I played ragnarok online w/male characters and I'm female and I don't have identity crisis of any kind: I just thought a little bishie boy character would be cute. T__T
and god said unto cain, "wow you're pretty stupid."
It's a role-playing game, heck I'm a guy in real life and I role play as female characters all the time on online, or table-top games... it's actually pretty common... Now when people actually start hitting on me when I'm RPing as a girl... then things get kind of strange...
Ok, before this gets off-topic, it's not a gross thing, it's just a part of playing RPG games...

CR, boys in MMORPG's use female characters to get items and help from other guys they sucker punch by acting cutesy with. ToT;; That's not roleplaying, that's called "using."

That's the sad part about online play. You can never be sure if this girl you're flirting with is actually some 60-year old guy who gets kicks from that sort of thing.
Of course, in Tsukasa's case, at least he's basically innocent. I mean, he really didn't know that he was a she. Until the very end, anyway.

It's amusing that people here seem to think that people do this all the time for ulterior motives.
However, some people just enjoy roleplaying characters of the opposite gender as them. That's about it, actually. o.o; There's nothing really wrong with that.
Budget Zen: When you see something so stupid that your mind goes blank rather than try to rationalize it.
Yea, but the guys trying to swindle you are usually pretty easy to spot... they usually act super super cute and flirt with you all the time... Heh, I once caused my EQ character to commit suicide by jumping down a gigantic pit when I found out my RP girlfriend was a guy in real life... my friends still laugh at me for that.
