413horses Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Uh minor mention of genitals for those who don't wanna read it. My absolute favourite (sarcasm) enby mood is when in the shops, and a mannequin isn't fully clothed or whatever, I get jealous of it for not having genitals. Like, can't I have that too?

Half-elves are super cool, and I see why you were a bit offended. I have an elf character right now in one campaign and a human character in another. All I need to complete the circle is a half-elf!

arden_jay Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 When you use a different name to the one you have on all your legal stuff, and it takes you a second to realise that the tutor in your uni class just called your "name" on the roll... Link to post Share on other sites

I just thought it was cool to be half of something. It's kinda ironic because that guy is mixed race and he's complaining about the same thing he is. In the game, it's chosen but sometimes we just are. 20 hours ago, Coddiwomple said: Oof, mega cringe. That sucks! He definitely needs a lesson in different LGBTQ+ identities. Whaaaat? That's stupid.

Well I never told him that my character was half-elf, as it wasn't relevant to what I told him happens in my adventures with my friends. Last week I must've been having a girl moment because I felt like slapping an NPC student for tricking us. Funny thing is that we're in a wizard school and our spells seem to be not very effective but our physical attacks keep getting natural 20s. According to the DM, my slap did a lot of damage. Other players were surprised because my character was supposed to be shy and gentle, yet I'm going around slapping jokesters. A friend said that the slapping wasn't a girl thing but I felt more feminine when I do those slaps because it was an approved action for me to do when I thought that I was cis.

Light02 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Can't remember if anyone's already mentioned this but... Never turning around whenever people call you: "Miss!" but also never turning around when people call you: "Sir!" I literally don't even realize they're talking about me, both when they call me "that girl" and when they call me "that boy". Link to post Share on other sites

nerdperson777 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Having trouble finding non-gendered or unisex objects. I'm trying to get new gel insoles for my shoe but I don't have big feet so I've been trying to find ones that state both male and female sizes on them instead of female only.

Based on my understanding of gender stereotypes, slapping is feminine and punching is masculine. So I have no idea what this friend was talking about... In fact, I think when I was in early high school, I made a joke on gender stereotypes because my friend actually knew martial arts and was much more likely to punch than slap, if she was going to do anything, so while we were roleplaying at some point, I created this curse where every time she tried to punch, it turned into a slap because, according to the curse, "girls don't punch". This was apparently hilarious when I was 14/15. *shrug* I think I did something similar for guys, but I can't remember what it was... The plot became centered around my friend creating her own branch of martial arts that centered around slaps instead of punches, but actually did more damage than when she was punching. And because she was now more violent by being more feminine, thus making her less feminine, this created a contradiction and broke the curse or something. I don't remember exactly. It was one of the silly ones we did when we were tired that were made mostly of pure randomness and sleep deprivation. Somewhere between "Ok, so the 'Interview with a Vampire' characters are floating in outer space eating nerds when..." and "Ok, so Cupid is evil and making everyone fall in love with the most awkward person possible, and wages a personal war against you because you are immune to his arrows and he's butt-hurt about it".

When I first learned it elsewhere, I was just told that it was called the nut slap. At my current place, they say that the fancy name is "monkey steals peach". All it really is, is the arm swinging palm up but not too high, because, you know, it's a crotch strike. I felt some sort of irony that the class was being taught by two of the three trans coaches, even if people probably didn't know we were. And yes, we had to tell the kids, don't slap your family or your friends. Link to post Share on other sites
nerdperson777 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 There was some conversation about a character's gender in a game. The cis boy was saying that there was male and female. Trans girl says, "what if I want to be neither or both?" I'm just went "ooh I want that". Link to post Share on other sites

We're going to a wizard school and the solution to gendered dorms is everyone gets a nice luxurious room. If only the real world could have that. One of our players bought a cat from the market area and food is included in the cost. Man, what a deal. Link to post Share on other sites
