| 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. |

It doesn't always work but I'd say the accuracy is higher than usual. Oh? What's my gender in that case? I'm curious. On-topic: I don't think it's disgusting, I know enough females who use males as avatar. And even if you like the character because you think she hot, I still can't see why it would be bad. |

Yeah, picking male seems like the safer bet. lol Though honesty, it doesn't really matter to me. Even if you specified your gender on your profile, my reaction would have been "Oh, okay" either way. |

Kairen said: I'm just going to say this to let it out of my chest. I don't find the joke funny but rather...disturbing. It's making me feel bad for calling people it :[ Well, it kinda was my ulterior motive to reveal that calling people "it" has its flaws since that book always comes to mind when people try to stay gender neutral on the internet. But I've been postin' on forums for a while, and I find that there isn't much of a need to be politically correct on forums on both sides; the one making the assumption about another's gender, and the one's whose gender is being assumed about. Because really, a guy who legitimately believes that only males post on forums is narrow-minded, and a girl going around on forums saying "I'm a girl! Don't call me a dude!" does more harm than good. |

It doesn't always work but I'd say the accuracy is higher than usual. Oh? What's my gender in that case? I'm curious. 1. Male. It's the avatar bias at work. 2. Male again. The avatar looks like it's geared more towards a male audience. But I'm also stereotyping a lot. Take this flowchart I made with a grain of salt: |

| They use those avatars because they like them, oh and it's more swag. |

| male celebrities are fine imo, the weird vibes mostly come from when people who are obviously dudes are using female celebrity/random little Japanese girl pics |

| Definitely gross! What guy would use a girl as their avatar? Oh.....that's right......me. |
 |
| Well...you can't blame guys who try to gain sexual appeal by using girl avatars. It seems normal to me. |
 |
| I'm only bothered if they lead others into thinking that they are actually females, if they make it clear in what they say or how they present themselves then I'm cool with it. |
| I like to think I'm a fucking angel, do you have a problem? |

| I like to think of it as a community montage. It's kind of like throwing fishfood, tomatoes and icecream into a blender. But at least I know to avoid talking to fishfood and manage to notice that icecream is sweet but cold. |
| Most people don't know this, but this Pigeon is actually a Rock Dove... Misleading, I know. I do cringe a little seeing fire heart and that one guy who uses Mikoto, since her and Shinobu are my top favorite characters. But it's definitely not disgusting. |
 |
| I'm obviously fine with it because of my avatar... But I don't really understand how anyone could find it misleading; you're obviously not that character, so why would you be that character's gender? Thought it's understandable for original artwork avatars or not well known characters. But I have all my basic details on my profile so it's not like I'm hiding who I am. |
| It's an avatar, it's supposed to represent something you enjoy through a picture not advertise what freakin' gender you are! Besides, nothin' wrong with being a girly boy if that's you're thing. I like to wear dresses sometimes for my girlfriend (not fucking with you!) and I've been described as pretty manly and somewhat burly occasionally sporting a full on beard! She seems to love it, in fact it's usually her that gets me started. And for people getting a disturbing mental image, I do shave my beard before donning my pretty clothes. ^^ |
