Well the rule of thumb on Comic Vine is that girls will defend Gambit & for some reason guys seem to hate him.Blueruler182 said:
...This is exactly why I'm confused for a girl online!!!likalaruku said:
I don't know many girl comic-lovers in real life (though in hindsight I should have asked her out), but almost everyone I do know, guys included (making it more than that one girl), they all seem to love Gambit. Except in the movie.
I wouldn't say he She's my best friend on here, but I thought Greyfox was a chap ever since I joined...
Who was it?Sassafrass said:
It was VaudevillianVeteran, before I knew her well.Jedamethis said:
And it was due to a thread in Forum Games where everyone just kept referring to her as a guy so I went along with it.
That's why I never refer to anyone by gender. Since I usually only stick my nose into the gaming topics, the situation rarely comes up.
As for myself, it's never been questioned. At least not that I can remember.
Don't know if my username has anything to do with it, but I'm guessing my avatar makes it pretty clear.
Assuming people make a first guess on avatars. As I do. But now I'm just repeating what everyone else has already said. So I'll stop now.

Yeah... I'm gonna go with:Disaster Button said:
You have a female avatar, so people naturally assume you're female. Most people responding to a post aren't checking your profile, so all they really have to go on is your avatar.
It feels a lot shorter then that.Jedamethis said:
And you're coming up on a year here as well. Bet that snuck up on ya.
I couldn't agree more, I tended to be the same a few years ago, though I do believe I stopped caring what people thought. =3Yureina said:I deliberately play a game of gender ambiguity on forums, largely because of past experiences where I have recieved "interesting" private messages during the days when I was a bit more specific. I'd rather not dig into that anymore than that, but it should probably be obvious what sorts of things I am talking about. In any case, most people tend to assume that I am female because of how I type and because of my consistent use of female avatars. I honestly do not care what people see me as, because that is not important to me.
I do this because I want people not to focus on gender when they see my posts or messages, but instead to focus upon what I am actually saying. I prefer when people stay interested in my crazy personality than on thoughts of real world possibilities, you know?
About 5 years ago, I used to hang around the RP/Troll subculture on Battle.net US-West when I wasn't gaming.
You would not believe half the whispers I got because of the way I worded things and acted towards others. >.<!
People don't really 'talk' like genders, so it can be very difficult to tell.
People have assumed that I'm a girl before, not sure why though, and I know that the way my girlfriend talks on forums sometimes gets her patched as a rather eccentric male. Particuarly when she starts making sexist references to the kitchen...
