in those same games

and status

Fantasy mmos to be specific. Scifi based mmos skew much more towards male

I was talking mostly about FFXIV

Final Fantasy 14 (and 11)

But yeah the data shows that men and women have different reasons for playing mmos with women being more likely to cite the social aspects

Final Fantasy: the game series where the number doesn't mean anything anymore aside from its not the other games

we have deviated greatly

lmao

not really

you started with, "theres a lot of females, we just assume they are men"

we said there aren't that many, and they become easily identifiable as women after a while

this depends on the type of interaction though, I guess

Demo wise that assumption still happens though

When you're dealing with populations and not individuals

what do you mean?

ahh..yes

you will always assume at first that a women is a man online

but you will be statistically accurate 😂

Not always. Sometimes the username gives it away.

Or the picture.

And that a large group of people are men, even on social media

I've seen a lot of men trying to pass as women too

Remember how the studies on twitter harrassment blew people's minds?

because they want the status, free stuff, etc. They want to know how it feels like

yep

I still think the number of females on the internet is grossly underestimated by males. Perhaps because male and female interest divides so much

and because historically, it was mostly men

@Beemann what study?

Probably means the pew research study

because men usually seemed to be the ones who were un-phased by being called a nerd

or at least were more thrown out of every other group for it

the only example of women trying to pass as males for a long time, are those that are very good at competing. But those are a rarety. I would say that most women online usually say they are women, or that it becomes obvious after a while.

perhaps after a while

What evidence do you have for that claim beyond personal experience

but how many people do you interact with long enough to find out?

@Saiio who's claim? mine or Belial

depends what kinda interaction we are talking about. I know the gender of everyone on my Discord friendlist

femboy foxes

Let's assume your point though.. would you say this server is 50% female?
