All I know is I automatically assume everyone is male, unless they have a photograph of a woman in their avatar.

Having said that, I imagine people looking like their avatars. So, for example, I imagine RolStoppable looking like Kim Possible but being male. Is that weird?

... so is it weird if I see you as some weird alien?

@Esmoreit- I dunno... lipstick lesbians are rare IMHO... the ones I usually encounter are angsty teen girls that look funny, or some feminist lady in a city.

A robot, actually.

I assume that everyone is male on the Internet unless the opposite is suggested, with MORE than avatar pictures.

With what then? Real pictures? I don't really see the point. I mean, great you can prove you're not a guy by posting your picture (knowing that hundreds of nerds will probably oggle it) and for what... girl credit?

I think it's just better to assume everyone on an internet forum is a guy.

I wasn't talking about proof, but about suggestion.

For example, if I see female first names for usernames, or everyone else is referring to her as "she", or simply she claims to be a girl, or something like that.

I thought it's common knowledge that,

Men are men.
Women are men.
Children are FBI?

I'm a guy, and I have this girl as my avatar because I'm a fan of hers.

Before you complain, spare a thought for pbroy. There isn't a member on the site who hasn't thought he was female at some point.

I always thought he was a boy. Just take a quick look over his gifs and all doubt will be relieved

In MMORPGs it's great to have a female character because other players will always invite you into good groups and give you lots of stuff for free lol.
