I do not write Madison as having masculine features. Never have. Never will.
I also do not use the model choice as an exact replication of the character in my head.
I consider all written descriptions of my character as manly to be god modding.
I will never respond to her being called a tranny.
I also know it upsets several people who belong to the LGBT community. Just so you're aware.

I think this could have been pm'd?
Also, it's ic. They aren't calling YOU that, at least I don't believe so.
I understand both sides, but it's an ic thing.
Sorta like when Madison told liz she was a pretentious **** or w/e
I didn't take it personal.

To those in the LGBT community - tranny is CC's word, not mine. As a RP site, we are all free to RP out charries and their flaws, and to stay consistent to said charries - even if it should go against our own beliefs and morals.
Quinn is a racist - I'm not.
Charlotte is post-op Transgendered - I'm not.
CC is a prostitute, and is fine selling her body - I'm not.
CC is also totally un-PC, brash and uses words no longer acceptable - I.... have my moments. XD. As I'm sure most do. lol
I do hope that helps clear up any misunderstandings that there may be on that front, and people know that I - the player - am not my charries, nor do I hold myself to the same standards as they do themselves.

You can't control people's opinions by calling it God-modding.
As far as I'm concerned, a character said another character looked such and such. I don't see how that is controlling someone else's character.
A lot of characters think Myk is female by the way he looks. I don't exactly blame them, but I wouldn't report a thread someone wrote in about their character thinking mine was female when he's actually not. That's just... ridiculous. Them having an opinion about his gender is in no way, shape, or form a reflection on what my character is. It's just their opinion.

Slurs are gross, but characters use them (I'm a member of the LGBT community, but not under the T). Doesn't mean the player is transphobic.

Yeah, my character's opinions and perceptions aren't my own. Nix kinda thinks Madison is a lot of unpleasant things, but that doesn't mean I, the player, have negative feelings towards you, your character or any community whatsoever.

Just a note, nowhere did I say I felt these insults were aimed at me, the player.

Exactly what the initial post says.

That it's godmodding for a character to have an opinion of your character that you don't agree with?
