I dont think it's that bad of an excuse. I just don't think it's that big of a deal at all.
Anyway, to whoever that thinks its a poor excuse...it's not like anyone is asking you to be friends with him. If you don't like him because he wears girl "sprites" then just stay away/dont pay attention to him. I have a friend named Shrimp who used to go around as a girl simply because he didn't like the guy sprites,hair,face,etc. Anyway it's only a game
