how often (if ever) do you confuse bishounen (sexy guys) as girls? ive been browsing around the scans here lately, and i cant believe some of the male scans are really male. maybe its just me, but it kind of freaks me out.

<lol> I usually don't have a problem with it. ^-^ Maybe it's because I usually browse series I'm familiar with, or either that or I'm too stupid to notice I've not noticed...
Haa. Also, another reason might be because I sometimes get mistaken for a guy myself... <lol> I've no idea. XD
But you can usually tell by the eyebrows, chest/waist ratio and stance, I think. =P
Usually. x_x;;

I haven't realized it yet - blessed with ignorance. I agree they are very similar though. Have you seen Princess Fantaghiro? It's a really-played movie (fairy-tale plot), probably from Germany. And my point is that Fantaghiro pretends to be a prince, wearing a sword and such. And the male hero of the show falls in love with "him" and starts to have suicidal thoughts about the fact that he might be homosexual. Finally they get to a good relationship - it's a fairy-tale after all.

i make sure they're bishounen first, before i start avoiding them

good answer!
but you should have answered like if you were in random wallpapers!!

well I guess that depends on the person that has drawned them!!
I don't mistake often but I've seen ppl mistaken that so...

It's like me here in the forum: I don't know if a user in guy or a girl unless I go to that users userpage cause by nick or avatar I'm usually mistaken!!!

ahah i know what you mean, some of those guys, are just way to girly that it scares me. get backers for example....

I have no quarrel with male models, elves, or bishounen.

It's yaoi I despise. *supresses shudder*

Maybe the artist was too used to one style of drawing...

not sure....don't think so

Hmmm, so far I have been vitimized about two times, with Andromeda (Saint Seiya) and Kazuki (Getbackers). DAmn those beautiful men!!!!! :sweat:

If I see an image that is gender confusing, I ditch it, I really would hate to find out I've been staring at a guy the whole time.

I don't get mixed up in anime...but in pictures it's alot harder.

I guess the Japanese have a thing for androgenous folks.

I thought the main character (dont know his name) from Gravatation was a girl even while wathing him and hearing his voice.

They actually have a "thing" for every conceivable abnormality.
