Talk:Gender-bait
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
contrary to a popular idea the practice should be more prevalent in avoiding harassment from certain males Didn't quite understand the meaning. Is there a typo in it? Biblbroks 23:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I got the jist of it, but thought it was still poorly-worded, so in my edit I also changed that wording even though my main concern in editing it was to categorize the poor thing. How is it now? Runa27 21:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
That the term gender-bait should have any relevance to transvestic fetishism or gender identity disorder is not referenced and offensive, so I deleted it since it's probably vandalism by some MMORPG-player who can't stand a male playing a female avatar.
Also, I doubt that the statistic from daedelus is valid in this article since it tells us nothing of who does it to elicit positive response from males or who does it because they find a female character more aethestic/cool/whatever reason.

Is it worth adding that this also happens to lesbians online (really quite a lot)? Some lesbian chatrooms online can be almost entirely populated by men pretending to be women... Xmoogle 00:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
