Closed Trap Queen Question
Random question. I have played this game for several years as a female char and just let everyone assume I’m a lady and made really good friends this way. Now I’m like uhhh I wish I told them I was a dude because now I feel like I can’t tell them because they wouldn’t want to be my friends because I lied and I don’t want to only be thought of as a trap. I can’t ever do anything like discord or other stuff because obvi. Not to mention it sounds creepy as I type this out.
Any thoughts? Should I tell everyone I’m a dude or never say anything and avoid it forever?

That being said, unless the dynamics of your interactions with them were heavily based on you being female (that is to say, if you were REALLY playing the part), I doubt it'll be that bad.
Personally, if someone told me they were a guy even though they are playing as a female character, I wouldn't care and would just go about my day, and still think the same of them as I used too.
People that do this to their advantage for free items though, that's scummy.
I knew a guy who did this, and it worked all the time until people finally started catching on.
I play as a female character cause it is easier to name them and I would rather look at a cute girl character killing monsters then a boring guy character. nobody should ever use their gender as a excuse to get free stuff, guy or girl irl begging or trying to take advantage of other players somehow is just wrong. if a player asks for help usually I am more then happy to if I have the time but I ignore players that are clearly begging or just want free stuff.
I sometimes hide on my male char when someone tries to flirt with me. One person wouldn't stop even when I said it bothered me, they just kept on going how adorable I was and how they wanted to "eat me up". My male char never gets bothered like that, so I feel kind of safe playing on them.
Most of the people I meet aren't like that though; the focus is usually on the game and not on flirting, it's just a few instances where I purposely went onto a different gender char. I don't want to flirt, I don't understand why people use their gender to get free stuff (does that actually happen?) I just want to play the game.
So unless you flirt with people, I don't think it's an issue. If people are flirting with you, I think you should upfront tell them so that the situation doesn't turn weird later.
I get many people talking to me for no reason. I do not assume on an individual level, but I know I am an attractive sounding individual online, with a sexy as heck Elf that brings all the guys to Mabinogi. I know some of you are talking to me because you all believe I am sultry, sensual female. I KNOW! MY THIRST RADAR IS BEEPING!
Such a bother though.
My comrade. I will now begin the ultimate story of the true King of Traps!
How everyone still loves him and even straight males feel extremely conflicted but still willingly accepted him as a true bro after finding out he is a dude....
Ladies and gentlemen! I give you Astolfo! >;O
Everyone loves him. = w=
In short if you're a great person, people will love you no matter what, male or female! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOO! >;D
This. It's so common that people usually assume that i'm a dude, even though i'm with a female character and have a girly name, they still come up to me and say "sup dude" or "thanks man". Lmao. It's so funny when people think i'm a dude, most of times i don't even say anything about it and just giggle when people think i'm a dude. xD It keeps up until i literally don't say that i'm a girl and some of them are like "wait??? U are a girl???".
I assumed you were a male too at one point. I mean, I am a male, I play female, and I have a "chick name", as they say. Bliss. Bliss Bliss Bliss.
It's not like traps are so unusual anyway. Most people seem to assume I'm male regardless of whether I'm playing a female or male character.
... To be fair, I don't bother correcting them unless they ask. It's caused a few funny surprises. Apparently I type in a blunt and brutal manner and not "like a girl".
