    Robots, obviously.

    Or Cetagandan ba.

    I wonder how many people here will get that reference.

    Now I want to drop everything and start making fan art. For instance, Genesis might just be the perfect tool for modeling Miles and Taura. That would be a striking image ...

    Three of us, for sure :)

    I believe that would be a reference to the universe of my favorite Lois McMaster Bujold character, unless there are other Cetagandans out there.

    Anyone here remember the good old days of MSN and Yahoo chat rooms?

    I once caught my husband in the lesbian rooms pretending to be a girl, I nearly wet myself laughing because my friend had only just told me that morning that her husband while at sea went into the lesbian rooms pretending to be a girl.

    I used to wonder if they had ever met and had “fun”.

    However I am a girl. Honestly really, cross my heart and all that stuff. But unlike what many in the chat rooms used to believe if I am sitting here in night wear it’s a huge fluffy fleece dressing gown and slippers, not a sheer black negligee and thong with stockings and four inch stilettos LMAO.

    I usually use my regular name, but for some reason years ago when I first joined, I used the name of my male dog, batesyboy. I can' t remember why. When I rejoined, I couldn't figure out how to change it. Yes, I am female, but get tired of receiving letters addressed tp Paul.

    Paula Sanders

    What the heck, I'm still getting mail addressed to someone who's been dead for better than 50 years. In fact, the only mail I get from The Village in my name is the tax bill. Everything else still comes under my grandfather's. Guess no one bothered to tell them that, yes, women can and do own property these days.

    LOL. I wouldn't bet on any "lesbian" chat room having many female participants unless it was on an aggressively LGBT site.


    I wear sweat pants to work every day, jeans on the weekend, and skirts once in a blue moon, usually to church. I love it. I am convinced that all of that stuff about wearing business casual making you more productive is bull. I was completely unproductive when I wore it every day. Now I get more done than I ever did when I was in Cubeville.

    Business casual is a godsend if you've ever had to work in business-noncasual clothes, however. I had a three month gig 20 years ago where I had to wear a suit and high heels every freaking day....blech. Glad I didnt end up in that sort of office. Sweatpants would be nice tho...

    Heels are painful enough to wear on special occasions, but every day? Guh. My total sympathy.

    When I started surfing the internet ... the one piece of advice that has lasted through the years is to be VERY cautious, esp in chat rooms, if the "person" you're talking to is using very short sentences ... usually just one or two words.

    Chances are very good apparently that the "person" one might be talking to is in fact a trained Chimpanzee. For real.

    Well, as my avatar and user name would imply, I am definately female. A slighty Neil Gaiman/Sandman obsessed fan-girl. What am I wearing? I'm weariing what I wore to my call center job today. Jeans and a Pokemon sweatshirt.

    I can also attest that InaneGlory, who frequently gets referred to as s/he, probably because of the "glory" part of the name, is most definately male. I know this because I have been married to him for 15 years and he is the father of my child.

    I know, that keeps smacking me in the face... like when I called Chohole "he"... it's SOOO annoying!

    Guilty as charged; till you said that I thought InaneGlory was a chick and Chohole was a dude (till someone used her rl name some time back :bug: ) :red:

    I think it only matters to guys

    lets face it, if they find out you're a girl it's like they've won a trophy and they think they're in with a chance of a quick perv

    Yeah, well maybe I'm old fashioned, but usually when I see a female avatar here at DAZ, I assume user is female. I've been proved wrong, though.

    You should try playing MMO's with a female toon, I've lost count how many times some slimy turd has tried to chat them up, and when you drop the bombshell that your a guy, they either don't believe you, think your some kind of weirdo, or go all homo-phobic on you.

    I used to be perceived as an uber-male. But after reaching the age of ancient I'm now just mean and a little squirrelly.

    I need a Grumpy Old Man fanclub.

    Well, I sympathize. No one believes I'm a spider, either. And if they do, they still assume I'm a male one. Maybe I need to get an avatar with a closeup of a p. audax face wearing a tiny bow on top.

    Actually I'm a shapeshifting alien arachnid. I can be either one of those, and occasionally a mygalomorph as well.

    Yes? I've been a woman on the internet since usenet days, and so have most of my women friends. If you hang out in internet sexxxxy chat rooms it might be a bunch of dudes pretending to be women, I guess. But even in there they're probably cops or gangsters trying to swindle you :)

    So what are you when you're not on the internet?:)

    Yeah, and for some reason few people think I'm a fox. :(

    Btw, for the p. audax, you could render it with this model or maybe a scaled down giant fantasy spider. With a cute bow. ;)

    On topic, however, I generally try to use gender neutral words and avoid phrasings that require a gender referent. That's a habit I picked up decades ago on Usenet. Of course I also cultivated a gender-neutral writing style, trying to avoid seeming particularly feminine or masculine in my wordings and phrase choices. But that was back in the day when there was no visual indication of who/what you were talking to.

    To that note I'm not sure avatars are a good thing, at least not avatars of people. In more social contexts (facebook, g+, etc.) where there's a real-world component, I understand them. However, when the focus is on an exchange of ideas, it's oddly almost detrimental to have actual-person avatars, since we as humans instinctively assign attributes to faces, and then see their written words in the context of those attributes.

    It's an easy thought-experiment to come up with a phrase that could be read two different ways, one inflammatory, one neutral (or even useful) and post it up as two different avatars, carefully picked to suggest a tendency to write one or the other way.

    Well, the monstrous spider at least has spiderlike anatomy, I give it that. I appreciate the amount of work that went into the fantasy spider, but I hate the thing's mesh. It's an arachnophobe's concept of a horror monster rather than the arachnids that I love. One day when my rigging skills are up to par I'll make a realistic jumping spider and a realistic thomisid. That's one of those great big "why I got into 3d in the first place" goals that I just haven't achieved yet.

    While a bow is a good idea, don't forget to add long lashes too - bows and long lashes on anything are a certain indicator that it's female, see any cartoon for evidence.

    Ah yes, let us not neglect the importance of tertiary sexual characteristics. (Thank you, TVTropes.)
