People are nicer to you in MMOs if you're a female character. Not if they think you actually are a female, just if the character is.

In fact you could tell them you're a male and their cognitive dissonance would kick in to erase the memory.

touhou looks dumb, but i'm not a fan of bullet hells anyway. why are bullets coming out of the anime girls?

also, some peeps are making a game called Virginia featuring 2 female FBI agents as the main characters, and that pleases me

I've watched enough anime to be okay with bullets flying out of women as opposed to some of the things they have going into animated portrayals of our gender

yeah the bullets aren't the issue. I say touhou looks dumb because of the character designs, mostly.

the character designs are fairly impressive because you can recognize most characters off a silhouette if you know them

I do just because I think it would be a really weird affectation to put only male or only female characters in a book or movie or photo album for almost any reason, especially just because you are male or female. I honestly don't understand the reasoning of "I am X, therefore I will play a character who is X" but evidently most people identify a lot more strongly (at all) with their video game characters than I do. I am not an orc or a robotic battle tank either and I don't see the problem there. Sorry for the lack of irony.
