Heya ladies and gents! Many of you may or may not know me as I've been playing on and off for four years now. Some of you may also know that I play a wide variety of characters. I've played every race available to me, some men, some women, some gay, some straight, some indifferent. Some of them having disabilities and some of them not. I just enjoy playing characters that can give me an experience i'll never have IRL.
Recently, i've been making all sorts of new friends and such, and many of them, upon first meeting some of my current characters (Current rotation is two grills and a dude) They assume i'm a female IRL, now this makes it an issue, not for me, but for them. (I personally don't give af what you are IRL) Just today, someone asked if I was a girl IRL, and when I replied with 'No.' They seemed... upset. It turns out they thought I was 'deceitful' for 'acting like a lesbian' (One of my female characters is female, and a lesbian .-. ) And now here I am, wandering if perhaps i'm in the wrong for wanting to experiment with character types. If I'm honest, I never thought of it too deeply... I just enjoyed the idea of creating a wide variety of characters to experience. I've always felt that was what RP was about, creating unique experiences you'll never have the opportunity to have IRL. Idk, let me know what you think!
