Who wants to double date using zero Alpha male and Beta female? I'm down O 3 O

It's a game, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you're having fun and not act like a jerk. And the people who make a big deal out of it just needs to calm down and stop overreacting. Who cares about one's sexuality/preference? It doesn't do any harm and it's none of their business.

I feel sorry for the male players that gets crap for playing female characters. Half of my main characters are male because I think some of the male styles are cute and no one has ever had a problem with girls playing male characters.

@IntDit : Well, many people think that I'm a guy for some funny reasons o-o They're like um, are you a guy? I just lol at them xD Idk, but apparently where I play, people think that it's weird for a female to play a female character perhaps?

@deadlifts:
what the hell are you talking about? Who is that anyway? Who are you to start talking trash to me anyway? You don't even know me. You're the one that got all upset and butthurt over what i said. Which is why you even resorted to call me that horrible name. I am sure if it was vice versa you would be a tad offended as well. Anyone would be. My original post wasn't trying to offend you. I was merely stating that there was nothing to stare at in MS. You could have just said I rather look at girl avatars not in a sexual away though. Then be done with it. However, you escalated and took major offense to what i stated.

I like making females because their styles/aesthetics are better than guys for the most part.
I used to make females because their equips were cheaper.
On classes with a lot of equips, I'd just make a guy.

[quote=Teryu]I resepect your point, but your last sentence bothers me.
A lot.[/quote]

I apologize for the offense. I would mean to say I'm not comfortable playing female avatars and I have alot more fun playing as a male.

[quote=froogle]@IntDit Depends on what you consider manly. That's going to mean something different to everyone, so to some people, yes playing female characters makes men less manly.[/quote]

Point taken, but this is a game. There are people that believe playing games in general is childish, but I know the maple community would disagree with that. The way I look at it, maplestory is a game, and shouldn't have to be governed by the social standards that our real lives are. There should be no stigma around the choices we make is all I'm saying. I'm not bothered by people being upset that I play a female character, but not everyone is okay with that. And it takes away from someones gaming experience when you trash talk them and call them obscene words. You don't even know this person. As you said however, its going to mean something different to everyone.

[quote=Lathien]@Gildarts: ...If it's okay if a girl marries a girl, then, why can't guys marry other guys? That's just UNFAIR. [/quote]

Here is how i view it. I know its just a virtual game, but I sometimes visualize it realistically. Suppose you see two girls in real life who are best friends. One is Casandra and the other is Kumi.
Casandra: " Hey girlfriend want to have a sleep over in my house?"
Kumi: " OMG casandra sure I totally don't have homework this weekend, how about saturday?"
{So the two girls Casandra and kumi walked happily together holding hands to Casandra's house for the slumber party}

Now for the guys { lets name them Michael and Chris}
Michael: " Ey waddup boyfriend wanna have a sleep over in my crib?"
Chris: " Hell yeah brah, I didn't f{k}n finish my hw but f{k} it let's have a slumber party muthaf{k}a, how about during 420?"
{ so the two guys Michael and Chris walked happily together holding hands to Michael's house for the slumper party}

the end

@SerenadeBass: "go end yourself" "treat everyone with respect" HIPOCRISY MUCH? I wouldn't dare say 1/5th of the stuff I say to my male friends that I would to my female friends. Clearly you don't know how common society is structured. Boys/men tease and joke around with one another in a way that you just DO NOT dare to say to a women. Go play tranni plz and leave your ignorant comments on someone elses post.

[quote=Omniscient1]Explain why you so butt hurt over what I said. I pushed a button of yours obviously. You still haven't explained how does one being attracted to game toons a p3dphile. You do know there adults that play this game right? You do know video games do not have ages right? You do no these games arn't real right?[/quote]

Why did you even take my post so seriously? If I pushed a button then perhaps you feel guilty of something? Perhaps something you don't want Chris Hansen to know?
Anyway I just meant that I'm attracted to sexy and cute is not sexy. However, it doesn't mean I don't like to stare at cute things. (puppies, kittens?). And if I'd choose it'd be female avatars not male in this game. Happy?

I make female characters based on two things, whether or not the canon is female and/or whichever gender has the better defaults.

As far as guys playing girls go, if you're into that then who am I to judge?

[quote=Gildarts]Sounds okay girl marrying a girl, but not guys![/quote]

I hope you're joking...

@IntDit Depends on what you consider manly. That's going to mean something different to everyone, so to some people, yes playing female characters makes men less manly.

