I often play RPGs as a female character, as a means of stepping outside of myself and actually, you know, role-playing. But I seldom play online games, and do not try to convince anyone that I’m a woman irl.
Still, it’s interesting how people assume that because I’ve chosen to spend my game time watching a female avatar run about, I must be a woman. I’ve been in some sticky situations, but none thus far involving anyone claiming to be lesbian.
