Interesting Trend in Role Playing Games
Submitted by PureJaqassary on 10 October 2006 - 9:14pm.I don't really do the whole RPG thing, it's never really appealed to me, but there's a gamer contingent among my friends and I have it on good authority that studies have shown that in games which offer a broad variety of species, genders, appearances, etc to their players women and minorities tend to experiment broadly with in-game identities and their gender and race/ethnicity are not generally good predictors of their character's identity/appearance while white males and especially straight white males, with great statistical significance, tended toward the character/identity that was the closest approximation of white human male.
