I don't judge people but I have this weird thing we're I assume people are the same gender that their avatar is. So it always those me off when someone says "he" to a person with a female avatar.

This is exactly what I do, I can't help it. Turns out there are far less women on here than I'd first assumed.

 

[eot]

I don't think I do, but if I read a post and the avatar somehow reinforces what ever impression I got of the poster then I guess their avatar ends up influencing what I make of that poster. It's pretty rare though, but it happens. Perhaps someone makes an exceptionally stupid post and has an avatar to match. The times that has happened though those people have been banned in short order, heh. Anime avatars don't bother me, the only thing I don't like is babies, crying babies in particular. They get my blood boiling.

I suspect my avatar might make some people think I'm more annoyed than I am about something because it is kinda cranky looking, but that's how it goes.

 

[Carcetti]

I wish I knew what sort of values or qualities my avatar seems to imply...

 

[Mistel]

I get innocence from it myself.

I can't think what mine comes across as.

 

[Eusis]

You like old PC games... I guess?

It really is all about synergy for me and some avatars/posts are just better for it. Like when you see a guy with a Steven Armstrong avatar make a topic about why people discriminate against sweat pants.

 

[jello44]

I judge people by the content of their posts, not whatever image they decide to choose to represent themselves.

 

[J_Macgrady]

Sometimes I do, but then again I have a Tracy Mcgrady avatar so I shouldn't be talking...

 

[ArtistDude88]

My avatar was custom made by one of my best online buds.

DON'T YOU DARE JUDGE!

<3

 

[Owwari]

Despite what some might have you believe, the internet is not always as progressive as you think. Lots of people are still very turned off by perceived gender identity issues, and some immediately jump to conclusions about someone's sexuality.


In my case, I think it reflects my personality. I'm flirty, obsessed with the idea of infatuation, romance, and intimacy.

It's playful and cute. I fucking love it. I don't think gender has much to do with it at all.




I don't need your pity!


It's okay, lawd. I still love you. <3


I take your posts 100% seriously.

Where is your avatar from?

 

[Izayoi]

Where is your avatar from?

Click here for the pixiv page.

 

[Owwari]

Click here for the pixiv page.

Ohhh interesting, I thought it was from some xHOLIC or SHAFT series I didn't know of. Dem eyes.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Someone posted about my avatar on the GAF facebook group. I feel... Judged.

well apparently some believe me to be a woman.

 

[strafer]

Only Ninjaboix.

 

[strangedopamine]

I don't judge avatars at all. Avatars help me recognise people on here so I'm grateful for them.

Spoiler

Hopefully you lot don't judge my one too much!

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

Only Ninjaboix.

Hey, you are back!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Go ahead, judge me.

 

[cripterion]

I guess I love my kids, especially if they do interesting faces, so I easily avatar them.

Beyond that, I find things like these to make the best avatars :

 

[friskykillface]

Sometimes I do, but then again I have a Tracy Mcgrady avatar so I shouldn't be talking...

T-Mac was a god though, 5 seconds away from having the same number of rings as LeBron James, smh Ray Allen

but seriously, i had t-mac II and III shoes back in middle school/ wore a t-mac jersey my first day in high school haha, no regrets B^)

 

[Dennis]

How shallow.

 

[Anteater]

Most awkward avatars are hentai or porn ones cropped so you only see the woman's face.

to be fair it's sometimes rather difficult to find non porn/nude pics of a porn celebrity for avatar, they've got no choice!

 

[injurai]

How shallow.

120x100

You're just as bad as the rest of us...

 

[Mdot]

Looked through this entire thread for the guy with the Red Sox avatar, with no luck.

So with that said, nope, I don't judge anyone based on their avatar. lol

 

[Messofanego]

Go ahead, judge me.

No dinosaurs? Off the Jurassic Park hype train already?

 

[Izayoi]

Ohhh interesting, I thought it was from some xHOLIC or SHAFT series I didn't know of. Dem eyes.

Yeah man.

Irregular pupils are DA BES

 

[OldKentuckyShark]

What judgements do you make from my avatar?

 

[akaoni]

Again, what are wrong with anime avatars?

Whoeps, I guess I left this hanging. I was saying that with my username and a manga avatar.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

I need to fix mine cos it's facing the wrong way.

 

[blitzcloud]

Yes, but mostly by the expression. If the expression is appears angry or whatever, I've noticed I read their posts in a different tone than I would if there were no avatar.

Understandable.

I picture you as the world's demise psychopath due to your avatar D:

I have nothing but appraise for naoki urasawa (both in art and story) manga. Are you reading billy bat?

 

[Bedameister]

No dinosaurs? Off the Jurassic Park hype train already?

Your avatar creeps me out all the time ;(

 

[Mistel]

Go ahead, judge me.

I would of gone with the Hans job one...

 

[Coreda]

What judgements do you make from my avatar?

It looks like it was taken from a Reddit image macro? &#9582;(&#65377;&#9684;&#9661;&#9684&#9581; Would probably look more original sans text and less compressed.

 

[Arkos]

I like a shorter avatar so that my stupid comments will take up less space on desktop lol. Whoevers tag is "GAF's Parliamentarian" inspired me (not the stupid comments, just the brevity of a shorter avatar)

 

[Raiden]

You better.

 

[Skyr]

Your avatar creeps me out all the time ;(

 

[Mistel]

It looks like it was taken from a Reddit image macro? &#9582;(&#65377;&#9684;&#9661;&#9684&#9581; Would probably look more original sans text and less compressed.

This is a bigger version the text suits it.

 

[The Lamp]

No. That's ridiculous to me. They're way off by the side of each post, anyway. I have more reason to look at the posts than to glance at and judge what dumb photo or cartoon people picked for their online alias.

 

[hgarrett54]

I hope people don't ):

 

[Delta Assault]

The key is to pick out an obscure avatar, one that few people will recognize. Then you're safe, and those who do recognize it feel connected to you, as you're both in a small fraternal niche.

 

[Outlaw]

Absolutely!

 

[Loco4Coco]

I just usually look at the avatar and wonder from where it's from. Now that I now people are bothered by anime avatar I'll probably use more of those then!

 

[Into]

Only the people who seem to rotate between one celeb, typically a young attractive female. Someone having a folder of [insert_name] full of avatars is a bit strange for me.

 

[Susurrus]

No

 

[riotous]

Judge not lest ye be judged.

 

[akaoni]

Amen.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

I never really judge people by their avatar. I sort of just assume they have a general interest in something, and leave it at that. I've seen tons of smart people on GAF with furry avatars, Sony avatars, Nintendo avatars, pony avatars, and sexy girl avatars.

I'm not into making fun of people for there interest. I'm sure there are a few people who think I'm a furry because of my avatar. The fox girl in my avi comes from a character design art piece I made, and I chose her face because I thought she looked fabulous and adorable. I'm a big fan of girly aesthetics.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

No, but I do associate them with the poster if I see it often enough.

 

[tauroxd]

I had I huge "problem" with Stortroopers avatars. I kinda associate them with how she would look and that makes here some kind of shape-shifter lol. But right now I just think that it's an amazing one. I really love that illustration of Mary Jane by J. Scott Campbell.

 

[Wazzy]

Not usually. I mostly use avatars as my means of recognizing my favourite and least liked posters.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Yeah, all the time.
I don't judge harshly though.

 

[EloquentM]

Judge me! What sort of poster am I?
