There are a lot of assumptions and unfounded accusations happening about the OP-OP in this discussion. He explicitly stated that he wasn't looking for OOC feelings to bleed through and that he has a wife. All we can do is take someone on their word, and we can choose not to participate in something if it raises red flags in our head. Acting abrasively, without evidence, especially colored by our past experiences, is just going to create endless, irrational conflict.Â
That said, I'm with Faye on this one in that it makes me uncomfortable to seeing ERP OK and OOC female-preferred in the same solicitation. I don't know where this conversation can go, though, considering different things make different people uncomfortable. Something making you, personally, uncomfortable doesn't make it okay to lash out at someone, either.
Personally, I am a woman and I like playing male characters, as well as female. It's wonderful to be able to write and play a compelling character of either gender because gender-blind casting isn't realy mainstream in popular entertainment.
