    Default Your Online Gender

    Are you often mistaken for being another gender than your own online?

    I get it all the time. Playing chicks in games doesn't help either.

    One time I made a second account at EoFF called Iri Valentine and posted photos of myself dressed up as a girl. I got a lot of positive comments let me tell you.

    Don't be a drag, just be a queen. My motto, so yes.

    Dunno. I don't imagine people think I'm male. But then, I could be completely wrong.

    Doesn't happen to me, really. Having the real name Daniel and the online name BoB kind of gives away my gender pretty easily.

    Yes, most newbies here assume by default that I am male, and some returning old-timers do as well. Happens a lot in MMOs as well because I prefer to play male characters.

    I don't mind!

    I actually always assumed you were a girl by default, not really sure why.

    And yeah, normally when you get as creepy as me, people default to assume male. Apperently woman online aren't creepers or something.

    Yeah, I knew Pike was a girl too! When I joined she had a Twilight Sparkle set. I know that doesn't mean anything, but if you have MLP anything, I assume you are a woman.

    Also, in response to OP:

    Look at my username. People think I'm a dude aaaaall the time.

    Pretty sure that was the only time anyone had been confused about my online gender. I'm normally pretty male, or at least should be considered "male until proven female" like most of the internet.

    I don't get mistaken for a girl, considering the username I use doesn't exactly shouts "Hey, I must be female!" Once, I used a Hatsune Miku avatar, and someone mistook me as being female! He even referred to me as "the lovely Miss Proto."

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I get it sometimes since not everyone realizes I took the name Vivi from FFIX, or that Vivi was a dude. Doesn't happen that often, but I find it humorous when it does.
