litphoria

Assign a CSS class to character names in the chatrooms and RP rooms based on gender, so users can assign different colors to each class, or assign different colors by default.

I'm not sure that something like this makes sense in Litphoria's character model, like it would on F-List.

Well, just doing it on "gender" would be quite limited in scope. I presume people would also want to know about the sex of a profile from such a thing, though.

Either way, a system, or easy way of distinguishing between character's genders from the chat would be appreciated. I don't think it would be too complicated to implement, especially if the colours were vaguely similar to the F-list ones.

Basically as follows if (mental = f && (expression = f || andro) && genitals = vagina) => pink else if (mental = m && (expression = m || andro) && genitals = penis) => blue else if (mental = f && (expression = f || andro) && genitals = penis) => light purple else if (mental = m && (expression = m || andro) && genitals = vagina) => green else if (genitals = herm) => purple // Otherwise character is in the non binary else => orange

This way, it is easy to tell roughly the gender of the characters you are RPing with. The orange is what would be a trans character on f-list, but (thankfully) that's not classed as a gender here (because it's not), and it makes sense for non-binary characters to have their own colour, rather than be grouped with anyone else.

Theoretically the most useful thing to use to determine it would be the mental gender, since that would be the one that would determine pronoun usage, and thus offers immediate utility if you should refer to someone with feminine or masculine pronouns.

I definitely do not want to a bunch of colors to the palette just for doing gender coloring, though. We have lots of different themes here of very different qualities.

Maybe there needs to be another solution for easily accessing basic character details from the chat window then? Maybe some sort of tooltip option on hover?
