Most of my favourite characters are females so it's only normal to have them as avatars.

And nobody should care about this... it's stupid.

Do people who use animals or objects as avatars have species identity disorder? Your avatar isn't you, so what difference does it make?

i sense a lot of sarcasm in this thread. which is totally appropriate.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with a guy using a female avatar. being a chick, i always want to log on and see my favorite anime guy next to my posts (srry for the k-drama avatar, i'm working on it!)

normally i use Guts from Berserk. Why? b/c i love him. Does that make me creepy? no more so than a guy using his fave chick.

very silly indeed

Idk, maybe he really is a no-body?

And maybe I'm a dude full of rage trying to make everyones dream a nightmare, huehuehue

But yeah, nothing wrong with a different gender avatar, heck I'm almost considering changing mine to Toshinou Kyouko

This is an anime forum, I picked my avatar based on my favorite character and taste in anime. I don't really care what anyone stupid enough to pass judgement based off peoples' female avatars thinks.

My profile avatar is male, but my forum avatar is female - big deal..besides if you're really that interested in somebody's gender you can just go read it on their profile.

Most of the time people use avatars because they find that character cute or they just like the character in general, they have no intention gender switching.

Alright I admit it. I'm not actually a raven, but a seagull. SQUAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!*Steals your lunch*

Using an avatar of a character whose gender is opposite to yours does NOT mean you're trying to pass off as the opposite gender. Geez!

I'm 100% sure no dude here is using a cute female avatar with the intention to be fapped to by other dudes.

don't really find anything wrong with guys using female avatars and vice versa as long as you don't pretend to be a chick/guy LOL.
I play female characters in MMORPGs as well but i make it pretty fucking clear that I'm a dude.

I don't mind it but I wish people would use their real selves for their profile pic. Would be cool to match a face with the username.

It actually would be pretty cool, but >privacy and all that stuff.

I just go with characters I like. Ikaros is my avatar but Harima is my profile pic. On another site, I had Spike as my avatar but Asuka as my profile pic. Gender doesn't really matter to me; I just go with characters I like.

I don't know if this is true for other people, but for me the character designs in anime rarely reflect the type of male I find appealing. I don't like Justin Bieber's in real life and I don't like them in anime. When anime does try to have "manly" characters, I find they usually fail miserably. Female character designs usually perfectly mirror my taste in reality (as perfectly as stylized 2D characters can) , so I prefer to look at them.

How is having a character that you like as your avatar creepy?

Who cares....

I may have Taiga as my avatar, but you can just click my name and go to my profile where it says male. lol

And why should it matter if someone is a boy or a girl, unless you're trying to use this as some kind of dating site.....

Since we are on the topic of why guys shouldnt have a female pic as their avatar, why are girls allowed to have guy pics as their avatars? I mean, COME ON, so misleading to those poor gay guys :( (I am not)
