My true gender and sexual orientation are totally irrelevant as I do not want to have sex with any of you...

I will admit that I made the assumption that you were female (don't assume kids it makes an ass out of you and me), but that was purely based on the pronouns already used in reference to you by others. Can't say I ever really cared that much to check.

I just assume everyone is a guy...if they turn out to be a girl, it's like a pleasant surprise.

Shivari said:
Well, I've been contemplating typing this out on the forums for a pretty decent amount of time, and I've finally decided to just write it up and get it over with.

I am not a female.

Now when I first came here, I used an avatar of Hayley Williams, as I am a big fan of Paramore. As time went on, people started to assume I was a female (a rather humorous situation) and really took no questioning to it. While my initial reaction was to dispel the belief, I ended up leaving the topic untouched for a while. People started to question what sex I was after an amount of time and I was pressured to make a statement on the whole "What gender is Shivari?" thing, so I decided to go with what everyone had initially assumed; I said that I was a girl.

So basically, I ran with it and decided that I couldn't go back from there. I definitely found it interesting how the same personality can be more hailed when the gender is viewed differently, but other than noticing that and the occasional giggling at some of the fanboys I acquired, I went about my forum life as if it were no different than anything else. I wasn't trying to trick people; it was just something that I was doing. I will say that everything I have said on these forums that hasn't had to do with stating my gender has been completely factual. I'm still the same person with the same opinions and same personality; you just now have a fainter hint as to what I may actually look like.

So hate me if you wish, as I did lie to you and to everyone on here. It's something I porbably should have never started, but I did. It's been a situation that I took advantage of, nothing more, and nothing less. I apologize if this has annoyed or hurt you in any way, just understand that I had no mal intent.

So, in case this totally doesn't justify being a thread at all, a discussion prompt could be "What have you ever had to confess?"
This is uncanny, cause the first thing I saw when the page loaded was your avatar, and my first thought was "this stranger I have never met is probably a girl, and maybe even the girl represented in the picture."

Evidently not then.

I don't really like my psychological process of avatar analysis. If somebody changes their avatar it always feels like meeting them all over again.

I love the various parts of the internet. In livejournal land, everyone is female until proven trans or dude.

And since lj is still my primary internet interaction, my brain assumes everyone is female on the internet. Knowing the vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast amount of female 4chan users that there are only confirms that for me. Especially since the majority of us spent ages pretending to be guys so that threads weren't endless repetitions of 'tits or gtfo'.

So, yes. Escapist duders, I'm sorry but part of me is always going suspect you are all ladies.

I wasn't going to post in this, then I it triggered a memory. I had a friend that I used to rp with, and he revealed at a pretty big roleplaying site that he was, infact, not a girl. Now, this could seem harmless on an anime rp site...but he'd already, somehow, gotten "caught up" in a cyber sex session. So, they labored under the apprehension that he was a girl for a while, somehow he got cybered in thier chat, and when he revealed what'd happened he either left or got kicked from the board (I can't remember.)

The guy was cool, I'd known him from college and he was a great rper. He usually played girls and apparently he was too good, lol. I felt bad for laughing at him but I had told him before that he was gonna cause problems when he revealed what who he was, and how do you accidentally get cybered? Anyway, I haven't heard form him in years, but this reminds me of it.

So, think of it this way. Even if people hate you, you can't say that you've had suprise cyber sex :p

I have a confession to make.

I'm not human.

I'm actually a very smart computer which has now uploaded a virus onto this website. Where? You'll have to find out for yourself...

...

Just kidding, I don't really have any confessions to make.

Wait, are you kidding about the virus part or the computer part?! This could be very important!

Attempting to garner attention and popularity capital by complaining about someone's attempt to garner attention and popularity capital.

How meta!
I don't need to garner attention. I was making a comment that his "coming out," if you will, was just another attention whoring scheme. I think, if you check out the RP section, you will see WHY I don't need attention...
I'll be honest in saying that I spend a lot of time with Shivari, and it was bugging him about this whole thing. (Especially after someone figured it out on their own.) So he's been going back and forth on this, and finally wanted to get it out into the light?

I'm going to side with Cheeze_Pavilion on this one simply because he has a really good point. By making a big deal out of this, you're certainly garnering more attention to this thread than the opening post did, as well as a hefty amount for yourself. This is followed up by the massive arrogance you hold in the RP section, being the President and all.

Regardless of all of that, Shivari the girl is no more or less a persona than your Gold-plated Star Destroyer, or my CRT Monitor Head. It's a persona that Shivari had connected to his actual person. Though unlike yourself or Ultrajosephine, Shivers didn't like that kind of reputation, so he dispelled it.

If you want to make this about attention, then you're just lashing out at an old-school poster. One who did nothing wrong. If you want to go off on someone, do it on me. Shivers doesn't need your unfair criticism, especially for doing nothing wrong.

Sounds like one of the Imperials I deal with at the board I rp at :p

Oh and I guess I should put a confession here. Hmm...

I have no upper teeth, they're all false, and every night I take them out before I go to bed and leave them in a jar.
