#gendered classes

Yeah that's what I said :) Maybe there is other differences? (counterpart is a nice term for the class pairs).

Maybe some will find it annoying, but I so glad to be on point, just feeling and predict the atmosphere along with the references to Homestuck recurrent themes.

Oh shit, I just realized I didn't saved AT ALL since I began to play. I was too excited haha.

Anyway, I like the "run wild through the forest". Like you!

Yeah! Looking down at sexism cause this shit is wack >:(

:D Ya’ a wizard Rosie, or a witch perhaps.

Yes you sweetie, you seems special and magic :)

It was stated by Andrew hussie that the classes had no actual gender specifically, just basically preferences, so I’ll list those

Class-preference

Maid-femaleMage-anyPage-maleKnight-anyRouge-anySylph-femaleSeer-anyThief-femaleHeir-maleBard-malePrince-male Witch-female

Just repeating, you CAN have any gender in any class, i.e. A female prince or bard and a male witch and sylph. Let your imagination run free

6 (8 if you include master classes) classes are gendered.

That means that if you’re, say, genderfluid, or nonbinary, you have under 1/2 of the options that everybody else does.

Or at least, that’s the way Calliope sees it. Personally, I don’t see it that way. I think that we all of an equal chance of any one class, unless we have something barring us (perhaps somebody is very sexist, meaning that they can only really be a Class “traditionally” for their gender).

OK, but Calliope comes from a binary society. She is the opposite of her brother, which makes her see women as being the exact opposite as men. And so to her, the idea of things not being cleanly divided is probably very foreign.

So I don’t think that classes have a gender limit, just ones that we perceive. Hussie himself has admitted that female Princes are possible, just very rare. So I would assume that would apply for the other classes too. It’s more a matter of... culture differences.

Every time a meta blog enforces gendered classes, an angel tears through the fabric of paradox space and starts harassing a Hope player to new heights of murderous bullshit.

I mean honestly, it's been a year. How are we still having this discussion?

At any rate, if a blog you respect and want input from is being dickish about the whole gendered classes thing, there's no shame in lying your ass off and saying you/your OC/whatever are male or female to get an analysis on the "gendered" titles.

Hey :D I’m feeling better now that my cold calmed down, thanks for asking <3  (Also thanks for the follow! I really appreciate it! <3)

I don’t think any classes are gendered. ((A while ago, Hussie actually came out and said females could be Princes, a class that was previously thought to be a male-exclusive class, which threw the idea of gender-exclusive classes out the window. So you can totally see a female Bard, alongside a stunning codpiece)).

But I do think the society you come from and that society’s attitudes on gender and gender roles might effect your class + aspect. So far, only women have been given the Space aspect - Jade and two Jade Blood trolls. In traditional human societies, women were the care-takers; they created life through birth, and then cared for that life. In troll society, Jade Bloods cared for the grubs and the Mother Grub. So a prerequisite for being a Space player might be coming from a society where you were expected to be a care-taker of some sort.

I also posted what I think male sylph and a male witch godtier would look like.

I define Passive/Active classes as:

Passive - one who invites aspect

Active -one who X with aspect

The X can be to Understand, Exploit, Manipulate, Steal or Create.

Not all Passive/Active classes are as Passive/Active as each other. I define a Mage as an Active class, but because they Understand/Learn through their Aspect they’re probably the most passive of the active classes. I define a Heir as Passive but they’re really active in-game, making them the most active of the passive classes.

Passive doesn’t mean they aren’t capable in combat, but it does look like more Passive classes then Active classes devote themselves to the people around them - like Rogues.

Active-Passive Pairs:

Thief-Rogue - Pretty obvious. Thieves steal actively for themselves while Rogue steals or invite the stealing of their aspect for others.

Maid-Sylph - Maids and Sylphs both create with their Aspect (Aradia creating Time and using it to freeze Jack), but Sylphs are more passive in that they are a healing class.

Prince-Bard - A Prince actively destroys with their Aspect like Bards cause destruction more through their own stupidity, or in more cunning ways.

Witch-Heir - Witches actively manipulate their Aspect, even twisting the rules of their Aspect, while Heirs, though active, are swept along by their Aspect.

Mage-Seer - both Understanding/Learning classes, but Seers use their knowledge to guide passively while Mages act on the knowledge they’ve been given.

Knight-Page - Both tank classes, but for different reasons. Knights exploit their aspect and use it as a weapon; Pages do this to, but more passively, and invite the exploitation of their aspect. Pages also take a lot longer to become skilled + powerful with their Aspect, while Knights jump straight in and start messing with shit immediately.
