Line 8:
A crossplayer usually ''isn't'' deceptive about their sex—many are quite up-front about their real life sex, and simply prefer avatars of the opposing sex [[Third-Person Seductress|for aesthetic reasons]] (the most oft-repeated defense of crossplay is "If I have to look at an ass all day, I'd prefer a nice one") or the sake of [[The Roleplayer|RP]], or just to see the [[Breast Plate|female]] [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|armor models]].
Whatever the reason, crossplayers are pretty common in modern [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s, and very few people see it as a big deal. It's also worth noting that crossplayers aren't exclusively men playing women; occasionally women play as male characters, the biggest reason is to be treated as [[One of the Boys]].
Contrast with the [[GIRL]], when a cross player ''is'' actively pretending to be one of the other sex. See also [[There Are No Girls on the Internet]], for the (mostly) discredited phenomenon of users assuming everyone online was male. Though if you wish to use voice chat (often required for high end contents), you cannot hide your sex, no problem for most of us at least.
