| According to Gamepolitics.com, a month ago, a Chinese MMO company, Aurora Technology, has began to ban male players who masquerade in video games under female avatars. While it may seem like an overreaction within one company, it is important to note that Aurora Technology is a subsidiary of MMO publishing giant Shanda, a company that publishes a large amount of MMOs in North America, like Aion, Dungeons & Dragons Online and Company of Heroes Online. The company has already begun to implement this "gender checking" process by forcing players to prove their gender via webcam. It's also quite interesting to note that the company is only applying this rule to male players who play under female avatars, and not the reverse. Perhaps this is an attempt to slow down scammers who pose as females in order to manipulate male gamers to give them items, but no official reason has been given as to why the company is cracking down on these "gender bending" players. | |

| Mehhh.....thats just stupid, its a guy's own fault for being so horny that he will give away items to a stranger just because she/he claims to have breasts and a vagina. |

| Infringement of rights, they cannot do this.
Simple lol
Especially in the USA/Canada, other parts of the world maybe but not where we have a constitution that allows freedom of expression.
That or you could sue for discrimination... then again there's a lot you could file for anyways... don't think they'll dare pull such a stunt off in NA.
But frankly it's kinda amusing as to how stupid people are, they should realize by now that 90% of the "females" in MMOs are in fact guys who play it cause well, male characters just look hideous lol | |