[quote=Gildarts]I don't know how you guys do it. For some reason I can't use a female character whatsoever. I tried one time using a mercedes. Oh wait nevermind it's a guy but looks like a girl. So then I deleted it even though its registered as male ( its the looks ). I guess I'm just too manly and straight to use a female avatar.[/quote]

I resepect your point, but your last sentence bothers me.
A lot.

@Omniscient1: k

[quote=deadlifts]@Omniscient1: lol I'm not gonna read the wall of text but you seem upset[/quote]

You're the one upset and if you're too stupid to take time to read a paragraph then don't bother to talk stupid crap out of your ass. You're the one being upset bc I somehow made you butt hurt over what I stated. Explain how does one attracted to game toons a p3dophile? That makes absolutly no sense at all. Games don't have ages and in order to be a p3dophile you must be attracted to children under the age of 13.

[quote=Lathien]I'm a girl and I married a girl on a guy chara.

(I asked her if she could make the guy chara so I could marry someone on my Luminous that wasn't a stranger.. f3..)[/quote]

Sounds okay girl marrying a girl, but not guys!

But having a female character doesn't make me any less manly does it? Or the countless other people who play it. What about the females that play male characters?

@Omniscient1: lol I'm not gonna read the wall of text but you seem upset

[quote=CherryTigers]I like to make angelic bursters and make the excuse that they are gender locked.

OT: It doesn't matter to me. I just find it very rude to pretend to be a girl and gold dig other guys.[/quote]

For once, I totally agree with your opinion. Thumbs up for you, D.

[quote=1kevqn]It's very pathetic[/quote]

Can you expand on why you think its pathetic?

@deadlifts: You are taking way too much offense over what i said. First of all. why you so butt hurt over what I said? Second of all did I ever say i was attracted to game toons? No, so what you said doesn't even make any sense. Thirdly, how does one being attracted to game toons make someone a p3dophile? You even know the definition of that word? I bet you don't. You prob throw that word out just like how everyone uses swag for every stupid comment to look cool. Let me explain to you p3dophile means being attracted to girls or guys under age of 13. That's p3dophile. Last time I checked video game characters do not even have an age. In fact they arn't real people. Again you spouting stupid crap out of your ass. Lastly, why so you butt hurt again over what I said? I never even said there was a problem with people playing girl toons. You said you wanted to stare at something cute. Thus, I stated that there is nothing to stare at on Maple like other games are. No need to complain about what I said lol.

@deadlifts
YES! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
You surely do know awesome tastes. PROPS.

I don't know how you guys do it. For some reason I can't use a female character whatsoever. I tried one time using a mercedes. Oh wait nevermind it's a guy but looks like a girl. So then I deleted it even though its registered as male ( its the looks ). I guess I'm just too manly and straight to use a female avatar.

[quote=Gildarts]It's okay and all as your avatar being a different gender. But it would really suck if a guy, for example, proposes a marriage to you, because you happen to be using a female avatar, but your actually a guy in real life. It's a let down. This happened to me once and I actually prefer people using avatars as their gender. Sometimes people might change their genders to trap their husbands or wifes in game.[/quote]

I'm a dude and I married a dude.
He knows very well that I'm a dude.
We're not homosexual nor bisexual, but I guess it's just for the lulz.

But I'm definitely against nekama.

[quote=SerenadeBass]Well for the longest time, you couldn't tell if someone was female or male if they were a pirate wearing a Scar/Targa.

Please end yourself. You should be respectful to everyone not just females. Thats sexism in itself. Furthermore, if you can't respect your own gender, how do you expect people to respect you?[/quote]

Lol your a funny one. You see I like to joke around with my buddies and be a DB to them sometimes but we know were only messin with eachother, on the other hand I wouldn't say anything near close to what I say to them to a girl. Learn how society works you LGBT supporting troll

Just don't marry male characters. It'd just be way too confusing cause then it's like well you're a guy on a female character marrying a male character, and who knows if that person's actually male or female, and do they know if you're male or female, and does that become gay then or straight, or some kind of pansexual, or bilingual, or whatever...

totally acceptable as long as they're not using the cute LG image to flirt with other ppl and get free stuff
PS: guy avatars can look just as good*

@Omniscient1: you're a strange dude if you associate cute with "attracted". perhaps p*dophile?

