True! This used to get my old GF angry all the time when someone assumed she was a dude xD

Wait, they're just going out by themselves, why is he crossdressing?

Every good DPS/mage needs a good tank to interrupt pickup lines attacks and draw aggro! 😄

@trapsarebetter

Unsurprisingly, since the average female is actually more perverted than the average male, and they usually don't hold back as much online as they try to hide that irl.
Also, if you've been present while a bunch of females are conversing, and there're no males around that they care to try keep the truth from, you'd know just how extreme their talks tend to get.

As for me personally, while I don't really mind perverted subjects all that much I also don't find them all that entertaining either, and prefer to avoid getting directly involved.
That, along with some basic manners and such, are things that alot of people assume is typical for females and so I've been assumed to be one often enough despite not trying.
Actually, there have been a few times (really just a few) where people assumed I'd be female despite me clearly stating my gender online,
part why that friend told her she should ask me to teach her how to act "feminine".
Funny part is that the avg female is worse than the avg male on those points when unrestrained on the net and so they're often assumed to be male, many of them don't mind that either.



Part why I read manga for that matter (and quite a few too) is because they grant some insight into their authors minds, something I won't get tired of anytime soon.
(Also read books and other kinds of media too for the same reason, not overly limited by genres.)

Interesting nickname btw, didn't actually think about it earlier. ☺¿♂♀?☺♪♫
(Personally like the mix with that profile pic.)


Have an enjoyable day!

@rarstyak
But the eye colors make it confusing since Kaoru has golden eyes while Nanami has reddish eyes. The girl there has brown hair AND golden eyes. That's confusing, lol.

@elfalas

I'm quite certain that most females will still be assumed to be male on the internet; one has to really produce quite excessive femininization to not be assumed male on the internet.

If a transcription be made of the average female dialog or conversation and the text be put on the internet, most will assume that it were said by a male.

@trapsarebetter

Apparently she got upset over the fact that mutual friend of ours told her she should ask me to teach her how to act more feminine,
so she went ahead and decided to compete (or prove she can be more feminine or something), which was why she told me to not mention my gender.
She got rather sulky after she failed miserably though, since randoms didn't just assume that I'd be female, they assumed she'd be male too.
(Key part to that is probably because she's pretty perverted if you ask me, and the usual prejudice about perverts being males.)

Looking back, I find it hilarious tbh.

Who took the biggest L this chapter?
Nanami, Kaoru, or Mob?

When your crossdressed husbando get hit on more harder than you being a girl....................

@Elite4Harmon
No, Nanami is wearing that in the first chapter, the cover just shows her hair as brownish-black instead very black.

Big brain: go out with your gamer girl

Galaxy brain: cross dress cuter than her to encourage her to be even cuter

@Majora

Finally, a man of culture amongst these plebians.

@Psychronia

It's actually a fairly rare occurrence compared to many other places, just featured as a common trope in fiction. Japanese fiction seems to portray Japanese persons as extremely sexually forward; the actual reality is far from the truth which is why Japanese has a problem of population decline and high rates of voluntary singledom. The Japanese at large are simply not interested that much in relationships, and præfer to game instead.

@elfalas

SO ehh... why exactly would one demand of another to not reveal that his male; and then on top of it get upset that others because of that assume that he is in fact not male?

If hes the tank main, then how is she going to heal him?

Reminds me of a female gamer I know irl, she always got upset that when we played together online everyone else always assumed she was male and me female..
(Might add she's the one that asked me to not reveal I'm male, after the second time found out it's because another mutual friend told her to ask me about how to act feminine.)

Personally don't care about gender, neither my own nor others.
There's no denying there are certain trends based on gender when it comes to behavior, but there are more than enough deviating that you can't call it more than trends.
(Then there's a truckload of differences based on how people got raised, culture matters alot here and not necessarily in a good way.)

@JA10111 She probably kept trying to shoo him off for a while, but he was persistent, and it was stated she isn't that good at handling other people, especially guys, so she didn't know what to do.

Man. Japan sure has a skirtchaser problem.

@SveNo Yeah, I came into this expecting the sweetness of some sort of twitter-type one page manga. Instead, I just got cuteness that went longer and was in color so...

Mob guy to Kaoru: Brown hair really looks good on you.

(Scrolls down and sees the cover girl)
Me: Brown hair! So that isn't Nanami but Kaoru!? But.....What sorcery is this?

Why did they have to make her act all meek. What happened to the Nanami from chapter 1

@milleniumbug
Sexual dimorphism is less pronounced among the Japanese and East Asians in general. That's why you don't see much difference between males and females in terms of body build compared to, say, European males and females. Also East Asians tend to exhibit neoteny and has a higher degree of preserving youthful facial features well into adulthood.

no talk she angy
