    Who in the world would want a free Avatar? Usually ugly outfits and color combinations that defy the color wheel.

    I dont think you missed too many unless you include wheelchairs .lol

    I think this topic is petty at most and I only stand behind two friends that felt the need to voice their opinions on it..

    WGT is not sexist or racial ! 

    Just Confused on who the real members are in this game and they need to speak up more to be heard !

    Calling the topic I started "petty at most" then sending me a friend request?  Offers me another chance to be "petty".   Thanks.

    Megan, please unblock me...I'm a good boy now..I promise...just being me.

    I miss you bad...as a friend 

    Change of topic much? You don't deserve her friendship. MOVE ON! 

     

    LeonDelBosque:

     WGT isn't just sexist, you know. Other avatars that didn't come free from the Sun Safe tournament:

    Asian, black, Hispanic, Indian, West Indian, French, Canadian, French-Canadian, older, much older, overweight, obese, younger, young overweight black French Canadian, Texan, metrosexual, and lefties. There may be a few I missed.

    I fail to see the logic in this post.

    Are you serious? You think this topic is petty? Please explain why, I'd love to know.

    I fail to see how girls wanting equal rights on this game is petty. WGT took the time to make a free male avatar, why couldn't they have made a female one as well?

    I'm very disappointed with WGT and how they've handled this. 

    First off this... 

    ]I'm not sure how much power you have within WGT, Icon... But to write this and believe this whole thing is okay like it's no big deal or anything is quite wrong, IMO. 

    It is sexist. To not even bother setting it up for us to be able to get a female avatar, or better yet not even THINK about setting something up like that is so wrong. 

    This whole thing could have been avoided had WGT set it up so you have the option between 2 avatars, a male and a female avatar and you get to choose which one you want. But they didn't, and I bet didn't even think about it. And here we are today...

    Poor form, WGT. Very poor... 

    I am sorry but I disagree. It is not sexist. Just like some things are only available to certain country's, this is the same. Often times we cannot control it, so saying that we did so on purpose is wrong..

    -wgticon

    It is SO sexist Icon. How can you not see that? WGT took the time to make a free male avatar, why couldn't they have made a female one to please the female community within WGT (and some guys too!). It seems you didn't even consider the needs of us ladies that play on your game. It's like you don't care when you guys do things like this.

    And it's completely different than "things are only available in certain countries". How does girls from all over world wanting a female avatar option equal to that? It's so different!

    True, but some people don't have much of an option due to a low income outside of the game. Nice to see you aren't affected by that.

    I agree with the ladies here, it was short-sighted of WGT not to offer the female avatar option. Sexism isn't always a deliberate act and I feel sure WGT didn't intend to show a lack of respect to our lady players on the game but the fact of the matter is they have done just that by overlooking the principle involved here. Hopefully now that some of our esteemed lady players have brought it to their attention WGT and/or their sponsors will show more consideration in future promotions. 

     

    Megan22:
    Okay, but we have guys posing as girls to get gifts, so if I play with a male avatar and fake being a guy...do I have to give gifts??  Just askin' :D

    Yes Megan I'm afraid you do, so I'd like to place my request here and now for a complete set of the top range clubs please ;o) (only kiddin', no beggar here).

     

    dianneher:

    Ermmm no ...not in my world...But im normal so don't go off me...An if I was expected to send gifts .....then id be a very mean man,,,just tellin it how it is ...lmao

    You have always been a mean player Lins, you could let me beat you at least once!! ;o)

     

    ArrVeeAussie:

    Not ALL guys pose as girls just to get gifts.

    Just sayin' 

    Rob is right here, some guys pose as girls for ulterior motives, although I wonder what they could be....... maybe you could explain Rob?

    I think this was a simple mistate by WGT and they haved learned from it and will be more carefull before they rush a thought in without any thought at all on the real members of WGT .

    Best for all to move on from this subject and address all the real ones !

    You gonna have to send me some racy pics first, Rich lmao


    Despite what's "best" for me, I'd like to continue the thread and say that the statement I made above about the free compensation avatar was, of course, a joke.  I don't really care about the avatar, per se.  But I'm a paying customer,  just like the guys, and am only concerned about the principle of it.
