Have fun and lighten up. As for you who made biblical references and want to make political/social statements, get lost. This is not the palce for it.

You contradict yourself here friend. All are found wanting... just some more wanting than others?? Are there levels of hell? Some levels less painful than others? Scripture please...

FTR, I am a Christian who believes in hell... just not the hell that many folks conjure up to justify their own bigotry and hate-mongering. Either we all deserve hell or none of us do. Black and white... and the bible is quite clear on this issue.

just to put an end to the whole biblical thing. it does say many MANY times in the bible that none of us on this earth have the right to judge..only God himself. he may say homosexuality is a sin and will not be allowed into heaven, and so are many other things..but he gave none of us the right to make that decision.

what is destroying and de-sensitizing christianity is the people that take half-truths and heresay (instead of biblical reference) and shoving it down peoples throats. if you want to do the "biblical" thing then teach someone how to become saved and then HE will take over from there..in either case, being saved is not an emote in game nor does it relate to this thread (no matter how you or I feel about it)...telling people that being gay is going to make them burn in hell is not going to further any cause God would wish that I can see..

and i'll STILL not play a female character...although dark elf chicks are sexy.

I clearly do not role play Celeni very well. No one has ever given her anything and no one ever hits on her.

I must be doing something wrong?

However, from a roleplaying perspective I think that the occupation of Druid, Shaman and Enchanter are more naturally feminine.

That doesn't preclude a male from being a Druid, its just that he is a more touchy feely type. More in touch with his feminine side perhaps.





Oh and I guess the women who play male Ogre warriors are exercising the more aggressive side of their nature. Something I could see my wife doing quite readily.

My guild has several female character who are in real life openly male. /shock

I don't see an issue here. I think if anyone does then good luck to them.

It's a MMORPG. Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game.

If you are upset because you hit on a sexy wood elf chick and he turns out to be a 50 year old 300lb male in a trailer park in Kansas I think that says more about you than him.

Sure, don't you read any Dante?

*Ding!* Second Floor! Housewares, linens, applicances, those who were consumed by lust, draperies!

And the Darwin award goes to ....

Please.

If you can assume one's sexuality by the gender he or she plays in EQ, either you're a genius or a fool.

If you're on FV, come see me. I'd be happy to share a little plat to buy your *** a clue.

Bah, I misspelled elevator!

Not gay IMHO. Some male gamers like myself play female toons out of mere choice rather than for other reasons. I don't have any regrets playing female characters, I just like to make such characters. If some people have a problem with this, then they probably should see a psychologist.

Although I do not play on the FV server, I can RP both male and female characters real well.