@Teryu: yeah bro, I have some white haired pixel chars too, they look like those fantasy anime characters which are awesome

[quote=Wolfss]It doesn't even matter what my character wears anyways. When I am playing a female character, people still question my gender (of even the female character even when wearing a female only item) and when I am playing a male character, people question the same thing... Since 05 people have been asking, "Wait are you a girl? Are you a boy?" Even people I have known for years have asked me recently and got the shock of their life apparently..[/quote]

I guess I am just that androgynous even in a game XD

edit: i meant to edit not quote o-o;

It's okay and all as your avatar being a different gender.

I think it's okay as long as you tell others you're a G.I.R.L. before you have serious conversations with them.

@deadlifts
Ahahahaha good that I'm wearing badass clothes!
I'd love to go all-out-pink but I don't have money... So meh...

NixON I need boy clothes on my girl characters which is all of them but yes I want those cool shirts oka!

Also I feel slightly confused whenever I see a dude playing a girl character because I'm a girl and I like girls and then the dude's like "yo I'm a girl" but then sometimes not and also sometimes we're just roleplaying characters and it gets really confusing.

@deadlifts: Then why do you want to stare at something in maple? What's the point? Usually when people want to stare at game toons is bc they are "attracted" to it.

On alot of 3D games, guys play the female characters because those games tend to show a lot of skin for female avatars XD Especially the lack of proper proportions in the breast and ass regions. How would that make a guy gay? Same concept for MS, it doesnt make you gay, or have anything to do with sectuallity. Female characters have good stuff about them, and so does males. It is a matter of preference. And even IF the guys play because they like to be feminine or whatever, SO THE FUDGE WHAT. I am pangender so I will play whatever the hell I want :O

I'm a female who played a male F/P. People hardly ever consider THAT. :1

[quote=Teryu]I'm male, I play female character too.
I even smega here and there that I'm a male and I stream on twitch.tv and upload on YouTube with my face stuck in the video.

GET OVER IT, PEOPLE.[/quote]

Ever since I saw you on rankings I assumed you were a dude. Your character just looks way too badass to be a girl in real life.

"all high leveled maplers are guys"
wowowow where is this punk, i need to end him
girls can sit at hoh until they're 210 just as good as guys

I want girl face/hair and boy clothes nixoN pls can you just make every equipment unisex

Pretty much as everyone stated, it's just personal preference and harmless. Unless you're literally riding on some 13 year old guy who really wants your pixels, it boils down to preference. People can hate on you all they want, but in the end it wont change anything. Your preference will net you your own friends, while those haters will have their own friends.
Don't let those accusations do anything for you, play what you want. I always preferred making a male character, but honestly, it's quite unfair. The range of nice looking male things compared to female things is pretty bad.
As long as your intentions of a female character was for self preference, it really doesn't matter.

I'm male, I play female character too.

[quote=xtripled]oh hey, it's @1kevqn's fav topic

honestly, if you're comfortable enough with your sexuality then go ahead, if you enjoy the game more that way then it's fine[/quote]

lol i remember.

Well, isn't the point of a game to be able to do stuff you can't do in real life? I mean, we don't just run around heavily armed and steal cars, just to drive into the ocean and die, but end up respawning in real life do we? That's part of the charm of games (that was referencing GTA series...I think.), plus it's a role playing game. MMO[i][b]RP[/b][/i]G. You should really get into the role of being a character in the game (unless you made a female character to gold dig. If so, stop it. There are A.) Kids. B.) People actually looking for love (people actually do get into relationships over MMORPGs.) C.) People who don't give two craps. Besides, you you like getting scammed out of all your items/possessions/money ingame, or even IRL? Didn't think so.) hence the whole role playing in the title. Mmk. I'm done.

TL;DR : Doesn't matter really. It's a game.

I have a male CS, but the rest of my characters are female. I don't see problem with playing different gender characters, as long as you.. as everyone else has said.. take advantage of it

I like to make angelic bursters and make the excuse that they are gender locked.

OT: It doesn't matter to me. I just find it very rude to pretend to be a girl and gold dig other guys.

I don't really care. I have made male characters before because I got bored of seeing my female character all the time~

Well for the longest time, you couldn't tell if someone was female or male if they were a pirate wearing a Scar/Targa.

[quote=KyleHeII007]My Opinion: ANNOYING AS HELL. 1. People either use it as a false persona and take advantage of it to get free stuff from gullible rich desperate nerds. 2. You don't know how to treat them. I'm 10x more respectful to female PLAYERS then males. If you wanna play tranni go ahead, aside from being an AB youre making a fool out of yourself imo.[/quote]

Please end yourself. You should be respectful to everyone not just females. Thats sexism in itself. Furthermore, if you can't respect your own gender, how do you expect people to respect you?
