Before I throw this out there. Please know that this is solely intended for lighthearted, intelligent discussion. Its not meant to come off as sexist, exclusive, or pariaous. I just find it interesting.
I have a player on my friends list..whom has been with me from the start. This player has a female specific player name...and has always used a female avatar. Said player recently changed avatar to a male avatar. So I jokingly asked "her" if she was"one of the guys now"? Now I have talked to this player regularly for months now..but the subject of gender never came up..I just always assumed female. Said player informed me that he wasn't a female...and said he uses a female name and avatar because " female players don't get attacked as often". I was blown away!
Anyone else ever done this?
Also...I have always been reluctant to attack & plunder female players..its just ingrained in me as a man. Anyone else feel this way?
I'm not asking for psychosocial evaluations. Just opinions. Is this strategy ethical?
Again not a sexist rant. I am gender equality supportive..in every possible way. But that said..I do not attack female players..except in gvg. It's just something in my DNA that makes it feel wrong. Thoughts?
