Read this thread if you haven't already.

This is the followup to that experiment; When you made up your character, did you make it the same gender as you?

Also, did anyone come up with any non-human characters? This is just out of curiosity.

Yep, I created a female character. She is human, though

Reverse gender, human.

It occurs to me to wonder what the results would look like if you also filtered by the gender of the character created.

Unless I've misunderstood, this would yield the exact same data.

True, but you also have to think about the gender of the creator of the character. Not difficult, but slightly slower.

A: Same gender (still human)

"Same Gender" character creation is supposed to be some kind of estimated bias, or something?

I meant from a static perspective rather than a perspective relative to that of the creator's own gender...

Ahh, I see now. How many female characters versus male characters?

Well anyway, this whole experiment was because I noticed that when I create a random character on the spot, it's usually a guy. In addition, whenever I'm confronted with a genderless or an ambiguous character, I tend to default to thinking it's a guy too.

I was wondering if it's because I'm a guy, so that's why I asked you all to come up with characters, I wanted to see if girls were more likely to make girl characters, and guys guy characters. The human/non-human thing was unrelated, but another curiosity none the less.

Anyway, thanks for your input, everyone!
