So much for there are no girls on the internet... >.>

I feel like my username's gotta be the most feminine here! (Which makes sense, since it was sort of chosen because of that.) I tend to subconsciously assume everyone online is of my height, hair-colour, weight, sexuality, sex, gender, appearance in general... until I discover they're not.

So, in my head you're all me-clones.  :D

I'm female.

I think your name is gender neutral... I wasn't sure which you were!

Haha, same! :)) When I picture them in my head, everyone is white, brown-haired, moderate weight, and straight, until indicated otherwise.

Gender varies though, some people feel more like a girl and some more like a boy (in my head. I'm often wrong). Height varies too, I image some people as tall and some as short for some reason (and no, this is not just based on gender).

Now that you mention it, I think I might sometimes ascribe people a height... and sometimes a gender. Though of the about five people I gave a gender here, four were wrong and I don't know about the fifth. Not the best record! Heh.

I don't picture other people at all, I just identify them as male/female/nonbinary/noidea, depending on how they write (it's easier with people who write stories, but I sometimes make mistakes. Like I was really sure that tardar is a dude).

I don't really feel the need to know how people look like, but I have a tendency to hoard other sort of data about them; likes and dislikes, fandoms, otps, that sort of things.

^ I don't actively picture them either, but your mind will still create some kind of idea. Then, when you see a picture of them later, you can be like "Huh, that's not what I expected."

I kind of figured that there would be many girls that like Blue Exorcist because whenever I saw discussions about it. The majority of fans were having discussions about who the cutest male character was , needless to say I was kind of suprised ! c-c

Im male by the way , I hope it is obvious ! It´s cool having a lot of female fans too , since Ao no Exorcist is one of the three shonen mangas im following :D

Hey! There are plenty of boys who ask who the cutest boy in the series is!

...It's Rin, have you seen his new stage actor?!

It's not obvious, but that's probably because most people here are so androgynous that you can't really tell anyway.

Wow, we already have five males! Ten more and we can take them off the endagered species list. ;D

W-Wait! Earthforge is a FEMALE?! Why am I noticing this topic only now? lol

(do you mind if when I'm checking the forum and come across something from you (earthforge) I think to myself "Oh, here's something from Earthy *cough cough* I just think it to myself, I'm typing it for the first time)

But, anyway, I dunno why but I never could guess your gender. I mainly assumed you were a boy. The thing is, I know a boy who has a blog with a lot of posts the type you reblog on tumblr (not the same posts, just the type) and so I kinda associated you to a boy.

Anyway, I'm a girl (actually a woman, but screw it, I feel like I still am 16 yrs old)

I think I voted but never commented on this.
I am a woman.
I do tend to assume most people ascribe to what I or my friends look like, namely being female. I think it also is interesting that we have so many women in STEM on this forum that maybe many of our writing styles are confused for men. I think I bullshit too much and am a loud fujoshi fan for people to not know by now. I was about to mention that I didn't imagine there being a lot of male fans of Toudou but then I remembered the other biggest Toudou bullshitter other than me is a man (I think?). Too bad he deleted all his stuff.
Saying Toudou's name summons me
