Yeah, but the point here is that they were posing as women with female looking avatars. One guy even says that he would have reacted differently if it was male:
Another participant reported that he would have reacted differently had he been in the role of a man, but since he was embodying a female character, he chose instead to walk away.
In Portuguese it's spelled coronel and pronounced just like that, with the R in the middle. I can't think of a single word where the L and R interchange. I can't speak for other romance languages though.
