I remember these times.
Human Male Paladins having overy descriptions of their hunky muscular bodies. No reactions.
A female character casually mentions they have any kind of a body shape & or even vaugely references a chest or hip area. BAD

No-one seemed to mind my himbo shirtless druid at the time, though him being pretty clearly a one-note joke probably helped with that.

Nevermind showing off because you’re lugging around an ego with the approximate size and subtlety of Sargeras’ sword.

Every woman character must wear the thickest robes that goes all the way up to their neck, along with full gear and gloves.
Otherwise they’re obviously just erp bait!

You make a compelling argument.
Nice try sir; but cube is still technically a shape.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to step out of the vehicle.

This is the best sentence I’ve ever laid eyes on
With these replies, you know… I don’t even think that’s the “anti erp” thing, but instead just the usual self inserts that IRL think women are pretty little princesses and any woman who shows a bit of skin is not that, projecting that onto their characters.
“A woman has to wear clothing or she’s easy to get” is sadly a thing that exists in society and it perfectly carries over for these people to roleplay.
Outside of roleplay?
Male character runs around with only pants: is ok.
Female character runs around with only pants: “SLOOOOOTMOOOOOOOG!!!”
Now I know some people play on this to REALLY bait into erp. But for the majority? I don’t think that’s a thing.
I’ve read once the phrase that “If they wear the blackweave mage pants they are asking for it” and I was asking if they are a little bit more on the brain damaged side.

this is extra painful because imo the nelf dh model looks way cooler than the wacky DH-specific mogs but you just know it’d get a barrage of weird looks (and not entirely without reason considering how some people have been, undoubtedly)
i remember this, unfortunately
:pain:

Anti ERP folk: “We want people to not erp because it’s against the ToS and you can never know if you erp with a stranger if it isn’t someone underaged on the other side. Also a lot of people whisper nasty stuff to people that don’t want it”.
The average human paladin roleplayer: “I see, they don’t want female characters to erp because as we all know, if a woman speaks openly about her sexuality / wears revealing clothing then she’s easy to get and deserves to be insulted”.
Yeah, I can see the miscommunication happening. I think this is just some weird projection really. I don’t know what is more sad. Either that these individuals never spoke to a woman before or that they aren’t trolling and really believe these things.
Unfortunately you’re right. The absolute amount of succubus RPers / lesbian-erp-only-seeking-DHs and such ruined a lot. There certainly are just regular ones, but the times I’ve seen the two mentioned things are wayyyyy too much. Sit on a female dh somewhere and just wait, you’ll get approached by either eventually. It’s terrible.
Suramar must be one heck of a tour de force for them to quest in, then. Nightborne fashions are not for the faint of heart.

What about orc culture? A couple of days ago someone thought Worggrim was wearing a loincloth (Although that was most likely just a joke). Does that mean all the Grunts are wearing the male variant of lingerie?
