I just think it voice chat was the reason in the light novels for there not being many in Japan cross playing.

I'm sure there are a lot more elsewhere. I know a few guys (both gay and straight) who take female characters in MMOs. I don't play a lot, but I have made characters of both genders in Guild Wars. My main account on the forum/avatar site Gaia Online (yes, I know a lot of people hate the site, but I've been on there since '03 and still have friends there) is male. For some reason people seem to want to chat with me more when I'm on a male account than a female one... and the strange person that I am... I dislike people calling my male avatar "she"... he's a he regardless of who I am. That's one reason it bothers me when people insist on calling Tetora "he". As far as I'm concerned it's He for the player, She for Tetora-chan. (Unless Mamare, the author, says otherwise).
