I see it all the time, especially in third person view where your "camera" is behind the toon or avatar. What dudes want to look at some dude's butt running around all day?

Now those who, in audio comms, run voice changers - that's a little creepy. Would rather have a bunch of "Dr Girlfriend" around.

I now have a desire to use a voice changer to do the "stereotypical kidnapper over the phone" voice. Would be a good laugh at least.

I never buy into the "eye candy" thing. It is some other reason surely, because none of these avatars are physically attractive unless you are messed up in the head or something. Being a chick is just silly to me.


You're just bad with the character creator.


So were you.

Because this line really says it all.

Did you hit on one of us hot looking ladies, only to be shocked when you discover it is just another dude? Roll

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

Because when I signed up in late 08/09, the gallente femmes were much better looking than the guys, who looked feminine themselves.

Also, I don't care what anyone thinks of this, I'd much rather be a woman than a man.

…or, more likely, that if you absolutely have to stare at an avatar for hours on end, it's nicer if it's a female one.

Because at the time there was no Incarna. There was no walking around in stations. In fact, the character creation process was far more basic and simple back then. Gender choice was meaningless back then because all character creation did back then was create a tiny character portrait. Nothing more.

Now we have Incarna and captains quarters. If I had the ability to change my characters gender and race I would. But my choice so many years ago is permanent.

Plus I'm a big fat lady-boy who's into wearing fake boobies, lipstick and high heels.

I was gonna let mine walk around station and get get killed, to satisfy my fellow players, of course.

When I made this character back in the day, the Khanid men all looked like the emperor from Star Wars. ******* terrifying. I don't even remember why I picked Khanid, but I noped when I saw that the guys were all old wrinkly scary men.

because a lot of people would rather stare at a female avatar than a male one. at least, that's the reasoning people use in other games.

For me, I just try to make a beautiful babe. No one gets to see her Icon more than me. Simple as that.

What is creepy is when you get into voice chat in a group and all the female avatars have male voices.
Now that just is not right.
