Female avatar for boys

[Stephen]

That is borderline horrifying. I am going to go cry blood now.

Actually the manga it's taken from has a lot of beatiful looking girls but the main character somehow promised to date the friend of the girl friend of his friend, my friend. She's there for comedy relief and she does it pretty well if I may say so because she herself thinks she's the epitome of womanliness ]Girls Saurus[/B]

[Lunis]

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

*lol* Yeah, that was funny. People kept saying that they just realized I was a guy, and I had to explain to them what the admins did.

Rofl! That cracked me up!

I use guy avatars because guys are almost always my favorite characters, and I enjoy being like my favorite characters.

[Hitokiri]

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*

OH MY GOSH!!! THAT PIC LOOKED LIKE MY 8TH GRADE HEALTH/GYM TEACHER!!!

::goes off and hides in sock drawer mumbling some incoherant words while sobbing::

I'm serious.

[K. Ayato]

I don't see why a guy can't have a female character in his avatar. I mean, c'mon, I'm a girl and I have Heero Yuy as my avatar. I basically chose it 'cause I liked the attitude in the picture, and I was bored with my original Duo avatar.

i think im gonna be sick

[Fsiphskilm]

DAAAAAA

[ShiroiHikari]

...and I JUST noticed that ShiroiHikari is female. Whoa...

sigh...it must be the Hyde pictures I have plastered all over my sig and in my avatar. since he apparently looks like a woman or something. pbbbbbt.

okay okay, I'm kidding. people have mistaken me for a guy before, although I don't get why. XD it happened once or twice in real life too. -_-

[quote="termyt"]I think another part of the confusion comes from your pseudonym. “Hitokiriâ€

[Solid Ronin]

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!).

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

There are of course exceptions to the rule.

[Pent]

i never use girl avatars.......but thats just me

[Jeikobu]

For one, I love Ai Yori Aoshi, for two, Aoi-chan makes me think about my future wife who I can't wait for God to show me. I hope she is just like Aoi-chan (with a strong walk with God of course ). ^^

[CobaltAngel]

I wish I was a boy. Wait... no... no I don't.

[chibi_chan]

This pic of Haruka was to cute so I made an avi of it.

When I was little I always wanted to be a boy, because I always felt less of a person going to school (me being a girl and all)....not anymore now, though. I do however like to make my characters in my storys, look like the opposite gender....becuase i'm weird.

heh heh, that happens alot with Okita (apparently to the historical Okita as well) lol, i guess thats 1 reason i empathise with the char so much

But that's why we love you! *huggles chibi-chan* I don't particularly care what gender avatars are so long as I'm sure what gender the actual person is. So long as I'm really clear on that, their avatar doesn't matter much.

[Tidus20]

And no, Tintin is not a girl!

I guess this is a little late, but who is Tintin?

[Raiden no Kishi]

A French cartoon character, I believe. He's the dude on Warrior's avatar.

[Doubleshadow]

It quite well reinforces his masculinity if you know what it means. I don't know many girls who would call themselves "assassin" or "manslayer".

Rai

Bahahaha! Poor Hitokiri! He has a "man's man" kind of name and people think he's a girl!

I scared the tar out of a freshmen one year when I went to school as a guy for oppossite day during spirit week. I fooled my teachers, too, but I attribute that to my good acting ability. I once was asked if I was a boy (once was enough) by a kid when I was helping out with bible school. I thought, "OK, need to grow out my hair and get a new wardrobe."

I pick characters I like as avatars, and I pick girls (when it's a person) because my screen name is confusing to some people. Right now, I'm using Cheza as a reminder to work on the qualities that the character has that I don't (gentleness and submissiveness in Cheza's case).

[Aka-chan]

When I was little I always wanted to be a boy, because I always felt less of a person going to school (me being a girl and all)....not anymore now, though. I do however like to make my characters in my storys, look like the opposite gender....becuase i'm weird.

Me too, chibi_imouto-chan! Only, I always took on the male roles in make believe because I wanted to be the one doing the fighting and heroic stuff, and that was always the guy's job, especially in things like the Disney movies I watched.

Now, if I feel like I want to be a guy, it's becuase I'd love to be a Jrocker, but they tend to look even more effeminate than I do, so I figure being a girl gives me a headstart and I'm happy. Though my manga guys do tend to look like girls... <.< >.>

[Syaoran]

Boys with girl avitars hmmm. we just like to I guess

[Godly Paladin]

I don't really know why they do. I would never do it. If I wanted to display a cute bishoujo, I'd do it in my sig. Avvies are sort of the "face" of the member, and I don't want my face to be a girl's.

[Sparrowhawk]

I dunno for sure, i would never do it. But my guess would be there are a lot of really good anime that have female characters that the story revolves around. That would be my guess as it is the only simple solution i can think of. Well, then again, some people just doing something different. I would fall under that catergory a lot, but i still don't think i would choose a female avatar, if i could pick an avatar anyway, but then again, i don't see a big deal about it. Just what some people pick; their avatar is up to them after all.

[Joshua Christopher]

I like to draw my own stuff. I'm working on an original signature, too. ^_^

Right now I have little BIG-FIRE as my avatar. BIG-FIRE in jeans and such. I'm going to change it eventually.

Be it a female character or whatever, I just like to draw my own junk.

[soul alive]

personally, i have somewhat of a self-portrait for my avatar. but i tend to look at the gender symbol, since i usually look at the name anyway, since it's less confusing than trying to keep up with frequently changing avatars.

Wasn't there a Megatokyo strip about this? Largo was pestering Piro as to why he used a girl in Endgames and Piro basically told him that Largo was the weird one because he obsessed over his bulked out manly man rather than a cute girl. I'll go see if I can find the strip somewhere.

i found the strip you were talking about, Shirt Guy Dom day... due to some content though, i won't post a link to that strip, but if folks are curious enough, the strip is number 328.

I once was asked if I was a boy (once was enough) by a kid when I was helping out with bible school. I thought, "OK, need to grow out my hair and get a new wardrobe."

*Winces* Yes, it's always the kids that will say exactly what they're thinking. I feel bad for the mothers that have to cover their kid's mouth after the child asks me why I'm in the girl's bathroom, or asked me very loudly "Are you a boy or a girl?" Yes ... time to grow the hair out again. -_- And I look older with long hair, so people might actually believe that I'm in my 20s instead of asking me when I'm graduating high school.

Ah, a SGD, no wonder I couldn't find it. ^^; Thanks for finding it, and you did the right thing by not direct linking. Dom does tend to be less restrained than Fred. ^^;

^^ no problem

My answer's also a little late ]1930's[/B]!)

When it can be found, it's usually in the kid's section of bookstores, but it's pretty enjoyable even at my age and can give manga a run for it's money.
