Is it bad...

Halo! You should be ashamed of yourself!

I did absolutely nothing to intentionally spread this; it sprang up because I head JLaw as my set for so long. Teehee. :3

Also hey, I'm in your signature. Excellent choice, mon ami. ;D

You know that reminds me of this one site where you could input a sample of your writing (like a paragraph or two) and it would use text analysis algorithms to try to determine if you were a girl based on how you typed. Found that interesting, wonder if I could find it again.

If you do, send it to me? I've always been rather curious about this, as a few people have mistaken me for a woman even when I've had "neutral" or even stereotypically masculine sets.

EDIT: Just found one online. Seems that for "informal" speech, like in normal conversation, I come across very gender-neutral - either weakly male or weakly female. My "formal" writing, for which I submitted RP posts as it uses short stories as an example, comes up as slightly more strongly male, though. Interesting.

It totally still counts if you have a female set, don't you know men aren't allowed to have them. Men identifying with aspects of female characters? Ewww

Never mind that, that's just me metaphorically and abstractedly human centipeding you.

To be fair, most people who have sets with identifiable male or female characters in them tend to stick to their own gender, simply because they know the assumption will be made - which, in the long run, makes those assumptions more likely to be right, and, weeelllll, it's a vicious cycle.

I can't tell if I should be offended or if you're being facetious/I'm missing the point. x)

idk if this is the original one, but here I found one for everyone to use. Grab a writing sample of yours from somewhere, and give it a go:

You should see subSPUF.

That place is filled with men with girly sets.

A recent paragraph from the mod forum. I figured it would be a good chunk of casual text to see which side I leaned towards.

Sounds like fun to me baby <3 Just don't let Bea know, wouldn't want her being jealous.
Okay, joking aside, where the fuck have you been Mickeyboy?

Not through design, I assure you. I just like Jennifer Lawrence and her character in Silver Linings, hence the set. I just find the coincidental results highly amusing.

From a massive message I sent to Dervish (so, informal conversation, the same context as keeps convincing people I'm female):
1. female (73.3 %)
2. male (26.7 %)

Holy shit.
