Gender profiles.


A quick post to point out how lucky the CoH boys are.


Only 15% of online gamers are female.  Seeing as you have both me and Lite in the Jam Busters, that means you have successfully destroyed the odds in recruiting us.  Gratz.

Hmm.  Given that statistic, I feel exceptionally lucky.  The split of our team is particularly fortuitous.  We have 7(?) members...  three of whom are definitely boys and three of whom are definitely girls.  And one I've never met, so I don't know.


To clarify (and I'm sure you can see this coming a mile off) I am counting Stead as a girl, because he behaves and looks like one.


Now then, Copp.  Can you tell us what the average boy/girl split is on internet forums such as this?  Then we'll see how jammie we really are!

I'm not commenting on this debate, cos it could lead to mass hysteria, the drowning of witches, ferrets ruling the world, and the return of Pharoah (hah! spelt right!) Tutankhamoun. (not sure if spelt right)


Nighty, night.

In an attempt to drag this post back to my original point, I have more interesting facts.


3 out of 5 boys 'gender bend' as online gamers.  Therefore, if 85% of players are male, 66% of characters are female.  But as we know from my earlier post...only 15% are real girls.   That leaves a staggering amount of boys playing girls (51% of characters).  Even more if some girls want to be boys. 


Two lessons from this.


1.  Be careful who you wink at during those long late night gaming sessions (unless you want to bump into Santa's friend Pamela).


2.  There is a 3/10 chance that a girl character is a real girl.  Based on those odds, Lite and Copper are probably boys.

Hmm.  Interesting.


Stead.  Do you gender bend when you're online?  Only I notice you always play boys.  Or... er... play with boys.

The mere mention of Lite's undergarments has stunned BigMan into silence.

I was so excited about those stats...and was really hoping some of you might have some interesting thoughts on the minds of virtual superheroes and gender transfer in cyberspace.  I find the whole thing fascinating.


But no...just knickers.

Panties, Copper.  Panties.


Look.  When Lite starts talking about her pants, we ain't gonna stop her.  It just wouldn't be right.


Back on subject...  your stats don't mention figures for girls playing boys.  I think we've discussed this before.  We don't think it happens much. 


Furthermore... on the basis that during play, one has to gaze at the backside of one's character the whole time, would it be fair to say that any blokes who don't cross-genderize whilst online are latently woofters on the basis that they subconciously like looking at men's bums?

She/he* plays Diode.  And she/he* ain't here to defend herself/himself just now, so I feel perfectly justified (and, more importantly I have an illusion of safety) in mocking her/him in her/his absence.*

PS thanks for dressing like 'normal' girls, hahahahahahahaaaaa
