History ViewerGenderConfusion / WebComics

** The AuthorAvatar can be rather... ''confusing'' at first. Skinny and flat, wears a [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics baseball cap]], and, when representing characters with PurelyAestheticGender, is usually drawn in the male character's outfit. Long-haired, yes, but that's about it as far as visual femininity. Looking closely at the copyright signature on the sidebar, however, should clear things up -- given that not many men are named "Katie". The author is just a GamerChick. However her avatar later got short-haired, which will probably cause more confusion down the line.

* During the infamous ScheduleSlip of ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}'', a debate built up on the forums as to whom Ceilidh would end up with. The most popular answers were "no one" and "Phoebe", with Joe (whom she had already dated) a close third. One forumite, however, found the latter two unlikely and the foremost cruel, so he put his chips down for the yearbook committee chair, Pasquale...not realizing "he" was every bit as female as Phoebe, with less [[MistakenForGay sexual ambiguity]]. (By the way, answer: [[spoiler:Phoebe]].)

* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' gets this more than it should ( you really think all the boobs would help) -- folks repeatedly think Jigsaw and Veled are male, at least until they get a load of Jigsaw in [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/09/work-play-and-die-where-you-live/ that dress]]. WordOfGod blames it on a "feminist" art style that doesn't go straight for the high heels, {{Stripperific}} outfits and GagBoobs like most comic books do. (She is, however, starting to give the girls some serious eyelashes to help make up for it.)

* The gender of the AuthorAvatar main character in ''[[http://chaoslife.findchaos.com/ Chaos Life]]'' confused some viewers until an FAQ section clarified that they are [[{{Transgender}} agender]] and don't identify as male or female.

** WordOfGod refuses to say what sex [[TheSmartGuy Vaarsuvius]] the elf was originally supposed to have, but when fans became confused, the creator just decided to make his/her AmbiguousGender a RunningGag. Even the characters InUniverse are split on what they believe.

* Many of the characters in Webcomic/{{Vapnthjofr Saga}}, due to the lack of TertiarySexualCharacteristics on the anthropomorphic characters, (Other than the naturally occuring, such as antlers on moose bulls. No FurryFemaleMane or its likes). Some of the male characters has shaggier fur on their jaws/chins to suggest beards, but that's about it.

** Braidy, the feminine-looking person with the long bright-red braided hair, is a guy named Reynir.

** One of or the three recurring pre-pubescent children is a long-haired ''boy''.

Mink's Color Scheme is stated to be a clan Qurik. All members of his clan are pastel colored in their natural forms regardless of gender. Cubi are also shapeshifters which complicates guessing. Mink also has rather girly mannerisms. Look at him playing with his head tentacles in [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_093.php this comic]], for instance. Also, nobody in the comic has used a third-person pronoun to refer to Mink. Mink doesn't even know what gender they are -- [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1240.php Link]]

** Newbies to the comic have confused Terezi Pyrope for a guy, partly because her normal sprite doesn't look all that feminine.

* Sock from ''Webcomic/WelcomeToHell'' is an a young, androgynous looking character who wears a skirt and has a unisex name. He however is a boy. It's made more confusing by the fact he's [[CrossdressingVoices voiced by a girl]] in the animated short.

* The gender of the AuthorAvatar main character in ''[[http://chaoslife.findchaos.com/ Chaos Life]]'' confused some viewers until an FAQ section clarified that they are [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} agender]] and don't identify as male or female.
