To men playing female characters...

[Taryth]

Aside from the fact that it doesn't matter and anyone who draws conclusions about someone because they play a toon of the opposite sex in a video game is retarded . . .I sometimes feel like when I'm talking to female toons, the person assumes I'm being kind only because I think they're female. Which annoys me, because they always throw in an inordinate amount of smilies and such like "girlish" conventions as if to convince you that they're really female. I'm not a fucking moron and you can't work sexual wiles on me through the Internet- though I guess a sex deprived nerd would feel differently.
Some of them could genuinely be women who act bubbly (annoying), but I generally assume most of them are men.

Gena Isadude is pretty cool, though.
