Just chiming in: You might not see it, but there's certainly a pressure to conform to anime girl standards. My "main" avatar is male and I was told by a dozen people at my first few meetups to change to a female. I was even taken aside by one person and tried to convince to switch to a cute anime girl avatar with a rather lengthy conversation.

I'm confident in myself enough to the degree that I don't care what others think, and I'll do what I want, so I'm perfectly fine with the bullshit, but not everyone has that luxury.
