And to think that I go out of my way on my warrior to actively encourage the plate bikini... seriously, it took me weeks to put that transmog set together. True, I'm a guy - but that doesn't really mean anything. I've had female players compliment me on the hard work I've done putting the set together and asking me where I found the pieces so they can emulate it themselves.

Yes, I spent a great deal of time on assembling my plate bikini for a number of reasons. One of them might very well be a subconcious desire for female orcs manifesting itself, but that's not important right now. I did ir primarily to see if it could be done and also as a Red Sonja parody (female orcs CAN be sexy, not just blood elves). I've only ever been complimented on the set, and never been bothered by creeps or anything of the sort. Maybe stalkers are intimidated by my warrioress' phat curves and rockin' six-pack and assume it's a butch lesbian playing but who the hell knows?

My point being is that if plate bikinis and marginally sexist NPC dialogue (the only one I can truly think of is the female goblin NPC in Razor Hill that reacts VERY differently depending on your character's gender) offends your delicate sensibilities then... oh well.
