One is a random/transient image, the other is a chosen name they identify with. People quite often put random anime/movie/show images as their pfp, they don’t normally put an explicit gender in their name. If you don’t understand how that is different, I don’t know that I can help you understand.

    FYI, "fit" was slang for "attractive" long before it was short for "outfit", ergo the username is not an "explicit" statement of the user's/users' gender IRL. ☝🏼

    To the extent that any username isn’t explicitly a statement of the users gender, I agree. But if I used the name “just some girl” as my username, I’d expect people to assume I was a girl. Same with “just some guy” assuming I was a guy.

    The moment you put a gender into your username, people are going to roll with what appears to be a self identification.
