It should be noted that when it comes to women piloting mechs they are usually wearing a tank top, a pair of short shorts, boots, a coolant vest and a neural helmet. This isn't to be sexy, but because it is stupidly hot inside of a mech.

Also, there is this if women are looking for objectification of men:

Drat, Mason! That drawing of a man makes me feel insufferably inadequate about who I am and how I look! I better hit the gym or something. :(

I demand that the devs immediately start objectifying women to avoid any perception of gender based political bias!

Masculine or femuline, on the battlefield it doesn't really matter. I did a very short stint with the CAF and my best CO was a woman and also my worst CO was a woman. Although the most of the male CO's I had were not much better then that last female CO. It is nice to see though that things are getting away from trying to just tailor games to the teenage hormones of little boys.

Who cares? We are not here to be feminists or maninists ( :( ), we are here to play Mechwarrior online and conquer the IS!

Take this stuff somewhere else thanks.

I love that the Cappie logo has been painted over. Clearly salvage.

I've often seen men playing female characters in the same way they would play guys.


So you'd rather play a TT game with a few guys role-playing women, and being good at it?

Is there some reason people can't create characters of a different gender than their own... ? Have you ever read a book? :(

Why is that guy wearing a belt with his thong? Does that strike anybody as odd? Seems a touch formal...

Create a character?! Yes. Play a character of a different gender while trying to be as realistic as possible? Akwaaaaard ...
