Oh I forgot that I actually have two avatars.

Do you judge other members based on their avatar?

I don't know what to think.
But your name implies someone with a scientific background.
I'm surprised at the amount of disdain for anime avatars.
You can hardly judge anime and mlp when you're sporting a comics avatar, no? Isn't it a bit like older people asking why you are still playing that game rubbish? They're for kids, etc.?
Sometimes I think people might even skip over avatars that just look 'cartoony' but aren't necessarily anime or cartoons.
The only time I judge members based on their avatar is if Lightning is in it. Then there is nothing to discuss.

Avatars disabled for the very reason.

I tend to skip over MLP avatar adorned posts along with those creepy little girl anime ones. Other than that there is only one avatar on this board that I can't stand but the member has been ignored so it's no longer an issue.
I generally see avatars as an indication of the likes/dislikes of each member. I have an unspoken bond with the people who know mine.

The only "judging" appropriate regarding avatars is what it says of the poster's preferences.
Nothing else can be inferred from an avatar.
It says nothing of the quality of their posts, and as such it would be ridiculous for me to skip posts of certain genres of avatars.
In other words I don't care about avatars.

Sure, solely on that.
I don't even read the posts. There's no need to.

You're clearly not alone.
I heard they have the ability to spy on you through their avatar. The big eyes are there to hide the secret camera. You're not safe.

It matters little. That they had it in the first place is grounds enough to keep the member on ignore.

You put someone on ignore based solely on a little picture next to their handle?
Wow.
Multiple people have gone through community threads in order to mass-ignore regulars.
Totally well adjusted behavior.

NO avatars in work.
I read your post and judge by what you say, no advantages for anyone.
Muahahaha
Yep I do the same thing, it's a lot harder for people to judge me for having GAF open if all they see is a grey website with words and boxes.

Pony avatars are in the bottom of the shit barrel, right along with meme face avatars. I just skip the post if I see one.
Oh and Sonic.

Nope. That doesn't mean I don't like some avatars (very, very few btw), so I might make a judgment on their taste, but that's about it.
I always briefly mistake you for JaseC, with that Saoirse Ronan avatar.

Ignore lists are for chumps who want an echo chamber.
That being said WrassleGAF doesn't entertain such foolishness. We bring joy.

Not just that, but "I refuse to consider the merit of anything you have to say!"
You know those stereotypically pious and judgemental church goers that everyone loves to hate? Same mentality.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Though, I guess if someone is so judgemental and close minded that they'd do such a thing, I am not really losing anything if they auto ignore me for posting in certain threads.
Well at least I know it wasn't me.

I can handle a 'medium' thanks for your cooperation!
What if it is a funny furry avatar?
An animal listening to headphones is a type of anthropomorphism, unless you think it's funny and giving yourself that out.
Yes, no, maybe?
