| | | WoW, Gender Confusion
Quote: |
Smirk all you want at Eddie Izzard, but keep in mind that some of your closest gaming cohorts are likely e-transvestites, if they're in to MMOs. A recent study called Gender Swapping and Socializing in Cyberspace revealed that 70 percent of women and 54 percent of men swap their genders when playing online games.
| Majority of women, men swap gender in MMOs - Joystiq
For those of you that have been playing WoW all night and morning in sR's group as the opposite sex, you might want to check yourself in to a psychologist, just to be safe lol.
FYI: This may not be 'news' to those of you within the WoW/MMO community, however I find it interesting that people do that. It speaks volumes about the human psyche.

| | Wow, does this mean i'm nuts?
I used to play PSO all the time with female characters, I even had the smallest asian-look-a-like in the whole PSO universe. Weird though that they saying it's something abnormal, it's just a video game but I guess that makes me crazy. Sometimes female characters are just more fun to play with depending on the game  |

| | | Lol, i've done that - but lol, whatever. When I was still in HS I thought some of the female characters in EQ were hot. Lets see.. play a man that you get to look at all the time.. or a woman in her skimpy armor. Hmmm... what to do what to do.

| | | crazy? no... just interesting... you might be considered crazy if only a few people did this... but check it... 54%... big number... so not crazy...
it speaks that when the physical human body and natural inborn instincts are thrown out the window...
very little, short of some mental differences caused by gender specific traits in the hypothalamus, separates how people will think, feel, and reason short of upbringing or mental dysfunction... The mind inside will change to adapt to the body outside...
