* Part of why so many people were in denial about Tsukasa in the ''[[.hack]]'' series. The series averts this in general, there's literally only two cases of a male pretending to be female.
Line 67:
* This was kind of alluded to by Drew Carey on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' once. His line went something like this: "Welcome back to Whose Line Is It Anyway, the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter. Yep, the points are something you'll never see, just like a ''real'' lesbian in a lesbian chat room."
* Inverted in ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'': Howard and Bernadette had a breakup caused by him having online sex in a Warcraft Game with a female elf. Turns out the person playing the female elf was actually another male.
* Subverted in the episode "Computer Date" of the short-lived (1992-93) [[FOX]] series ''[[Down the Shore]]'' where the girl in question ended up being not only real, but played by [[Kathy Ireland]].
