(Hey, now, let’s not stereotype our fellow girl players here, Ropihl! Internalized sexism still counts. :/ )
I love lore in general, and I love charr because I wanted to know more about them in GW1. They’ve done so much for themselves since then, and they’re determined to hang on to what they have, and SO stubborn they just might manage to do it. XD (Seriously, who takes over land haunted by respawning ghosts and says “don’t care, ours anyway”? The charr, that’s who.)
Late reply is late. Sexism wasn’t intended, just guesstimating the reason why other women choose to create human female characters. Gear customization are a fine thing to follow, I would just rather do so on a charr. That’s all. Comment wasn’t even that bad really :P
It may not be “that bad”, but it’s still sexist :p Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if the proportion of women who play humans and the proportion of men who play human are roughly even.
All the furries on here are amusing me…yay stereotype perpetuation
As for why I play Charr – they speak to me on so many levels. Their culture, their atheism, their values, their history, their competitive spirit…don’t forget a nice heaping dose of feminism! The part of a Blood Legion Charr’s personal story where you meet Elexus Shredskin had me dying of laughter. After that there was definitely no looking back. It definitely also helps that their running and fighting animations are awesome, fur colours are much more fun to play with than skin tones, and tails. I love tails.
The only thing I said was that females enjoy making females because they like customization, coloring, clothing design and attempting to represent their RL selves in game. I fail to see how these completely honest, tried and true, no way negative reasons are sexist.
As a fellow female I don’t find it sexest I find it quite honest and true to an extent. I decided to basically make my fursona here. I like the customization and the coloring does effect the way I play the game and the reasons for it. I figure if I’m going to be stareing at a charecter for a long time I should like the way it looks and be able to play with the colors of the clothes and the design of them without haveing to compermise my stats.
