    Because Kirby's a male character. From that most people would assume that someone using that username would be male.

    Not that it matters, but here's proof for the doubters.

    While Nintendo legend Mr. Miyamoto wanted Kirby to be yellow, Sakurai insisted that he be pink.

    If someone can disprove the above, I'd like to see it as I just quickly googled for info and haven't done an extensive check.

    I'm pretty sure Kirby is completely genderless, unless he, like, keeps it in a jar by the door. Or something.

    On a related topic and it refers to the mod that started this thread:

    A games researcher is seeking women who play games to fill out her survey. Here’s one question from the survey that we’d love to see answered: “Do you feel more women are needed in the gamer-community? Of what benefit would they be for the community?” Most of the corporate rhetoric about getting women involved in games focuses on making money off of them. Finally, perhaps, we might see some answers to this question that don’t involve dollar signs.

    And one more question, chosen (nearly) at random from the survey: “Computergaming could be THE perfect leisure activity for FEMALES if… (please finish the sentence).” Might we suggest a certain Xbox mod? (We might, but we’d get slapped, so we won’t.)
