Alright, I think the consensus is with those characters.

Still, it's disappointing to see so little about Rayman in the forum. All we have at the minute is a banner, a forum, ranks and a few icons... nothing else is Rayman-related at all.

That's offensive to women. The venus symbol appears to point downwards. Down, as we all know, is considered the general direction in which you need to travel to get to Hell. Using the venus symbol to represent women could be interpreted as meaning that women are from/should go to, Hell. It is therefore an offensive symbol and should not be used! :pascontent:

How about we do it like this

Males: penis
Females: No penis

Shame I can't find that bit of Look who's Talking Too on youtube. ;_;

Anyway for anyone who isn't clear about it; ♂ stands for sender and ♀ stands for reciever.

That is far too sexual for a forum based on a child-friendly game. We should use Antitoons and Electoons instead.

If we do use those characters I think they should be coloured pink and blue.

You've got a point there, although a large majority of the members here are over 12 years old...

But we must protect the innocence of the little ones! What if MLII sees those symbols? She could be traumatised!
