I find myself liking both male and female avatars and it has nothing to do with my personal sexuality.

I view the pixels that form our toons as art, and really don't see the toons as any sort of real life representation of the player at all.

I never understood how people do this with pixelated avatars... Obviously that huge ogre in the game isn't in any way representing what the player looks like anymore than that cute little blonde wood elf with a tight little butt.

Still players seem to lose sight of reality here and find it easy to imagine a cute little avatar just might be in some way representing how the player really appears IRL.
