Female avatar for boys

[John316]

I yearn for the days long past, when men were men, and women were women.

[Nate]

Heh...my first avatar was my darling Hotaru-chan, and Sunako kept calling me a girl because of it. ^^;;

[kaji]

I also govern my Avatar choice by the idea that it is a visual representation of who I am. It’s not my interests (as I put that in my sig), it is another way for people to identify what kind of person I am when they read my posts. ^_^

Mine is Ceasar Silverburg. A carefree, and light hearted strategic genius (among other things ).

I lean toward having my avatar the same gender as I am. However, I totally understand why someone would choose another gender for their avatar. There is no evil intent and obviously its not the conspiratorial gay world taking over. I mean, really sometimes we overthink things a bit too much. I'm not saying anyone that has written on this thread thinks that way, I'm just stating a point, well... because I tend to ramble (see UC? ^__^) and rant at times.

I mean, the avatar isn't really you, it's just some character that you like or admire. right?

My Blue avatar represents a character that I liked and that's about the only reason it's there. I can't say I act like a blue wolf... not all that often anyway. *grrrrr* "Whoa, full moon!" *goes off to howl*

I make it a point to let people on the internet know when they've made me laugh while eating/drinking. Thanks to t_n_c's statment above, I must now go in search for paper towels to get the iced tea out of my keyboard.

-___- and I was so serious, Gypsy... how dare you spit out tea over my seriousnessness.

[Gypsy]

*Laughs* I know you didn't mean for it to be funny, but the fact that it had to be said out loud was what got me.

[Hitokiri]

I was thinking really hard about this and asking myself..why does my avas and siggy's usually have anime girls on them?

To put it simply, my reasoning for it, is to show that anime girls can be portrayed in a non-sexual light but a more ... innocent light I guess. I see alot on secular anime forums how they think this anime girl is hot and sexy and stuff (and the hentai stuff as well) and I contuniuely fought that tpye of thinking and looking at girls in anime that way. So I guess this spawned to go against that thinking, they anime girls aren't sex symbols at all..even if they are drawn to be...much like in the outside anime. Of course, cause I took that stance on the issue I was flammed, attacked, and insullted for viewing girls (both real and anime) as actually people and not possessions

Well, for me I chose Motoko a couple years ago for ANN's forum (same avatar and nickname over there) because I couldn't fit a Puni Puni Poemi avatar in their requirements. Back then, you couldn't upload one, so it had to be whatever I could find on the net. Back then, she was my favorite LH chara, which was my favorite manga at the time.

When I decided to stay with this site, I decided to bring over the same avatar for consistency.

I'm happy enough with it so I don't plan to change. If I did, I'd probably go with Dark Evangel (Evangeline) from Negima, as she's my current favorite chara from my current favorite manga.

::ponders a bit::

Maybe this is why some members mistook me for a girl

Which is why I am very thankful that you have made it very clear in your signiture what gender you are- I assumed you were a girl until I scrolled down. 'Course I'm a noob, and now I know better than to make assumptions- EVER.

[Gypsy]

Good thing we have the gender symbols. I didn't realize how many people were gender confused here.

[Hitokiri]

I told my best friend about this and he said at least I havn't been mistook for a girl in his face. When he bags groceries, on several occassions he's gotten a "thankyou, ma'am"

He does have a young face for a 19 year old and long hair but I find it kinda funny that he's been called that.

[Gypsy]

Aww, your poor friend, Hitokiri. I wish I could say I didn't know how he felt. I'm mistaken for a boy (in real life, never here) on a regular basis. The other day the guy at EB called me "sir," and I responded to whatever he was asking. Then he looked up really fast and tripped over himself apologizing for the next couple of minutes. -_- Embarrassing. I think I'll grow my hair longer or wear more skirts.

[VioletEyedCat]

Noo!!! I love it when young girls have short hair- only the truly pretty can do it. And trust me- skirts can be a pain. I go to a private school where we have to wear them as part of the uniform- it's crazy annoying at times.

[Hitokiri]

hahaha talking about guys looking like girls....we made one of our friends where makeup and crossdress on his 18 birthday. I still have pictures to show his future wife or kids hee hee hee. That was like 3 years ago,.

[Gypsy]

And trust me- skirts can be a pain. I go to a private school where we have to wear them as part of the uniform- it's crazy annoying at times.

Totally understood. I went to private school and had to put up with the uniform as well. That's why I hate skirts so much now. ^^]I still have pictures to show his future wife or kids hee hee hee.[/quote] You're an evil girl. Boy. I meant boy.

[Felix]

LOL! You guys are funny! XD
Um...I don't think I've ever been mistaken for the opposite sex...

Noo!!! I love it when young girls have short hair- only the truly pretty can do it.

Yup. I agree. I love it when girls wear shorter hair! They're attractive that way!
(Not saying that girls with long hair aren't pretty too!! )

[Swordguy]

well ummm i don't think i have ever been confused for that before...allthought i would seriously get the persons head cheaked who thought that...unless i would happen to be on alot of steirods i could not imagine any girl looking like me....

[Hitokiri]

well ummm i don't think i have ever been confused for that before...allthought i would seriously get the persons head cheaked who thought that...unless i would happen to be on alot of steirods i could not imagine any girl looking like me....

Well....I might just be guessing but the name Swordguy may imply you are a male...

[Solid Ronin]

Cause girls are prettier than boys...least I think so.

[Syaoran]

um for me no I have not been mistaken for the oppiset sex but there are those who whant to know were I got my avitar

[Zedian]

Totally understood. I went to private school and had to put up with the uniform as well. That's why I hate skirts so much now. ^^; And careful about the short haired thing - I could have quite the repulsive face behind the Yuffie avatar. Or, in keeping in line with the thread, I could really be a guy and no one would know it. o.O

Oh my!!!!

Now that I think about it, what if everyone on CAA is totally gender confused and everyone is really the opposite of they claim to be......this is starting to confuzzle me.

[Steve Racer]

Wow lookie what I started!

Where's the popcorn smiley?

[Gypsy]

Actually, Straylight set up an April Fools Day joke where everyone's gender marker switched for the day. It was very amusing. ^^

[LorentzForce]

Good thing I don't have the gender marker, or else people will confuse me even further on April 1st!

[termyt]

The lack of gender mark is definitely part of the confusion. My mind tends to go with the gender of the avatar anyway and with out the gender mark, there's nothing to correct me.

I think another part of the confusion comes from your pseudonym. “Hitokiriâ€

[Mr. SmartyPants]

because Sakaki is the CUTEST character ever!

[antefurem]

I am gender neutral.

Because pink fuzzy monkeys don't have genders!

Fear me.

[_Sin_]

i usually look for the gender symbols beside peoples names anyway, so i don't mistake people, prob because i'm used to gettind mistaken for a girl ocassionaly by people... (its my long hair...)

Funny you say that because I mistook the character in your avy as a girl at first (atleast for one whole episode of Peace Maker Kurogane!).

Cause girls are prettier than boys...least I think so.

Yeah, right. I have a panty shot of 'her' as well but I really don't want you to change your sexual alignment after seeing it. *shudders at the thought of the panty shot*

I'm using a female avy because it looks better than male avy to me. This has nothing to do with my gender
