Sigh, no you.... Look here's the thing, there are two major types of gamers when it comes to character creation. There are those who view the character as their avatar, first person, "This is me, I am awesome" So while they have no problem envisioning themselves as an Exo or an Awoken, they can't imagine themselves as the other gender. On the other hand there are those who view their avatar as a separate person, a third person view, "This is Bob/Susie, they are awesome" Since the character isn't actually them they have no problem imagining the character as any race/gender/species. Most people don't sit down and ask themselves, why do I do what I do? So when questioned they can't really explain, so they find a reason that puts them in the best light possible (or least bad light). Most commonly, "I like to stare at female butt more than male butt" Except when questioned most of them don't ever give it a second thought in game, it's just a knee-jerk "I'm not gay" kind of response Have you noticed every time someone posts asking why guys make female characters they almost always claim it can only be because that person is gay/wants to be a woman, etc Yeah, that's where they excuse comes from. In reality we simply approach character creation differently. And there are plenty of subsets within and between the two groups, that isn't meant to be all inclusive. I know people who will play any gender but won't play anything but human, and others who will play any race/species but only their own gender. It's all about the perspective of the player making the character. People just need to stop being so vile just because they don't understand why someone else does things differently.
