This question is aimed at female yuri roleplayers, so if you don't identify as such, please don't respond to the poll. You are, of course, still welcome to participate in discussion.
A relatively common policy among female yuri roleplayers seems to be: 'I won't roleplay yuri with guys.' What I've always wondered is: why? What exactly is wrong or uncomfortable about a guy roleplaying a f/f relationship with a girl? Is it a generalization about males? A personal pet peeve? Based on bad experiences?
So, the question is: As a girl who likes yuri, do you refuse to roleplay it with guys? If so, please say why.

Not at all.
Besides, how am I supposed to tell?
I only RP on gaia.
How the hell should I figure out whether the person is male or female?
The avvis don't show it.

Well, it's probably because most males don't really understand a girl on girl relationship, and thus, will be inept in portraying a really good RP character. Also, more often than not are men notorious for only reading Yuri for the breast and private area shots, which means that they would rather jump straight into the sex after a few posts (but not on this place, since it's Gaia) rather than focus on the character development and relationships.
That's what I think anyway. :/ I must admit, I won't really RP with a guy unless he actually understands what Yuri really is and what he's role playing.

This is the argument I've heard before the most. I agree that some people are just into roleplaying certain types of relationships because they think they're 'hot' or whatever, but most girls who do that (*coughyaoifangirlscough*) don't get this kind of treatment as a response. Also, why assume all guys are like that, rather than taking it case by case? In response to the first part of what you said... So, would that mean you're, in general, of the opinion that people should only roleplay characters of their own gender? I'm not accusing or anything, just trying to understand.

Didn't I say MOST guys? I've read my own post a LOT of times, and I think I clearly put there MOST, and not ALL, which means that I know and am still open to the fact that there are decent-minded yuri fanguys out there. And no. I'm okay with guys RPing as woman and vice versa -hell, they can even role play as a dog for all I care, it's just that with yuri fanguys' reputation as people who only watch Yuri for the lesbian sex, girls wouldn't want to RP with them, having the idea that they won't be very good at portraying the character. Instead, they would rather jump to the sex part quickly after a few posts, instead of taking time to actually let the plot develop. I'm not accusing all yuri fan guys of such, but I think that's what MOST yuri fangirls immediately and inadvertently think whenever a guy wants to role play in a Yuri RP.

well i see where your getting at but as you so put it "most guys" are indeed jerk offs and pervs so you do have a very good and valid point

I'm totally fine with roleplaying with guys. It always depend on the player, of course, but I don't think guys necessarily want sex or understand girl-girl relationship dynamics less than girls do. It really depends on the guy--I've met quite a few who are very sweet and would probably be wonderful to RP with.
I certainly think there's nothing wrong with players roleplaying a gender other than their own, since many people do play it quite well. I guess that, and trying not to discriminate (Lady Tsukiko Kuonji is right, who can tell, anyway? If someone lies about their gender, we can't catch them) are some of the main reasons I wouldn't pick and choose much. If the player just wants to RP sex and I'm not down for that, I'll just find someone else.

 Long as they know what they're doing I really don't mind either way, I've RPed with a lot of people over the years and come to realise that providing they don't have a completely warped idea of what Yuri/Shoujo-Ai is I don't mind at all.

My brother is an expert roleplayer, having roleplayed pretty much anything. When I asked him about why he was doing a Yuri roleplay, he responded with this:
"To me, Yuri roleplays are what sepearte the gentlemen from the dogs. Styles of roleplay become glaringly obvious depending on how quick the roleplayer tries to move the story along. A dog will try to skip to the sex part, with an anime image thrown in for good measure. A gentlemen in a Yuri roleplay would take a little time to develop the character, let the plot move at the plot's own pace. It's like cooking a steak: Start eating the moment it's cooked, and you get burned badly. Those that take time to let the steak rest, let flavors develop, are rewarded for their patience with an excellent meal."
Does that make any sense to anyone here? My brother's kinda cryptic with these things...
