    You know, I have played many female characters in MMOs, and have only been hit on a couple of times. Maybe it's my hairstyle?

    Um, in case you missed it in the OP, it is a private company that is enforcing the policy in its own games.  It has nothing to do with "China".  Someone saying no dudes playing chicks in our game has nothing to do with "China" abusing the privacy of "its" citizens.

    It doesnt matter, this crap would only happen in countries like china.

    What is a "country like china"?

    Fight this? It's their game, they get to do what they want with it. I do agree it sucks, though. Isn't nerds parading around as something they're not the very essense of an MMORPG?

    I play both and I've never been hit on either.  Though I also make it pretty clear that I'm a dude. I also don't roleplay.  The women I know say they have so they stick to male characters. 

    None of this even matters to us in the states as this type of banning would never happen.  Showing video proof that you're a girl?  Honestly these people and people like that need to be shot in the face.

    Lucky i'm short, fat and hairy so I can play a Dwarf when the next good MMO game comes along... Might be that long coming I may have to play an undead character though.

    Be paid for Beta Testing, don't pay to Beta Test.

    If you really have to ask that question, I suggest you start reading newspapers, or watching the news on a regular basis.

    I don't role-play, but I don't make a point of my actual gender either. I have to question whether women gamers actually have a big problem with this.

    Which newspapers or television news should I watch so that I may be properly informed?  Chinese news?  US news? French news? Russian news?

    Some do some don't.  I didn't say all.  Just as not all male players are weeaboo scrubs foaming at the mouth when a female avatar shows up.

    No, he named two countries.  Doesn't really explain any similarities between the two.

    UH - there's more similarity than them just being two countries.

    Sometimes I despair of the Human race.

    Do you even play an MMO or did you just join to mess with the people that do? -.-

    I've been rather inactive of late, but I have definitely played and am planning to shoehorn some time out of my schedule to get active again. I have active subscriptions to several MMORPGs (WoW, FFXI, EvE, DAoC). I play mostly male characters, but I've rolled up females now and again.

    Why is pretending you're nonhuman just fine, but pretending you're another gender isn't? I will admit that misleading someone about what you're like in RL isn't nice (and that's not limited to gender), but your game identity is your game identity, and only idiot draws RL conclusions from it.

    Ok we can start with the human rights issue, then move on to the freedom of the press. after that dont worry, theres still plenty of crap that wouldnt fly in europe anymore.

    I'm not defending anything.  Just pointing out that brainless chest-thumping nationalism really has nothing to do with some game company trying to enforce some stupid policy in regards to gender matching avatars in their own game.

    Yep, looks like. Seems like you're the only one who sees anything wrong with it.
