Gender Change on TR

[Irinis]

Asked for this several times since I realized it wasn't possible. My old main on Thelanis will never be WF in any TR.

[AyumiAmakusa]

Yes please.

[AyumiAmakusa]

someone is either overly sensative OR doesn't get jokes.

looks at the poster.. oh <3

I had the same exact response. Lol.

As an overweight woman, I find the term "fat chick" highly offensive. It's not about joking or having a sense of humor as some suggest, it is about being kind to other people. OP post reported for rude and harassing speech terms.

+1 to you for that one HAX, and I really never thought I would have a cause to say that.

Seconded.

As an overweight man i find his comment rather hilarious. It is about joking and have a sense of humor, if you are sensative to the extent that someone using a general comment in jest offends you then perhaps you should be looking inside and not outside for a solution to your insecurities. I don't blame HaX for stuffing the food down my throat or for strapping into a chair where is it for hours on end being lazy and playing video games. I blame myself and perhaps you should as well, blame yourself. If you have a medical condition that created the weight management issues then you can't fault us for that either because i'm sure MOST of us don't know who you are or what you look like.

Now back to the original issue...

I think having the option to have a sex change at TR is a great idea...some people have created characters of specific gender that they have grown unfond of. Sometimes tastes change and if you invest that amount of time you should be able to change what you feel you need or want to change to continue enjoying the game.

As for HaX playing a female character...whatever floats your boat...it's your account play it how you want to.

Okay say I make a female drow because they look prettier than the big-nosed male ones right?

I should be able to change my gender when I TR, so like if I made a dwarf or something I could look mean instead of like.. a fat chick.

Either that, or change what Kruz says to

When the ritual is complete you will be born anew at level 1, with no equipment, ready to face the challenges of Xen’drik. Before I burn your old level 20 body, except the private parts, to ash to feed to my tree, I will place all of your level 20 character’s equipment , bound or otherwise, in a special deposit box at the House Kundarak bank (I promise I won’t take anything, your meager belongings are of no interest to me). This special deposit box is called the “Reincarnation Cache.”

makes it more honest

*EDIT* +1 to the guy above me.

So no one seems to have been offended by the "big noes" comment that actually hits on a few ethnic and racial stereotypes. . . including Drow apparently? Interesting, but lets keep moving along. Were people offended that h4x described dwarven women as fat, as chicks, or both in conjunction? The big noes bit actually starts delving into stereotyping. . . barely but if you were going to grill him this would seem the most logical place to start. Describing female dwarves as fat, well that's just more an issue of semantics and lexicon which is generally far less offensive then a whole load of other things.

Literally, ALL the dwarf women in DDO are the same size simply because the character designer does not allow the player to change the character model. . . I suppose if you TR'd one a whole bunch of times you might start to get a noticeable impact on the height to width ratio but h4x has yet to claim that he finds 3 TR'd dwarven women more attractive than a 28pt build female dwarf so we can ignore that detail. In other words, it's seems a bit preposterous to hold H4x accountable for an offense when he is just describing a constant that has no point of reference in his environment. Therefore, we can neither prove nor disprove that female dwarves are fat.

As for the chick bit, you can tear into him on that one all you like. Granted, woMAN isn't much better but you've got to undue one level of misogyny at a time when your dealing with centuries of male dominated sexual oppression. You still shouldn't be referred to as a baby chicken though, that's about as oddly offensive as being referred to as a female dog. . . maybe more so.

It doesn't really matter if it is me or another, the term is highly offensive to many people, but most people won't put in their 2 cents. I don't blame anyone but myself for my weight issues, I do blame others for their offensive behavior about which they choose to do nothing even after being told time and again to clean up their act
