Great RPer? Not really.

So this one is gonna be kind of short but it's been brewing for awhile. There's a type of RPer out there that we've all seen, the male RPer that plays nothing but or predominantly plays female characters. I'll go on record as saying yes, I do play some female characters. I used to play more but I find myself playing them less and less anymore. Anyway, I honestly don't have a problem with males that RP female characters. My problems comes with the guys that RP female characters and consider themselves great RPers but only play lesbians.

My problem with this is simple, it's not a stretch to RP. You're a guy, you like women, and now so does your character. So, why role a woman? Oh right, you don't wanna have to look at a male character all day. Honestly this type of RPer has like zero respect from me. They're partially responsible for the groups of bad lesbian RPers you find hanging out in most games anymore. 20 lesbian characters hanging out in one area and of them maybe 1 is actually played by a chick. My respect goes to guys who RP female characters and RP straight relationships. This is where being a good RPer comes in to play. I've run in to some guys that play really convincing chicks and I've run in to some that make me wanna punch them in the face.

Honestly the more I RP the more these poor RPers grate my nerves. There are, of course, other types of bad RPers out there and I'm very likely to write about them at some point but for now we'll stick with the male lesbians.
