I'm annoyed when I played a female character and people call me "he", but I'm not a "he".

I made male characters on the PTS only to test the gender-locked cosmetics and that's it.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Female characters mostlyMostly female characters, but I do have 3 males (not counting mules). I find most people assume I'm the same sex as my character, but some people use male pronouns for everyone.
I rarely bother to correct people, but sometimes when I do the results can be amusing. Like this conversation:
Me: answered some question or other
Guy on zone chat: Thanks bro!
Me: I'm a girl and you're welcome.
Guy: Thanks lady-bro.
Random other person: If only there was a word for a female brother...PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭EquallyI play both. First two were female (Redguard and Altmer), third (Khajiit) and fourth (Argonian) male, fifth (Redguard) and sixth (Khajiit) female, seventh (Altmer) and eighth (can't remember) male.
But I got a little annoyed the other day when I got called a 'gent', twice in one day. Lol.

curlyqloub14_ESO✭✭✭✭Female characters mostlyAlways female characters.
I don't really get why you'd be annoyed people call you "he" - the gaming community is still predominantly male, it's a natural assumption to make. I also know plenty of females who play only male characters. It's not very logical to assume a player is the same sex as their character. I refer to everyone as masculine unless I know otherwise, and actually find it mildly amusing when people assume I'm a guy.Edited by curlyqloub14_ESO on January 3, 2017 11:21PM1 -

Yeah, I don't really mind either and I don't correct them.
I usually refer to everybody as "they", though, if I don't know their gender.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

✭Still dunno why but when dudes play female characters in game it's weird to me. Especially when they get the super feminine name and dress them as fem as possible. I get you might be role playing but the whole excuse of "if I'm going to be playing I'd rather see a female characters booty" just doesn't jive with me.

✭✭✭✭✭Female characters mostlyIt doesn't usually bother me when people assume I'm male in real life. But what does bother me is the rare occasions when for whatever reason I decided to correct someone and they refused to believe me. I once had someone (not in ESO) get really angry with me, to the point where I actually had to block him, because he refused point blank to believe I was female and kept accusing me of lying and "warning" everyone around not to trust me, saying I was a scammer and trying to manipulate people.
It was weird. We're approximately 50% of the population and it's really not that uncommon to find women on the internet and playing games so I don't understand why it should be so hard to believe, but apparently some people genuinely believe that line about how women never play games.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
