Wait till I tell you that people in prison for murder have enjoyed playing Animal Crossing, Yakuza and Halo.

Shitty people enjoy things that good people enjoy. Anonymity leads people to choose avatars of things like they to hide who they really are. It's funny it often is anime avatars but people who lose it and start saying they can't watch anime ever again need to chill and remember life is for enjoying. Watch anime. Be cool. Enjoy life.

 

[MrDoctor]

How about people with no avatars? Reading stuff like this makes it harder to choose one.

the worst. you can immediately spot a degenerate with an anime girl avatar -- i would never trust one myself, tbh -- but with nothing you can't be sure

 

[Dunkley]

Dog avatars is where the real evil lurks

Definitely. We're the ones everyone should be afraid of.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

I'm not sure who is hurt by such a generalization?

Probably anime fans who are not alt right.

 

[Bossking]

Nah, it's all about video game avatars that look like anime avatars ;D

Wrong, the superior avatars come from Saturday morning cartoons based off video games.

Here's a good explanation by Talib Keli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nXUOixv3hc

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Maybe they should all watch Your Name to have a better understanding.

😜

It's a start. ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Reversed]

It's all fun and games until they photoshop a MAGA hat on it. It looks super awful, too.

 

[PAULINK]

OP has an avatar of a character who is introduced in the 1st game by saying he wants to rape the main characters female friend.

Just sayin.

lmao

Welp. The tables have turned.

Let's judge him.

I mean, its just an avatar idk. I've had an anime avatar too and I wouldnt blame anyone for assuming the worst from first glance.

 

[zoleristec]

It's always moe shit, too.

 

[The Kree]

Is this like when you're waiting for your friend to pick you up and they drive a red car and all you see is red cars passing by with them not inside?

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Go away, anime

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

How do you guys feel about Bubble Bobble avatars?

 

[kamineko]

unless it's a cat. that's different.

sometimes.

maybe.

 

[Faiz]

Fans in the know use toku avatars.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Go away, anime

no

 

[Oberon]

jojo avatars are cool right

just saying

I love jojo btw this is just a joke

 

[LotusHD]

Ah, true true

It's always moe shit, too.

I won't lie, the avatars where the women have outrageous breasts always have me chuckling quietly to myself depending on what thread they're in lol

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Go away, anime

You go away.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

I recall reading one of the mods here stating a disproportionate number of accounts they ban have anime avatars.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

there seems to be a quite big correlation between being a huge fan of anime, and being a shut-in

 

[psychowave]

It's always moe shit, too.

Yeah. There's a difference between a normal anime avatar and a moeshit anime avatar. The former are just people who like anime, the latter are alt-right assholes like 99% of the time.

 

[Marvel]

Dog avatars is where the real evil lurks

How dare you.

Spoiler

You're not wrong lol

 

[MKIL65]

Sure

Until someone dyes Jotaro's hat in red.

 

[Maxinas]

The Japanese were once Nazi allies and sympathizers. We still have individuals who deny all Japanese war crimes. It all makes sense now; anime is just a way to get all the baka gaijin pigs under their control for the inevitable rise of the New Japanese Empire.

Miyazaki was right all along. Anime was a mistake.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Well, you're not too wrong about that.

 

[Kthulhu]

Oh god, don't even open that can of worms. Steven Universe fans have done some truly awful shit.

Anime is a medium. Like all mediums, whether it's movies, comics, video games, painting, whatever a bunch of people like to make, 99% of it will be garbage. Movies are also filled with tropey, misogynistic, creepy shit, but you would be stupid to see someone with an avatar of some Adam Sandler movie and think "ew, one of those movie-lovin' weirdos" instead of "oh god, are you an actual Adam Sandler fan in the year 2017".

Judge the content, not the entire medium. If it's some asshole with panty-flashing little girl from Strike Witches in a MAGA hat, then yeah, fuck 'em.

I'm not judging the medium. I explained in the first page why so many alt-right accounts have anime avatars

 

[jaekeem]

The sad truth is there is massive overlap between anime fans and alt-right losers. Both are generally socially awkward, frustrated young men who want to blame their problems on the nebulous "SJWs" that dislike the misogyny that goes on in a lot of anime shows.

Amen

 

[andymcc]

Sure

Until someone dyes Jotaro's hat in red.

Maga maga daze

 

[Audioboxer]

I recall reading one of the mods here stating a disproportionate number of accounts they ban have anime avatars.

When you're banned you cannot change your avatar. So imagine desperately wanting to update your anime avatar to your latest most favourite show and having to stare at an old show avatar forever

Spoiler

and your banned message

.

 

[Ogodei]

Spoiler

Jojo did sort of downplay the badness of the Nazis by having part II be set before World War II started, and setting the Nazis against vampires as reluctant allies, but Japan's blindspot regarding WWII is huge, even for Japanese who aren't trying to be apologist shitheads.

Wow

Yeah I am out of this fucked up thread. I know a large portion of GAF likes to shit all over anyone that happens to enjoy anime but this thread is taking it to another level. Enjoy the generalizations!

 

[minor effort]

How do you guys feel about Bubble Bobble avatars?

Taito-related avatars are okay, I guess.

my favorite avatar category right there

We're above it all!

 

[Timedog]

How you choose to visually represent yourself obviously says something about you. It shouldn't be surprising that guys that secretly want to fuck 8 year old cartoon girls are anti-social and terrible.

 

[Line_HTX]

I mean, its just an avatar idk. I've had an anime avatar too and I wouldnt blame anyone for assuming the worst from first glance.

The problem is it's beating a dead horse whenever an awful horrendous alt-right Neo-Nazi event happens and someone makes tries to make that stupid connection.

Like this Batman.

 

[Haly]

Anime video game avatars thinking they're immune from anime avatar hate

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

^The only real exception I've seen is with Dragon Ball related avatars.

Yeah. There's a difference between a normal anime avatar and a moeshit anime avatar. The former are just people who like anime, the latter are alt-right assholes like 99% of the time.

The perfect storm of a cross-section of incels, neckbeards, and nazis.

 

[LotusHD]

Anime video game avatars thinking they're immune from anime avatar hate

Above it all I said!

Spoiler

Actually this would be more like a comic book/manga video game avatar, so I'm double above it!

 

[rekameohs]

My Little Pony avatars are generally even worse

 

[MKIL65]

#notallanimeavis

Hunter x Hunter and My Hero Academia avatars are pure.

The rest are trash!

 

[Dash_Riprock]

My Little Pony avatars are generally even worse

I thought that fad died out years ago?

Spoiler

Or maybe that was just wishful thinking...

 

[Joyful]

I have been called bad before. Many have said I do things that are not correct to do. I don't believe in talk such as this. I am nice man, with happy feelings. all of the time

 

[LotusHD]

Is Hisoka pure tho

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I imagine most of them previously sported pepe avatars, but now that pepe is pretty much a hate symbol and almost always lets us know the person behind the avatar is an alt-right loser, they resorted to shitty anime waifus.
