What do you think of NS's mainly male population?

[Novaya Tselinoyarsk]

Considering the amount of males on Nation States I can firmly say the lack of penis jokes and pictures of boobies completely outclasses NS over other largely male online communities.

Well, we have moderators that actually, you know, moderate. For being a team of volunteers, they're doing an awesome job so far. And I'm not saying this to "kiss up to them" or anything, it's from experience over a variety of internet forum communities.

And?

[Harkonna]

And?

Don't ask. Oh wait. Uh. Okay, damage mitigation. Stand on your head and shove a thumb up your nose. It'll make him run away.

[Luveria]

Until you meet someone local you're attracted to you met on NS.

Not likely. Except for maybe a very wide definition of 'local'.

*shrugs* As long as you meet with them.

Sometimes. Sometimes not.

I don't see how sexual identity or sexual orientation per se of a poster can make a post funnier, snarkier, or more intelligent.

It usually doesn't.

I am a girl and I don't feel uncomfortable on NS. I dislike when people start making stupid generalisations like often calling me "he".

That's why some posters put female in their sig. But then there will be people who argue and insist you're male since obviously they know another person's gender than you do or can't tell the difference between sex and gender.

Thanks to the PG-13 rule.

Why do I think that all players behind pony nations are girls?

My perception is up to half are.

Actually, if you want to brag about diacritics, it's "naïveté", youngling.

gooby risvioli pls

I'd settle for a spellchecker that didn't flag practically every word (my spellchecker only speaks Finnish and I cba get yet another add-on to the browser). And I was undecided between naivety and naivete, and just decided to go with one of them.

Hence the "lack of penis jokes and pictures of boobies".

A sample size of 1 taught me that bisexual females are the snarkiest *nods*

[Nadkor]

I don't...what? Are you in the middle of some kind of breakdown?

The only breakdown is your ... Uh. Wardrobe. I'm trying out being Nice(TM). And Funny(TM). I'm liking it so far.

pls help

My wardrobe is, of course, amazing.

My sample size of 1 taught me the same.

You need a spellchecker that speaks hbmmmgbhghfllll. It's the perfect one for you. I swear. It's a real thing. Please buy it. I need to eat real food.

It's all jackboots and combat armour. De facto classy.

I am such a cute little girl. *flutters eyelashes*

I don't disagree.

Reliable statistics.

That's in a way a problem. I usually default to using he if I can't tell if the poster is male or female... Call it sexist, but to be honest, I find it less offensive than "it". Maybe I should just get around using he/she all the time unless explicitly stated...

btw just realized confused Heleventia with the city Heleventia of Mizialand...

Some butchers decided to create words like ze and zer, xi and xir, etcetera, for just that purpose. Unfortunately, I had them all beheaded for their treachery.

Close. Mostly dresses.

A good alternative is stating the nations name. It's what I do sometimes, anyway.

God, Harkonna, you're a riot. Ha. Ha.

If I don't know someone's gender I usually avoid using pronouns or put he/she.

If I'll just start referring everyone with "hän"...

No, ungendered potato entity, you, in fact, are a prison break. Take that.
