Yes, online it is different. It also matters what your first language is. In German the gender of a generic human (the word) is male, a human kid is neutral, animal is neutral, but a dog is male, a cat or cow is female, and a horse or pig is neutral. This continues to non living things: a house is neutral, a table is male, a couch is female. Other languages that have different gender words can be different than German.
