Default Political correct characters

But what if the males were slightly better? The male warrior could hit a little harder, the male ranger could shoot a little further, the male could run a little faster (it is my impression that the ladies in this game outrun the lads), the guys with the magic had a little more energy. How would the game-world look?
Playing a female would be harder; so the males were the softies and the girls the real guys.

pardon? now if we were going to do this like that then the girls would be able to deal with DoT better and be able to sprint longer than males. they would be able to multitesk better and so would be able to make better use of shields or maybe even dual wield. i'm not sure where you are getting the energy thing though... are not females meant to be, on average, smarter than guys? is not energy usually attributed to intelligence? so surely Girls would have more energy.

men can deal with trauma better. men can be stronger and faster. women can multi-task better. the have better endurance. they are more intelligent.

its just so much easier to have everyone equal. i mean come on! even Plato reckons that men and women should have the same oppertunities.

I DON'T play female characters because I'd prefer to keep some piece of myself within the game. My hairstyle and skin color tend to be near(-ish) of my rl self.

It's better to KNOW who's the disrespectful assholes as a male than have them surround you as a female.

... though he did not think that there would be many women would rise to the same level (e.g. philosopher-king) as men. But I suppose we can forgive him for that. After all, that was 2000 years ago and he had moved up from the caveman's point of view more than most GW players.

I wish they had different body types for each gender...because the male necro looks like a vulture. (hunched back, anorexic body) I would be a necro if the male wasn't so.... weird.

Warriors- always make a male char. Dunno why... A big hulking behemoth of a warrior running at someone isn't pleasent

Monks- I'll either make male or female.

Everything else... Straight up female. Gotta look at something hot when I'm playing.

I wonder, if the game had only ugly females in it, would guys bother playing as them?

I wouldn't ... but is there anything wrong with that?

If you liked blue armor and hated red armor would you buy red dye for your armor? Of course not.

I am a male, and I have 3 male characters and 1 female character. I use the males for eye candy and the female because she gets waaay more respect than the males.

R/Mo - Female
Me/N - Male
W/Me - Male
PvP - Always a male
