In response to the male-player/female-character thing: It could be because it was for clarification and wanted people to refer to them correctly in terms of gender; not necessarily because of a grudge or outing information.
There are females who play males and vice-versa on games, and have screen names that could confuse acquaintances into thinking they're the incorrect gender, when they don't really mind people referring to them as their real gender! :) Confusion has happened once or twice. I think Thaily was trying to make this point.
I'm sorry if my tone sounded a little harsh or correcting in a condescending way! (English is hard.) I just wanted to throw that out there, you know, food for thought. <:C
