Please. I am tired of people flirting with me because I have a "girly" helmet. The one with the two plumes. Too many stereotypical people lurk on the internet. So I suggest that during the character creation, you choose a gender that may or may not, depending on what OOO would prefer, physically affect your knight, but adds a female or male sign next to your name. Nice and simple, and hopefully clears gender confusion.

Edit: Maybe there will be a "not telling gender" option? If people are insecure about letting the world know their gender, they could do that.

How would we define this? So

How would we define this? So many armor lines already have 2 in the chest, while so many would not make any seance with or with out it. -1. get over it and just tell them you got a snake in the pants.

Men can have non flat chests,

Men can have non flat chests, women can have flat chests. And telling them I have male parts will only let people in that area know I am male, not everyone.

Sorry, but one of the unwritten rules of the internet is to accept whatever gender people think you are. This is generally male, and the pronoun "he" when referring to someone is commonly accepted, even if it's a girl ("There are no girls on the internet")
Unlike real life, we can't see what gender people are, but it isn't really important either, so that's why it doesn't matter.

Nick has also stated that although there are "feminine" and "masculine" armors in the game, there are no genders. I wear draped with crescent, and although my name is "Mr-Hex", people still ask me if I'm a girl. It doesn't bother me though.

Yeah, so that we can make

Yeah, so that we can make more generalizations before bothering to get to know the person first. I kind of like the lack of gender in this game, it takes away the stereotypes people like to form. If it's troublesome for you, just tell them you're a dude. It's not that hard. If they don't believe you, then who cares?

How does not having genders

How does not having genders take away stereotypes? If you wear a double plumed helmet, they think you're a girl. If you're a guy and have long hair and don't have notable masculine features, people think you're a girl. That happens to me. That happening in real life and in a game is seerusly annoying to me.
Again, telling one person I am male won't change anything.

What everybody said, it doesn't matter whenever people call you a boy or girl. If that bothers you so much, make your personal color blue or pink.
