Default Change "God walking amongst mere mortals" to "goddess" for female characters
Its just not fair for us girls who've gotten the title for everyone to think we're gods when we're goddesses and should be addressed as such!

I don't want anyone to think I'm anything but a goddess, and this title as it stands seems to indicate I'm some sort of sick man who plays female characters and the game can see through it.

I ask you, how could you not want this title to properly reflect even your *characters* gender?

Theres no girls on the internet.

I don't see why they shouldn't do this. For the French translations, they have to do both forms for titles, such as the feminine and masculine forms of "Cartographer".

Selket, you already have an outpost named after you, and now you want more?
Some girls just can't be satisfied...

This is dumb. No. It's a minor quip, and it's not incorrect anyways. It is completely ok to call a female god, a well...god. Goddess is a female god, yes, but God in itself is not a male term. Go read a dictionary sometime, at no point is the word male used. God is a gender neutral term, with Goddess just being a term created to refer to female gods by the Greeks and other related peoples in their languages.

It's actually kind of like Actor and Actress. Actress is a way to call actors who happen to be female, but it's completely correct language wise to call them actors.

There is nothing wrong here.

Don't you dare. If you dared refered to me as god instead of goddess I would smite you, with divine fury. It is not ok to address me as anything but goddess, because that is what I am. And the fact that I grace your presence is reason enough for you to get on your knees and worship me.

To call me god would be an insult, as you'd be confusing me with an inferior being.

Oh avi, quit pretending to be a girl. Just because you have a female character doesn't make your MAN PARTS GO AWAY.

Jennifer, just because I am the prettier of the two us does not mean you have to jealously accuse me of being something I'm not.

Stop trolling your own thread.

Oh please, keep our private life out of this thread.

You weren't even sober at the time of this incident so your testimony is meaningless and entirely untrue.

They're quotes of the movie Anchorman. Has nothing to do with gender.
