I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
There are times where I'll read a post and I'll subconsciously give it the "voice" of a woman, and then afterward I'll notice other posters seem to address the op on the presumption that they are male and I'm left wondering what it was that made me intuit the op was female.

Is it like this for anyone else? Are you able to perceive everyone as neutral until proven otherwise? Do you tend to default to male since historically that's been a safe assumption? Have you been able to fine-tune a sense of the gender status of your fellow goons?

goons are just asexual middle-aged weirdos posting in an echo chamber on a dying comedy website OP

gender has nothing to do with any of this tragedy

Men tend to bold their font when emphasizing words and use strong punctuation like exclamation marks and full stops. Woman tend to use softer italicized highlights and gentler punctuation like question marks or commas.

Don't you dare loving gender me you fucks. I am all and no gender. That makes me better than the rest of you. Gender is for the weak, I am superior. gently caress you, gently caress your gender.

But I hope y'all nerds are doing well and your identities are respected.

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
I think it took about 3 years of nonstop posting about sex for goons to definitely accept that I'm a woman

And I bet there are some that still wonder

Oh yeah and the ones that did like a 3rd of them thought I was an alt of Picks
oh my God did that piss her off, it could have been insulting but I thought it was really funny how much it pissed her off.

It was SO STUPID we posted nothing alike.

I actually got probed for ban evasion as an alt of Picks when a mod listened to goons who assumed I was her. That mod did not last.

Honest answer, I'm guilty of this and I'm wrong a lot. Shitposts are always masculine in my head. Any time someone changes their name or avatar they're a dude again in my head until I figure out otherwise.

I'm a regular enough lady irl and my similarly aged co-workers are all dudes who know about SA, newgrounds, 4chan and early internet shenanigans, so I kinda still feel like I'm right most of the time.

Then again sometimes they'll start talking amongst each other and try to keep it quiet, and I'll chime in and be like 'oh I know about when that happened on this site in 2006 and I could send you a link right now!!' and they'll be all like 'dang settle down bitch we know there's girls on the internet'.

It's always something like goatse or pain Olympics and they don't think I know about it because it's gross or inappropriate.

So I'm probably just annoying.

yeah you can tell because men and women tend to type differently, using different words and different tones

it helps if you're overly fixated on thinking about gender though. and it isn't like a woman can't type in a male voice and vice versa

men especially just tend to assume nearly everyone is a guy unless you name yourself a girly rear end name or something tho

When I feel like a man I just post.

When I feel like a woman I aggressively spellcheck everything just to make sure.
