male
- noun A persona in the game which is of the
masculine gender. Some
humanoid mobiles are also males. In order to avoid possible
trauma, most real-life male players behave as though all the other
players were
real-life heterosexual males, a situation to the liking of
many female players who are happy to avoid the hassles they
would get if it were known that they were real females. NB:
this is in the UK, where despite the fact that 50% of personae
are female, only around 10% of players are; in the USA, around
40% of players are real females, so a lot more flirting goes on
between the sexes. These figures have held true for many years, despite the
increasing penetration of Internet awareness among the general population.
See female, real female.
