Why do you choose to have an avatar the same sex as you are? The answer to that may explain some people choose the opposite, Then again, some may just like the look of that avatar better. In other words, what the heck difference does it make? ---

I don’t have a face. It got melted off the last time I heard Tacet greeting me with “HELLOOOOOOOOOO, EVERYONE!” But I do think this is a rather nice topic, and will be following to see the faces of my many friends in the community. > [@RiverSong](#): > > In other words, what the heck difference does it make? Also, this ^ It doesn’t really matter. But things like this can still be amusing ---

I use an opposite gender avatar because before 2.1.5, I didn’t like how the male avatars looked, and now I don’t like the male customization options as much as the female ones. Scars/tattoos/warpaint \> beards for me. ---
