not a martian, honestreading through some old Knights of the Dinner Table strips I came across a few instances where people had problems with players playing characters of a different gender than their own.
Now I know #kotdt is satire, but satire often contains some truth. was this an issue for some people in the 90s? is that an issue for people now?
Games People Play@kyonshi Please NEVER diss players of genderflip characters, many eggs actually find themselves via roleplaying games, I've seen it happen more than once.
Having said that, while things get awkward when a player gets creepy and pushes advances IC into other players, this would still be true even if player and character matched gender, so the problem here is not a genderflip characters, it's inappropriate creepers with no notion of time or place.
