[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4667696, member: 30610"] Regarding this "big breasted woman" who is "DM's Pet:" putting aside female [I]NPCs[/I] hating her, wouldn't female [I]players[/I] object strenuously to such a blatant display of misogyny? "So who's the woman? Your cohort?" "She's not a cohort, she's my pet." "Uh . . . so, this cohort or accomplice or, um, 'pet,' as you call her - what's she like, personality wise?" "She has big breasts." :eek: Unless this is some kind of deliberate, satirical farce that seeks to make social commentary on perceptions of women in gaming, your DM is a deeply flawed individual. He is of age to be an adult and act with maturity, but by your assessment he is indeed socially retarded by about five years. I understand Umbran's statement above, but really, racism, bigotry, and misogyny [I]are[/I] real life problems and I highly doubt (given your assessment of his inadequate grasp of social interactions) he leaves it behind when he leaves the table. More likely he has a life ahead of him dishing out lecherous stares, talking down to women, making unwanted advances, and generally being a pest. Are you [I]right[/I] to hate him? Who can say if hate is ever right? But is it [I]understandable[/I]? Oh yeah. PS - I wouldn't blame the guy trying to play the girl as long as he seems to be acting in good faith - at least he's trying to wrap his head around a different mindset, even if he's failing miserably.
