QUOTE (Siegefox28 @ Aug 10 2006, 12:10 AM)Ahahahahahahaha~~~!!! Seriously. Why'd Anime-Addict have a girl avi display pic?
When I started using forums I thought the same thing, that people with female avatars must be girls... then I realised the truth ;_; The way I see it, for most people their pics are not avatars (ie. manifestations) but mascots, like people often keep on their desks (I don't do that kind of thing so maybe that's why I didn't understand).
Nowadays though I prefer to think of it as due to gender confusion as that restores some of the original fun...
Of course some of people with female avatars really are female... but it can be really hard to tell ... in one forum someone had a photo as an avatar and it looked like a typical webcam selfportrait so I thought for sure it was them, that they were a girl.. but it turned out everyone on that forum used avatars in an ironical way... which is cool too. If you think about it, even after all the pictures posted here, you still don't really know who is a girl and who is a guy, because they could have got those photos from anywhere....
