I've never thought about it until Pewter posed the question, but I have to say I've never experienced sexism either way. Maybe it's too easy to play the sex that you aren't; there's no point in insulting a honkin' big orc brute when he very well might be played by a 20-something coed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041140959859966193.post-22135613070128075902010-08-23T17:26:28.665+01:002010-08-23T17:26:28.665+01:00@Pewter

For me, personally, I feel that these different spheres intersect, especially when we talk about gender. It might be worth thinking about how homophobia and expectations of men to be 'manly' (or macho, as you put it) might be problematic.Pewterhttp://mentalshaman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041140959859966193.post-64717792359512393402010-08-23T13:25:50.059+01:002010-08-23T13:25:50.059+01:00I can't tell you how many characters I've ...I can't tell you how many characters I've taken through the Barrens and never noticed that Sergra had different responses. Of course, I have only one male character, and he's a BE, so he never had any cause to go get quests from Sergra. I may send him her way tonight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
