    It's certainly an interesting kitty, but whether I'd call it pretty... well we all have opinions. |D

    You know, I have no right to speak about the changing of a signature. I've gone through about three different ones this year, and that's about to be four. >.>" I'm just... a signature *****. b:shutup

    I just love photoshop so much b:sad and I stumble on so many pictures that would make great sigs that it feels like a waste, haha. And it is pretty! D:<

    Ooh, new sig? Color me curious.

    Photoshop is the devil. Because temptation in the devil and there is far, far too much temptation with Photoshop. [Although, lately, PS has been a blessing, because my mother is having me build her a website. Graphic design FTW...] So I know the feeling. xD And okay, okay, it's a pretty kitty. Please don't set it on me, kitties have claws. =< I still have a scar from when the last cat I thought was pretty decided it didn't like me.

    Chyeah. Got tired of the rectangle design. It's just so... rectangular? Anyway, I decided to take the design I had used in Ary's sig contest, because I was kind of prone to it myself. Hue edits FTW!

    He is the pronoun used when referring to something with an unspecified gender. This seems to change when it comes to vehicles however, because in these cases, they seem to be a "she" more often than not. Maybe it's because guys like their cars like they like their women...?

    and guns

    guns are referred to by the female pronoun as well

    I lol'd.

    Maybe it's because guys like their cars like they like their guns like they like their women? I honestly don't know, but for the male populace it generally seems to be that if it's something they really like... it's a female.

    We have more power over the men then they think we do. b:chuckle

    Everywhere I go, people are calling bosses he or him. What makes that boss male? Does the boss show male sex characteristics? no. So call the boss an it. And I see it here on the forums, when someone has a faceless avatar, people automatically assume the person is male and call them he or him. Guess what, not everyone is male! Females do exist! Take that into consideration and when you talk about someone who's gender is unspecified, say he or she, or them.


    I'm surprised you give that much of a damn about something so trivial...

    Also He is going to be directed to anything manly and Airyll is totaly right.
    and your not male yet .. you would rather that thing up there be called a female? i don't think you would want to relate to any mob/boss here other then a mermiad or somthing that visably has **** <.< or femish face.

    About the bosses I'm not sure why you are angry at all. Most of the bosses look very masculine (no visible ****)

    If a boss looked feminine most people would have no problem saying the gender of the boss. Though it doesn't really matter since they are pixels after all...

    But there are female looking bosses, for example our beloved Harpy Wraith ... is a SHE ... and we call her "****" and don't remember me calling that to any male boss ...

    Now lets picture, Garganta Kong, humm interesting for a female, but yea it could be ... poor female gender, maybe another male kong found her atractive ...

    I can't think of any truly obviously 'it' bosses.

    But some (zimo, suzerix, harpy) are clearly 'she', and I addres them as such.
