If it's not romantic RP, why does it matter?

In fact, why does it matter if almost all of your interaction is just IC? What does the gender behind the screen matter over what the character on-screen does? If the roleplay and story is well-written, does it truly matter?

I mean unless it's going into cybering etc I don't see why there is ever a need to know who the player behind a character is.

You're not wrong.

But neither is he.
Did I say he was? In fact most of my statements are very generic now. I don't even care what the [initial] OP was about because I'm not here to discuss it. I am only repeating what a few general opinions have been stated in threads that have come from similar situations.

The Love Love Maid CafÃ© advertisement thread last year was pretty much ripped to pieces in the RPC forums, from the RPers here, as many found it to be not to their tastes and most likely not to what they want in RP. In fact, I'm of the opinion that most people did not post in the thread because of A) Sargatanas and B) memories of the thread from last year.

Am I surprised whenever I meet a female player behind a male character? Well, sure just because I love it whenever I get to meet a fellow female player. Am I surprised about male players behind female characters? Honestly, not completely. Do I care? Not an ounce unless they start moving into asking me about IRL things about me and not my character. I don't give one flying fuck if it's a middle aged 30 year old man or a 30 year old woman. My character is RPing the scene with another character.

Maybe it's just me projecting, then, but the inferred tone in this thread seems to be aggressive towards an opposing viewpoint. Fuck, my post said you aren't wrong, which you seem to be okay with, but then you reiterate the whole debate over the other half of my point being that he's not wrong either. I'm not accusing anyone of anything.

The "general opinions" in this thread are borderline hostile. Repeating them, moreso.
