[quote=@Drache]I think Nemaisaire is the only one who gave a somewhat halfway reasonable excuse in that maybe someone who is a chick who has a real life dude partner might not want to RP with other dudes because their real life partner would get jealous, which isn't sexism on the RPers part, just some enabling of sexism in their real life partner. (And they should totally get out of that relationship because WTF!)[/quote]

Agree with the general gist of your post ('just play whatever the hell you want, sex doesn't matter') but I strongly disagree with this, especially the last part. I don't feel it's sexism nor do I feel it's 'strange' or even anything close to that to be jealous if your partner writes with males/females. Especially considering that the roleplays that state, blandly, 'MALES ONLY PLZ!' or 'FEMALES PLZ!' typically are not just your average slice-of-life RP. It's not just me typing out a story about Hank and Bob going to the store. Let's be real about that, too. The people asking for a specific sex are generally there to write smut. And that doesn't really equate to 'but I watch porn, surely writing smut with a 3rd party is OK!?!' because this is interactive and includes a third party. 

And yeah, to be real, I can kinda understand getting jealous at that. Jealousy is a normal human emotion. Especially if said partner isn't a roleplayer and/or writer and thus doesn't really understand either way. 

So yeah, can totally relate to thinking it's stupid for demanding a certain sex for your partner. But then I also think it's really stupid to instantaneously go 'reee sexism' just because someone would prefer to RP with a woman or man. Seriously, it's not that serious.


ALSO, I'm straight, and I am perfectly fine with writing with males or females. Or whatever else is out there today. It doesn't impact the RP. Not sure how my sexual preference ties into this, though. 


ALSO2, I think writing 'I wanna RP with women because it gets my rocks off' should be a perfectly valid reason to RP with women only. Not your business who I do and don't write with.
