Basic Trope: In works featuring a Virtual Paper Doll, female characters will have a much broader choice of options than male characters.

  • Straight: In Tropers Online, there are twice as many articles of clothing for women than there are for men.
  • Exaggerated: Women get thousands of pieces of clothing, while men are limited to six shirts and two pairs of pants.
  • Downplayed: Most clothing is made with female characters in mind, but can still be worn by males.
  • Justified: The clothesmaker and sellers are under the impression that women are more fashion conscious, and therefore selling women's clothing are more profitable.
  • Inverted: ???
  • Gender Inverted: There are more clothing options for male avatars than female avatars.
  • Subverted: An update adds 1000 more skins for male character outfits, while not adding a single piece to the female wear.
  • Double Subverted: The next update adds 100,000 clothes that are exclusively female.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig Zagged:
    • Each update that adds new clothes is heavily skewed towards one gender.
    • Tropers Online's clothins shops only sell one type of male clothing, as opposed to the 10 styles available for females. However, the former is highly customizable, while the latter are static, so depending on the players, the male characters may end up with more variance of clothing.
  • Averted: Every piece of clothing in-game can be worn by both genders.
  • Enforced: Adding new clothes to the game takes a lot of effort, and 80% of players use a female avatar, so adding male clothing is less worthwhile.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: One of the characters is a fashion designer whose goal is to help men have more varied clothing.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
