Yeah, that's why I see everyone as just some guy. LOL. It really doesn't matter to me their gender or orientation... as long as they don't like anime. Just kidding on the last part. LOL.

I don't see how it is rude. Maybe we just don't want to be typing dude. bro him or his when it's a girl this whole time. Personally I would like to know after my little indent with Crazy Jetty lol

It can change peoples re-actions to the person. Asking if they are male or female, not really rude, I can see your point, but asking what their sexuality is.

LOL, I'm very careful when I address things to people that I don't know and this clearly translates into my posts online. I consider dude to be a generic term. I even refer to female friends and girlfriends as dudes. It's been used so loosely in the media, I've come to use it as a generic placeholder for anybody's name. So quite often, I would refer to people as dude online, especially when their gender is unknown. Or I word the sentence in such a way that it could refer to either. LOL. No harm, no foul. Or FOWL in the case of the Penguin. Whee whee whee...

Hey guys, I think we accidentally hijacked this poor newb's thread. LOL.

I get you on the sexuality part. But to be fair. I don't think anyone out right asked him/her what sexuality was.

I think it was only brought up to get an Idea on the Sex (m/f) not to bring up specifically any ones sexuality.

Hm maybe I read it wrong, I am multi tasking.

Carry on :P

I dont think it's necessarily rude. We all assume everyone here is male but when there is a picture of a guy with his shirt off, I think im not the only one wondering if this person with this screen name is a male or female.

LOL controversy Yay I'm popular..I think well to put to rest the theory of a gay guy .I will tell you Fortune was right I have had bad experiences elsewhere and didn't want a repeat I am indeed a female.

vampireheart · 10-06-2011, 03:30 PM

I think i can speak for most on this forum and say that we re all mature here...you know aside from the whole toy collecting thing lol but seriously ive been to other forums and couldnt be more proud to call myself a member of this one the bickering is kept to a minimum and id say this is one of the last few places with a ton of honest people worthy of trading with.

I agree, bickering is kept to a minimum, that is, if vampireheart weren't such a smelly JERKHEAD!!! LOL, just kidding, man.

YES! I was right. Party at my place.

It doesnt really matter, but I think most of us would like some sense of who we are talking with. I don't want to assume I'm talking to a guy when it's actually a girl, or think I'm dealing with a kid and turns out to be an older man.

She said she was a girl.

trebleshot · 10-07-2011, 06:10 AM

I completely understand why female geeks/gamers/collectors would want to hide their gender. Fanboys can be overly aggressive and I'm guessing they'd like to avoid the hassle.

Sometimes it's easier to pretend and be treated as an equal than reveal the truth and get harassed by over-sexed morons.

Personally, I don't care what your gender is. If you collect toys and want to chat about it, then glad to have you.

And here's a tip for everyone. I understand wanting to use the correct pronouns when typing or speaking to people. But If you must know what the genders of Toyark members are, you can always send them a PM. Much more appropriate than discussing it in the Arker's own introduction thread. Whether they answer you or not is their business.
