Why only male players?

Why only male players?

What do you say to the swarm of posts that want only females to play female players?

This OP stands out purely because it's not a thinly veiled dating attempt it actually held a male bias in the title...

it was an old thread from a

it’s an old thread from a few years ago and when i redid the thread on a new one i just did not change the title i did not mean to be bias to anyone

You're doing fine. It seems clear to me that you don't hold the bias that portions of the section has, namely, that real world gender == roleplay gender competence.

Yeah, you should. A penis is not required to play a male character.

I say exactly the same thing, actually. I've made several posts about it in the past. You know that because you've liked my posts on the matter in the rp discussion section of the forum. The only reason this post "stuck out to me" is that today was the first day in months that I actually skimmed through the interest checks. None of the other posts I clicked on mentioned such a blatant inability to distinguish between player and character. I also do not think that a vagina is required to play female characters, full stop.

You're good. Thanks for fixing it. I hope you find loads of people to RP with. Consider it dropped. :)

I just hope no one thinks I was being bias I wasn't at least I was not trying to make it sound that way

You've done fine on that count, in my book - there are other posts on page 2 and beyond of 1x1 interest checks (they were recently at the front, but actually been knocked off the first page) that would legitimately earn my ire.

In this case, it seems odd to single you out, because while I agree with where he's coming from - you're not the problem. Other posts in this section, yes, do make it clear that they want player = character gender.

You want a male character, which for a time was a rarity, and so the male focus was slightly refreshing at first glance. I didn't consider there to be a heavy bias towards the roleplayers actually being male.

Consider the affair a non-issue, carry on, and continue preparations for the ball that will spout more IC drama.
