| Oi, lemme tell you a story. So, this one guy, on this one website that I shall not name, was pretending to be a chick and saying weird crap to get popular. Like, talking about tea or random stuff. Sure enough, this fake account got popular. This fake persona even went as far as getting called "The Queen". It was nuts. He even went as far as posting a fake picture to maintain this persona. And he also caused a lot of drama, so he faked this female's personas death. Yeah, not even kidding. So, like a year later he tells his two closest friends on the website bout this. Then they go to a smaller group of members, including myself, and spill the beans, and everyone goes batshit crazy and the news is spread like wildfire and the guy, needless to say gets lynched by like half the website. My point is, lying can only lead to deep, deep shit. So I think it is bad to lie about your gender. Though it isn't that possible for it to escalate as much as this case, but still, small lies can get bad real quick. |

| It can be funny as a joke but otherwise it's usually very creepy guys thinking they can take advantage by faking their gender. |

| if someone does that I would feel like maybe they have a bit of gender dysphoria or are just too curious for their own good. If they dont and they did something like that it just seems really strange when its more than just a joke |
| It's pathetic. I've witnessed this kind of thing not only in MAL, but also in online games, and well pretty much anywhere you go online. Guys putting up a female front when posting on messageboards to attract attention, or posing as girls online in order to steal thirsty guys' items for their own benefit. It's sad how people go this far as to even fake the other gender (your title applies the other way around too), but at the same time, it's also sad how some people are so thirsty they don't even consider this possibility and nasty situations result. It's not limited to just guys and girls, either *cough* |

| I think its weird but gotta let people i.e. guys discover their inner femininity |

Cersei said: I suppose I don't mind when it's a small joke, but I find the people who try their best to come off as a girl really weird. I don't see the appeal in it, unless you're really desperate for some attention (mostly from other males at that, which makes it even weirder). Or they're trying to connect with girls. Either way, it's definitely fucked up, and really pathetic. |
| I am a loli. |
| Yes, very very weird. I can't even begin to comprehend the reasoning behind it. |
 |
| It's not for me, but whatever floats their boat. |
| I think id make a pretty gril |
| Good thing I treat both genders the same on MAL: Like shit~ |

| The gender that a stranger on the Internet may-or-may-not-have in real life doesn't mean anything to me. If you want to pretend to be a girl then go ahead. Maybe you believe in gender-fluidity, just want different treatment, or just want free games? I don't care. In the last case... the people who give out games to random girls are much worse. It's what losers who call themselves 'nice guys' and complain about the 'friendzone' do to make up for their lack of personality, and they're clearly pretty desperate. Anyone who feels genuine hatred for someone pretending to be a girl on the Internet should probably start doing some pretending themselves... and put on a persona where they act as though they are not secretly an ass. |

Zeev said: As long as they are not serial killers, I don't mind it. I don't care about people's genders anyway. |
| I don't have much of an opinion about that. It's kinda like any other fake persona people put up on the internet. |
 |
| why would they do that here? are there any advantages by pretending to be a girl on MAL? |
KuroGinzo said: No. Some people here are just gross attention whores.why would they do that here? are there any advantages by pretending to be a girl on MAL? |

| Secretly everyone wishes they were a girl, much more fascinating creatures. |
Anmoly97 said: Coincidentally, my current avatar on RS is a girl. I had an excuse though, because my RSN is Railgun. (I kinda failed designing her character though lol, fking Jagex and their shitty character customizations)fking lol m8 when I used to play runescape I did this shit ;) At least they have good looking twintails. |
|
| it's messed up period. |
| I pretended to be a girl in a chatroom once to see if my female friends, who kept telling me they get constantly harrased, were right about that. No 10 seconds later about 4 or 5 guys wrote me if I want to fuck. That was fun. |
 |
| hm, I'm pretty neutral towards that. Although some of my friends here do exactly that, they just do it for fun I guess... they don't totally pretend, either, because if you ask them they'll just tell you they're male xD I think it would be fun for the person doing it, not so much for the other people getting 'decieved' |
SnugglyWhuggly said: What about girls who pretend to be guys online? I personally haven't come across either, aside from guys who play as female characters in MMOs or online games, but they still very much identify with being "male". Agree with this. + I usually have a male and female character in MMOS and in RPG games I prefer Female if they look ok, why smash 900 hours into skyrim looking at some dude when I can look a hot ass for 200 hours #BigJigglyBoobPhysics Though properly pretending to be a girl online is weird, though if someone in chat who your not even voic chatting with says they're a girl, I really wouldn't believe them because either they're an attention whore which I don't like or probably lying, since if your a real gamer why does it matter who you are IRL... |
 |
| Some people will do anything to get something from someone, and those people are pathetic. But some people have identity issues, so I don't give those people much trouble. |
 |
| Its weird in online communities. Its normal in one time conversations, which I myself do occasionally unless the convo turns serious the I tell the truth. |
| I don't understand it honestly, like its not changing anything at all. Imo they must just crave the attention cause they're probably some type of outcast/outsider irl and the creepy online attention makes them feel good? Idk, i think its weird. |
| It's pretty pathetic, especially when they start having cyber sex with another dude |
| So, guys actually do that? I mean... okay... for me, I used the internet as a younger person to "escape" in a way, being trans and not able to express it, online games/forums were a means for me to do that, the difference is that it was never with the intent to be flirtatious and cybering or whatever some of these guys do. and it surprised me meeting other people in real life who said they did the exact same thing as me. I'm not sure if most people who do it are the same way, or if they are just... weird. i guess most of you think i'm weird though... or... a "trap" < say that to me in real life and I will kill you. |
