Somebody got burned after an ingame cyber, it seems.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

A lot of games in Asia limit your avatar choices to the gender you claimed to be during the registration process. I'm pretty sure Ragnarok did. And I'm trying to remember, I think the dance one who's name I can't quite recall now.

If you can read this, you're on a board populated by misogynist assholes.

Yeah, just what the world needs- cam shots of the shrunken ill-used junk of gamers. If they started an ad campaign, it might help solve their population problem.

Good question.  What about hermies?

I don't think you can get hermies off a webcam.

Surely the simplest way to fix this is to remove all the female avatars.

Cyber requests would only take a slight hit as a result.

Yup, Ragnarok had your AV gender locked to what you registered as... same for Audition (the dance thing) and Pangya (golf game)
