Been thinking of changing mine, but I have no idea to what.
OT: Gotta say it, I hate the ponies. Nothing wrong with the show, hell I even watched a couple episodes with my niece and it IS a well made show. I think it is similar to me and Christianity, Fine on most if not all accounts, but the majority of the fandom drives me up a gorram wall...

I hate... HATE.. Pony avatars. Hate them
Keel them with fire.
In addition, not quite unrelared, i hate Furry Avatars. Not as much as pony avatars though.

She's technically considered loli in the show since they reference it once and one of the genre's is labeled "loli," but there's never any sexual stuff.ZiggyE said:
Though, your avatar is just as cute.
If my shit eyesight could make it out a bit more, my ador-o-metre would have just broken >.<
I hate avatars of people with their damned top hats. People here have no sense of style around here. And there are a lot of them.
I may or may not be slightly biased against people who lack an avatar.
I agree.Zeetchmen said:
Ah, I see. Not what I thought, actually.ZiggyE said:Here's a larger version from the bluray.
Looked to me like she was holding her arms up, cheering
But still cute nonetheless ^^
Not really. The main thing they do for me is make it much, much easier to pick out which posts are by which people when trying to follow a line of conversation in a thread. So I guess when people have especially generic avatars or similar avatars it bugs me a little bit. There are a handful of posters I recognise by their avatars too, though I couldn't tell you the username of a single one of them.
I might have positive bias for people with unique, artistic, or funny avatars though. And I imagine I'd probably judge people with Generic Picture of Anime Character #278 too if there weren't so damn many of them on here.

I don't know if you'd call it a bias, but I tend to associate a user with their avatar so much that to me their avatar is them. Or at least I imagine that it's what they look like or something. Which makes it weird when someone has an avatar of a character/person of the other sex.
Other than that though, avatars only tell me a bit about a user, like what they're interested. I don't judge them that much by it. Or at least I try not to.

Anything with words that are far too small to read (IE: Motivational posters with more than 2 lines usually go way to small font wise.) I like to get to know people here by their pictures but I feel like I cant get to know people when I cant read what its about...
I really dislike disturbing or just plain distracting avatars. There's generally a choice few people in a large thread that I'll completely skip over because the picture is either creeping me out or sucking the life out of my reading capabilities.
I don't have a bias for or against any particular avatar (though if I find it especially witty, I'll send the user a message complementing them), but I do have the tendency of assuming people are the gender of their avatar...
I tend to skip the posts of anyone with a My Little Pony avatar. Not because I hate them or the series, but out of spite because I don't understand why everyone loves it so much.
I also tend to take people with furry avatars less seriously. Call me biased.

Avatars with anime anything on them tend to rub me the wrong way, most likely because in my youth I spent a lot of time over at DeviantART. And oh god - the anime. I'm so tired of the anime. I even like some of the shows, but the fans... the fans I cannot abide. Too many obnoxious, drama-loving pre-teens.
I do though like to use avatars as a way of spotting potential friends or just cool-looking people. I do think you can tell a lot about a person by how they choose to represent themselves. So if I see a reference to a show, or comic, or music I really like, I tend to give that person's opinion a little bit more of my time.
Until, of course, I realize their opinion is stupid. Then I feel sad.
