About how many of you have a problem with this?

I know a few people who think that's it disgusting and misleading, but I really couldn't disagree more with them.


I don't take it as far as disgusting, but I do think it is misleading. That being said I can understand the feeling of wanting your favorite model as your picture.

My Avatar changes between Yuno, Alucard and Kyonko (sometimes without me wanting it, dam MAL) since they are some of my Fav chars. Their gender has nothing to do with my decisions.

It makes for some interesting situations on other forums where people who aren't familiar with anime icons strike up a conversation with you. It also helps when you type in a girly fashion and use a lot of emoticons.

Anyways, I'm not against people doing it; it's just really confusing, even after you read their profile and it says 'male' or 'female.' I'll still end up addressing them accidentally by the gender of their avatar.

I do this as well, it doesn't really bother me at all that people do it, just I always end up of thinking someone is female or male based on their avatar.

People usually use a picture of something they like that pertains to the message board they are on.

On the japanese doll boards, i use japanese doll pics. does that mean i'm a japanese doll? This logic can be used for any board or site that uses an avatar.

i simply cannot understand what is offensive or misleading by using a picture of a character you like on an anime board. I haven't heard a good argument for why it is misleading for a guy to use a pic of a female character.

Does a something as simple as an avatar define who you are IRL?

I don't even really associate genders into forums when I'm on them.

I only tag someone as guy or a girl if I am friends with them and actually chat with them on a regular basis.

What's the problem here?
I'm a male with a female avatar. I don't see anything particularly wrong with that. People take forum avatars too seriously. Really I just use whatever's lying around on my harddrive that looks kinda cool. It's not that big of a deal, really.

i think you are saying that cross-dressers have invaded our avatars. j/k j/k god what a headache.
confusing? i guess thats a better term.

it comes down to the fact that we are on the net. i don't really take much at face value. who knows who we are talking to... on the net its anyones choice to misrepresent themselves. i wouldn't believe the stats on member profiles either hehe.

It's funny because I can guess someone's gender depending on the type of male or female avatar they're using. The username tends to be a giveaway too. It doesn't always work but I'd say the accuracy is higher than usual.
