...people who call their MMORPG characters "toons". WHAT THE FUCK.

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK IS A "TOON". It's actually kinda pissing me off right now. MMORPGs are already kinda gay, so why gay the whole thing up even more by calling your character a "toon"?

"yeah, I got my other toon up to 52 last night" YOU FUCKING HOMO. YOU QUEERBAIT ASSCLOWN. Don't EVER say that in the hall when I'm in earshot! "Toon" WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF.

I've never heard that... UNTIL NOW.

I think i heard that a few times when i played WoW.

"Toon" is often used in MMORPGs to refer to a player's digital avatar. In this usage, it is a contraction of cartoon.

Wiki cannot seem to explain the connection between 'cartoons' and the avatars in MMORPGs

I completely agree - but that then begs the question, "What do you call them then?" - Avatars? Characters? Alts?

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #5 on:** December 19, 2006, 02:20:01 PM »

Alts is what I always heard.

some people - not ME, but some people - might argue that merely playing MMORPGs would qualify a person as a FUCKING HOMO, or perhaps a QUEERBAIT ASSCLOWN.

so it seems like we're just splitting hairs

And yet sitting alone, playing by yourself is insanely macho and heterosexual? It truly is a strange world we live in.

I also hate when people say they're going to "roll" a new character.

WoW CLASSES HAVE NO RANDOMIZED STATISTICS. YOU MORANS.

If someone says they are going to "roll a toon," I punch them through the internets.

Re-rolling may not be accurate but at least the term doesn't make you sound like a cigarillo.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #11 on:** December 19, 2006, 04:33:45 PM »

"toon" makes NO FUCKING SENSE. Call them CHARACTERS.

Oblivion · « **Reply #12 on:** December 19, 2006, 05:21:10 PM »

I've never heard of that term used for an MMRPG character.

My comment was directed at those other people you mentioned - not you obviously.

Seriously. I hate that phrase. I hate most of the fucking slang used in MMO's.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #15 on:** December 19, 2006, 08:36:27 PM »

I like the slang in Gunbound. kekekekeke lah~

Last night, I was able to rack up ~8k Honor on my Alliance toon. The other toons in my regular PVP group were bitching about this premade group of toons from some server where their toons are so incredibly far behind in the Naxxerfagus progression, so naturally, I logged onto a different toon, because I didn't want to hear anymore bullshit about the toons from this backwater server. I got pretty bored playing on my rogue toon though, so I rolled a new toon, but realized that it's still pretty boring right now. Hopefully, I can make some real progression with my Valkyrie Profile 2 toons instead.

i hope you get cancer of the face!

Disposable White Guy · « **Reply #18 on:** December 19, 2006, 09:01:19 PM »

If I do, I'll have more time to focus on all of my toons!

You've got your main and then you have your alts. People calling them toons always annoyed me too.

Shuri · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2006, 11:26:10 PM »

I think it comes from an early online mmorpg that featured cartoon characters in a semi rpg-ish setting

sounds distressingly furry
