Narcosis Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Only trolls hide their genre. You should know why Funny enough I often do associate users with their avatars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakashimA Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Why hide? Let me see: Because I like feeling anonymous with this. Because hiding your genre is by default on profile. Because is harder to do this in real life. Because just because. Like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monmon Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Tbh i really dont care if u r male or female, It wont change me what i see u. Ofc if u r female maybe i will less hentai but i will still be hentai but with some lining ofc. I got irl male n female friends and i enjoy both of them so dont know why sometime male pretend to be female and vice versa. And fyi i`m not 男の子 but 男の娘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getsuya Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I hid my gender for a while because (looks at avatar and sig) I was kind of going for a 'adorable little sister' vibe for a bit and I thought it'd come across as creepy if everyone knew a guy who is almost in his 30s was acting like this. Then I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenshin_sama Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Not gonna lie, it use to bug the heck out of me whenever I referred to someone as a he when she turned out to be female, but I learned to deal with it since I'd feel worse asking for personal information. No need to provide your gender if you don't wanna. Plus, people can get really creepy sometimes. I remember one sorry individual who got kicked from my guild in WoW for hitting on one of our female members, so I understand the incentive to keep that information private (it can happen to males too). I like to think of online communities as an environment for others to make friends, share pertinent information, and partake meaningful discussions or debates. The only time gender should of relevant concern is if you're on some kind of dating site. Just keep it simple and talk like you normally would; no need to complicate things.

sanahtlig Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (Funny enough I often do associate users with their avatars) That's a really bad idea on VN boards because people tend to choose a favorite character as their avatar. For guys, that's usually a girl. For girls, that's often a guy. Assigning gender identities like this might actually lead to a false gender assignment greater than 50%--in other words, worse than if you randomly flipped a coin for each user.

Clephas Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 For me, when I used to do it, it was just a function of not wanting people to know who I was. I disliked people knowing things about me that I hadn't intentionally revealed, and it came out in that fashion in my internet interactions.

Dark Ariel7 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Tch. I came here for a discussion and genres not on what people do or do not have hanging between their legs. I am disappointed. But like nosebleed I actually assume completely based on Avatar. I have actually never checked gender here. I mean, it might say male but that does not mean that that member is in fact a dude. Could just be lying. I don't trust the sheet. Nosebleed will forever in my heart be Shinobu. Accept no substitutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I don't really think it should matter wether or not they are male, female, trans, an alien or a animal whilst online on a anon forum like this unless you are going to meet up, even in situations as you stated where they offer a kiss as a reward, it's not like you're actually gonna get kissed. Edit: What I mean is that they should be allowed to hide their identiy if they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohka Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I actually get really confused about people's genders here I thought Nosebleed was a girl..... I am a girl and mostly girls hide their gender because.... If u talk about a R-18 game in the public here then the people's stare pierces really very bad....

arakura Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So that people have to ask me to know. I mean, they can guess all they want, but whatever. Have fun with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
