I wouldn't say anyones going to care if you say hey man or hey dude, i say that to female friends all the time cause I feel like theyre neutral terms. The topic in the first place was more of why people are standing and looking at a female character and straight up referring to them as "he"

Because there’s an 80% chance that the toon you’re speaking to is played by a dude according to the statistics presented by the other poster.

I always call or refer to the person depending on the character sex. If it's a male character, I always refer to he/him, and if it's a female character, it's she or her. I do this even when I know the person is a male irl for instance but playing female. I like the RP side of it. I like RP but no to the extent that I would roll on a RP server, even though I think the community there is probably better.

Because "He" is everywhere.
