This has just come up in the City of Heros beta.
Some guy (maybe?) just got bent out of shape because another guy was playing a female character.
I play female characters sometimes (online and in Pen and Paper)just because. That's one reason I probably like the Tombrader games as much as I do. I don't roleplay that much, and if someone starts "flirting" I will mention that I am a guy in real life. I would never flirt with people on-line. What if it is a girl, but some underage kid? Could be a much more rude awakining than finding out that a hot female elf was a guy...
It's escapism. It's a game. It is roleplaying. If you are a guy and want to pick up a girl, get out from behind the computer and go look for one.
