Besides, it's much more entertaining to dress the opposite sex up. Nobody can deny this (except of course those who are into the same sex).


what the ******** is this supposed to mean? if you're a guy and you dress a male avatar up that makes you gay?

lol sexual insecurity

No, if you're gay and you enjoy
dressing the same sex avatar.
Either way, it's stupid. XP

[] Well, I guess there are a lot perverts in china cuz of Hentai (I know it's a japanese word, weeaboo'z)? So, they're finding a way to keep the perv level down. idk, I'm trying to find a valid reason for this. xD

I don't care if a guy plays a girl ava or vice versa. Because the internet is full of people who lie about who they are or exaggerate their RL selves.

Although, if you have a girl ava and are a guy, then I'd probably still think you're a girl since there's nothing about your ava/sig/profile that screams "I AM MALE".
Counted the guys just take a random web whore picture and claim it as there own? Or take a picture of their sister/random lady at Walmart? There are ways to get around it easily so it still very ineffective measure against gender-benders.

I found the articles off Google.
You'll have to remember that this was a Chinese MMO, and China is quite a bit more oppressive when it comes to the people.

If Gaia did this, and did it for both genders...I would probably quit. This is an originally role-playing site, which gives you the freedom to do almost whatever you want. Including playing your opposite gender.

In a more recent take on men playing women in video games, the author makes some broad generalizations, including that men like watching their lithe female avatars from behind, or that "a man would want to play a female character is often evidence enough for many in the online community to label someone a homosexual."

I lol'd beyond normal loling
standards.

And this adds another reason to be glad that I´m living in a democracy.
that's dumb I like to be both xd

          I wouldn't want to have to prove my gender to play a game with a certain avatar. If it
          banned people from playing as the opposite gender (both male as females and
          females as males) then I would get one of my friends to come over and act as though
          he was me. xDDD I'm not using a female avatar. I wouldn't be able to confuse people
          with my sexual avatars that look like girls.

That's pretty lame neutral

My main is a female, but my main mule is a male. I just think it's fun to be able to dress up both.
Given that Gaia allows you to change your avatar's gender AFTER you create an account, I don't think that'd be an issue.
Gaia tends not to think things through, eg. the overseer still appears when you play Booty Grab, even though he's supposed to be defending the world from evil xD

But I'd GTFO4SRS if they implemented that.

How horrible! That's pure sexism. I hope the company gets sued. That's one MMO I'll never play.

I often play my own gender but I have a male mule. It's fun to be the other side sometimes. biggrin
That's horrible. I would never play, purely because I prefer not to show my picture.
