Does the gender of your profile picture match up with your real gender?
| I was confused as to why these men have anime girl profile pictures, is it to flaunt around their waifu, or maybe they just like the idea of looking female, or maybe it was a random set of previous subconscious events that triggered the synapsis in said person's brain to choose that avatar over a hamburger or something Are you supposed to be attracted to your profile picture or something, does that make me gay then Maybe I should just make mine something that doesn't discriminate or alienate, like a wooden chair can you see this post has no structure |

| I think people just want to use whatever they like, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I use pictures I think are cute |

| Normal people understand that a profile picture is meant to represent who you are. Socially clueless weebs just think it is for themselves to look at. |
| maybe, i cant actually tell but the species definitely does |
| I think especially on MAL the profile picture is more often something you like rather than something that shows who you are. |

My current one is just a cute Hima doodle I found while searching archives. I just think it's a cute drawing, ya know? (usually, it's just something that fits my current aesthetic though. :p) |

| What gender is my profile picture? This is akin to asking why one makes characters of the opposite gender in video games, and the answer is almost always eye candy. However in the context of degenerates on MAL, it is because anime girls are too kawaii that they want to be them. |

| Letters are neuter and words are feminine so no they don't. |

| My pfp is L and he is male so he matches up my gender.Also it would be better if it is in the forum games. |

| I remember the fallen, do they think of me? When their bones in the ocean forever will be I remember the living do they think of me? When my bones in the ocean forever will be |
| On the internet, no one knows that I'm actually a mushroom. |
 |
| I use whatever photo can be used as a set, and because I like the art or character. I switch up the gender of the character whenever because it's the art that I like. Some of my sets come from OCs some artists drew. |

YaSoldat said: no it does not match my gender but look at her shes drinking juice thats pretty neat Actually dude, she's not drinking juice. It's some sort of brown drink. I think it might be ice tea. |
| I use whatever looks kawaii. I don't take it very seriously nor feel the need to represent what I look like through a profile picture. |
 |
| she's cute, like me. thus I use her visage |

I think it might be ice tea. Wow, and all this time I just assumed she was drinking juice. Thanks for noticing this detail, hope you enjoyed the anime as much as I did. I will now correct my previous post to say that she was drinking chocolate milk because I think that it is more cute. Have a good day. |

| No, both my forum set and pfp are male. Rather than representing myself as Enkidu like I did before, I went with characters or franchises I like. |
 |
| Yea we're girls. Shes no waifu tho, especially in this form |
| Of course, im a guy irl. Y'all use different genders? |
| I can hardly think of an anime character that match me physically and I don't know why I should bother when anonymity is pretty much the way here so I just put whatever pleases me to look at or that would communicate something about my taste since that's mostly what I'm here to talk about. |

| When I choose a picture, the aesthetic aspect ist the most important thing, so it doesn't have to be one of my favorite characters, for example. As things are right now, I like both of the characters I use very much (and they are indeed characters that I would put on a "favorite characters" list). I have a male character as my forum avatar, and a female character as my profile picture. That's the way I've had it for most of my time on this site. Since we're talking about the profile picture, no it doesn't match up with my gender. I decided before that I'd like to have a male character in particular as my forum avatar, since I am also male. I am happy with the decision since I think it makes my avatar a bit more memorable. And that is because most people, whether male or female, do use female characters as their avatars after all. Or at least that is the impression I've gotten. A lot of the avatars I use on other sites are pictures of female characters from manga or anime. One reason for this is that I want to give off the impression that I am a "weeb", and most weebs choose such pictures. In other words, it is an influence coming from other people. It's also because I want to sort of communicate one of my interests, which is of course reading manga. When I was a bit younger, I didn't have as much influence from other people. My avatars could be very random, and when I chose a manga avatar, it would often be a male character. Like Gecko Moria for example, he has been my favorite One Piece character for a very long time. Or Yamamoto from Bleach. |

| Yes, even the dick size is accurate. |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| Lol nope mine doesn't. Mine is the symbol of the Bene Tleilax, my favourite race of beings from the Dune series of books/films. |
 |
| Yes my gender indeed is zombie BDSM moomin. |
 |
| I'm not sure if Hisoka identifies as a man. It would be problematic if I assume he does. Sorry, can't give a satisfying answer. |

|
| You question why would boys use a pfp of a female character, but not say anything about girls using pfps of male ones? When it's exactly the same situation? |
| My profile pic doesn’t match my real gender. I thought the scene where it comes from was really funny and I wanted to take a screenshot to remember it. |
 |
| My forum and youtube pfp is a female videogame character so no. My mal pfp is Emi Yusa which is also a female. I just use it since I like how it looks, and SMT series desserves more fame. |

I think he’s androgynous, you could also call him non-binary. Same applies to a lot of other characters like Orochimaru as well. For me, my profile pic matches up with my gender. Itachi is male and so am I. |
 |
| i just like how the pic looks, probably the same case for people with non-human pfps here |
| My profile pic? Yes. My forum pic? No. |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| Don't know, haven't asked my owl yet about its gender. |

As for Orochi, I don't even remember wtf he's supposed to be. Some gay ass snake niqqajutsu. |
|
| pfp is male, just as I am. forum avatar is god knows what. I am just a in the mood kind of guy for pfp, neither gender have an advantage of becoming my pfp, maybe female has a slight adv thinking about it tho. |

| Lol it depends on whether or not you view me as a guy. |

| It's just a PNG, it doesn't really say anything about your real gender For me, yes |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| Yes it certainly does. I am a woman and a proud one at that. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| I just like to showcase my (potential) femininity towards potential forumites who'd like to hit on little o'l me. ;) |
