Considering how Nikon is, he'd probably delete that thread, so I'll just post this part here:

 "I'm just going to say, while I can understand your points on it being insulting, sometimes it's much easier to just accept something for what it is no matter how 'insulting' it might be, and just run with it especially if the intent was never insulting in the first place. It's kind of like how I can get comments about how 'inappropriate' my last name can be (just a huge clue, it's a Chinese last name, and it has a certain meaning in English, I wont' reveal it due to me wanting to be as annonymous as possible). However I understand the intent, and I don't really mind. It'd be different if they meant it as an insult, but I wouldn't mind if it's not.

Then there's the fact that you probably are looking at it the wrong way. I'll say you're looking at it as a glass half empty type of way, while most people would just look at it in a glass half full kind of way. It's not the fact that the G.I.R.L (I know this is used for online Avatars but I can't think of any other word to use in this situation) is doing so to trick others, though a real G.I.R.L would probably be trying to trick people but that's another story, it's the fact that the person who thought the other was a girl fell into a trap of thinking the other was a girl. I'd be freaking out too if in real life this happened to me, and thus I'd feel like I fell into a trap of thinking the person I was hitting on was a girl when the person was actually a guy. Lord knows how many times I've probably done that in an MMORPG, I'd hate to deal with that in real life.

I'm just saying, your points do make sense, but to counteract, you probably are looking at this in the worst direction possible."
