I think many get judged by the character they post on.
Is it a retail or classic. what level is it, what faction, some go as far as checking armory or third party sites, depending on the discussion.

Only if itâs a human male paladin or a male night elf hunter.
Oh, and if itâs a female night elf, draenei or human in a sl*tmog, I automatically assume itâs a weird 50 years old man behind the keyboard.
No.
This, sure.

This i find interesting, you mean, that they are infact, creating something like a story or bias in their mind behind the avatar?
I think the other things come into play more than the avatar they have.
I try to treat each post individually regardless of who made it or what theyâve posted before.
People make presumptions based on all sorts of things though. Thatâs human nature.

I admit, I did wonder once or twice how people perceive me through my main, because I sometimes tend to do that as well. How do I come across, lol?
I donât tend to connect people themselves to the clichĂŠs, but I often connect the avatar image with the person writing and create an image of a personality in my mind.
It is pretty subjective in my opinion. Admittedly, when I am skimming through a thread, I am more likely to pay attention to posts made by Worgen, Tauren, Night Elf, or Undead characters, mostly because such characters bring up positive feelings for me and therefore I would read their tones as less combative. I cannot explain why, but I am sure I am not alone in that regard. Of course, I would do my best to treat each post equally, but the brain can be a weird thing.
However, there are exceptions. There are a number of folks who arenât necessarily posting with my favorite races, but I recognize the names because I either see them often, or they generally had very good points and I would stop to consider their views.
Worth keeping in mind, that there are both conscious and subconscious thinking/biases at play here. Someone who takes less of a liking to vicious-looking characters could perceive mine to be unfriendly, and read my tone as such.

Yes I voice act Punyelf as Liadrin.
I am sure she has to be quite tough to handle reading all of this and stay polite.

Once in a while I get some flak when I get confused with Jito based on the avatarâs looks, but I can live with that.

Yep thatâs how I imagine Puny and how she sounds like 
in my head cause itâs clearly lady Liadrin inspired mog.

Well somehow even on my Yola I thought jito and Red were related to each other like his or her brother or sister 
because they have the same way of thinking.

I am actually pleased to see that not every post by Retributor is his agenda to push there is âHorde Biasâ.
But denying the claim only fortifies the belief.
What I can say, to you and not him, cause that would be a huge leakâŚ
So pls keep it a secret 
As a member of a group of very private insiders⌠I must confess there is a huge Horde bias, namely me and my fellow conspirators, we sacrifice a human paladin at 9:59 before each reset to force RNG gods in our favour, increase our drop chances for a week and manipulate writers to give us better story next patch.
Just please, do not tell that to him or all our efforts will be for nothing.
For the Horde!
