velvetpageWe, the female gamers of the world, are FUCKING tired of this.
Who in the world thinks this could possibly be anything but a sexist, classist clusterfuck?
No, this is not sexy. No, this is not funny. It is demeaning and rage-inducing. A pregnancy tracking sheet? Really? It's like a bad Youtube satire of playing with girls. "Roll to see if you're menstruating!" Filling in your bust and waist measurements on your character sheet? Really?
We are more than our genitalia. We want to play characters who are more than their genitalia. We want you to respect that we're fully-fledged human beings. Why on earth is that so difficult?
*Disclaimer: the men I play with, to the best of my knowledge, will all see this as just as jaw-droppingly disgusting as I do. That's one reason I continue to play with them.

(it doesn't help that 100% of the GOR roleplayers I accidentally came across in Second Life were rude bastards. Then I found out their entire subculture revolves around exploiting women.... Figures.)
