I've said it before and i'll say it again. My redhead pig-tailed hunter is the hottest chick in the game. I'd do me. The guys I play with all run females. We compete on making the most attractive characters. I think the younger players have more issues with it. Perhaps it a psychological post-pubescent fixation on masculinity that they are struggling with. My teen-aged son thinks we are all weird for using female characters. We just find it entertaining. Those that take issue with it will eventually get over it as they age.
