I was about to make a post about my thoughts, then realized I was the one who posted this topic!
... But really, this entire post was just an excuse to see how my new signature & avatar contrasted to heRO's forums.
As I said earlier, I do not mind playing the opposite gender, and people generally do play same-gender characters well because of the relative similarities.
Though, admittedly, I can't help but laugh at people who go "You're a guy/girl?!" when roleplaying with someone that's using an opposite gender character.
Never gets old.
