Because most characters I like are female, and I just like staring at cute girls, so I put the girls I like the most on display.

Besides, why would it matter whether or not I have an avatar that resembles my own gender? Does it somehow invalidate everything I say or believe in?

Honestly, ask yourself why most females have male avatars . . . I would imagine that the answer is for the same reason (although I could be wrong). Sorry, I personally have no idea so that is the best answer I could give.

You mean why I would want to be greeted by a sexy anime girl every time I return to my profile instead of a bishounen I couldn't care less about?

Go figure

Yes I am actually Len Kagamine. I am a synthetic vocalist anime boy.

This. I am literally Satsuki Shishio, and none of you can tell me otherwise.

I have a female avatar because she's my favourite character. Her being a different gender to me had nothing to do with it.


This. I know I'm not contributing much to the conversation, but anything I may say about the topic essentially comes down to this. I guess you could say I'm just reinforcing the argument.

Because this is as close as I can get to actually having sex with it.

if you asking such question you must still be into this stereotype where girls supposed to like only cute girly things and guys manly cool things.
forum avatar is just a representation of what person likes ofourse if you would see a guy wearing some moe shirt or walking arround with his anime waifu/husbando pic in real life you would think of him as of weirdo but on internet it doesnt matter.

Perhaps because my interests lie in the opposite sex.

Not all of us have waifu pics! Using a character I'd 'want to have sex with' or whatever for an avatar doesn't appeal to me. It's more like I identify with Miho, and I half-jokingly say the girl with a crush on her is my waifu.

Because they are weebs and are desperate to get laid, ayy lmao

No, it's because they can, or that the female character is their favourite or looks HAWT, idk.

I've had both female and male pictures in my profile. I just put whatever I think looks good. It's a profile picture, not a user picture. Ill probably change it to a female soon, I'm sure all the davido kuns will be grateful.

because anime tends to make a lot more dull male characters and or male characters that are too alpha for most of the male audience to connect with. Female characters tend to draw interest of males because they're males and they like girls that fulfill their fantasy pixie girl dreams.

Personally, it's just having one of my favourite characters as my profile pic. It'll change from time to time and sometimes it'll happen to be a girl, a guy, a mech, animal, etc.

I keep a female character as my avatar to remind me how alone and pathetic I am.

Oh wait, forgot that I only change it during Christmas, now I really am alone and pathetic.
