A lot of people are saying "no", that it isn't reportable, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "yes", that it is reportable.
From the ToU:
viii. Participating in any action which, in the sole and exclusive judgment of Riot Games, defrauds any other user of the Game, including by scamming or social engineering;
Since your goal is to deceive someone and trick them into giving you skins on account of being supposedly a girl, I would count that as defrauding a player by scamming.
So, don't do it.
No, not at all. Just very, very pathetic.
it would probably help if you changed your name to something more girlie
Nope, but it's a degenerate thing to do. But if some reject gets you a skin just because he think you're a girl then he deserves to be "Scammed".
If shit hits the fan just say that you identify as a woman. Don´t forget, nowadays everyone can be whatever he or she or it wants.
I don't think so. It's a strategy that's been used in gaming since the beginning of time.
You gonna main supp as well then? Gotta make that picture complete, you know.
It’s pretty disgusting to prey on people’s emotions to get free stuff, reportable? Maybe. Pathetic? YES.
hold on a second, people still fall for that?

Not sure but I do know it's pathetic
i mean its a really dickheaded way of getting free stuff, but no its not in any way, shape, or form report able, simply because its at the gifters discretion to send it in the first place. if they gift it solely because they think your a girl, then that's on them.
its the internet, trust no one.
I aint hating!
Lol.. who the hell falls for that nowadays?
Yes, it is allowed.
That seems awfully short-sighted - why limit the pool of gift givers to heteronormative males? Surely there’s a woman out there dying to gift you with Sewn Chaos Orianna, or a Hired Gun Lucian (you know, the one that looks too good to be true).
Resorting to scumbag tactics i see.
It takes a pretty dumb player to assume anyone is girl in this kind of game. The last time rito did post stats about the playerbase their numbers showed over 90% were male. The fact is women don't play these games even remotely as much as men boys.
Do people.... Actually do that? I've been a supp main for years. Sometimes maining raka and the other "egirl" supps. Never been randomly gifted, I assumed that was more of a meme in this game.
egirls /ethots are already disgraceful enough to do that, but a guy pretending to be one? that's actually WORST.
but if you decide to do that, i vote for namechange to xXclitmaster69Xx
Ok, but what if you just play only female supports like sona, soraka, janna, lux, lulu, evelyn and have a girly name, but y ou dont say you are a girl, you let them assume you are and let them give you gifts, would that be ok?
in a way, giving free stuff makes them happy since they think you are a girl and they give you gifts and it makes me happy since i get items, whats the problem here with making both sides happy?

If I get a post banned on this thread for "discussing gender" without even saying anything offensive, then this entire thread should be deleted because it Is literally a thread discussing gender.
