    I have male toons, but most of mine are female. I'm surprised more men aren't admitting to playing female toons a lot. Like literally almost all the guy friends I have in ESO, they have female toons, some with pretty disproportionate bodies.

    Maybe most just don’t see them as their main? I don’t know. It isn’t that odd to me though. Im old enough to remember a time where in online games if it was a female character 99% chance it was a dude. they all wanted to pretend to be women, so they would get free stuff. But as more girls/women Have joined our gamer ranks things have really evened out. Well except for this chick. Im still a dude.

    Interesting that there's almost as many males playing females as females playing females.

    Would also be interesting to see how many healer toons are female. #genderstereotypes

    Disappointed there was no option for "both" male, and female equally :/

    I am a male, have 7 chars, 2 male, 5 female, but I really just play four of the 7. Sure I play the two males(greatsword/sword & board) I have the most, but I do spend a good amount of time on two of my female chars(both sword/board) also.

    6 male
    8 female

    I usually have an idea of a theme for a character when I make one, usually based on the class, race, sex, etc. I don't particularly prefer characters of any specific sex, though my girls are generally nice to look at. :)

    These poll results are a reflection of male sexual insecurity. Although I think we actually might be improving (I don't think males playing male characters would win out 10 years ago). :tongue:

    I dream of a future where "staring at a male character's ass for 4 hours" isn't "gay". A future where one man can look at another man in a change room without having to briskly break eye contact and repeatedly shout "no ***". A future where caring about how you dress and actively comparing yourself to other men isn't a sign of femininity and sexual attraction to those other men. Basically, men need to get to a stage where they are as comfortable with their sexuality as women are.

    I now have 14 characters (or was it 13?). They're all female except for three. None of the three that are male are human, I guess because I feel weird playing as a male human. I tried playing as a male Nord once, and just couldn't do it.

    There are some articles that tells about this person, not just wikipedia, if you scrolled down, you would have seen a couple of those.

    So yea.

    Not an argument.

    Anyway better stop this, would be disrespectful towards the op, since it would lead to this thread being closed.

    You can believe your fairy tales, just don't force your believes onto me and especially, don;t use the law to force me to do so, because at some point there will be backlash, and there already is some.

    At the end of the day, you won;t win the fight, because you are not in the right.

    There's no "fight." No forcing of "beliefs." Only educational links.

    I don't consider that education.

    More like, don't agree with me, well you are a bigot, hate speech, and all that garbage.

    Because let;s face it, that's what happens when you don't agree with their delusional believes.

    It really seems like you are having a go at other people for being 'delusional'
    far more than the person providing you with links is 'accusing' you of 'bigotry' or 'hate speech'

    The links provided where made by pseudo scientist, one was a journalist, the other was a student.

    Through library databases (especially libraries at college campuses), a simple engine search will yield results directly from academic researchers and scientists. If that is more preferable for you, then you could also go that route.

    Well, sorry, but i have some standards, i won't just take everything that a journalist and a student say for truth.

    Especially since journalist have proven themselves to be not very credible these days, and with all the gender studies academics that there are these days, which are obviously biased, i don't take anything coming from their mouths as credible.




    Again, through library databases (especially libraries at college campuses), a simple engine search will yield results directly from academic researchers and scientists.

    What the hell is “other gender”? You know what, I don’t even want to know.

    Either way, I’m a male that mainly plays male I guess. But I’ve got female characters too, though. Not sure why “male/female that plays both genders” didn’t take precedence over “other gender.”

    Any other gender that isn't male or female, after the last few recent threads about this subject, I do NOT want to hear the complaints of not having those options.

    Considering that (according to Tumblr) there are 71 genders, I can understand the need to narrowing it down for the sake of brevity.

    As for myself, I'm a male who plays male characters.
