Avatar Bias

[Bags159]

Am I the only person who doesn't look at an avatar until after I read their post?

Judgmental much? I really wasn't expecting this sort of BS from fellow Escapists.

This.

And people who dislike pony avatars make my avatar sad. Not sad enough to change it, but still.

Does patrolling the pony hate make your avatar wish for a nuclear winter?

I tend to dislike avatars that are used by lots of people, but I can't think of specific images I'm biased against.

Well there are some forum members who left a very negative impression on me, and this extends to their avatar - even when other people are using it. However this is really individual images rather than certain characters or what not.

I hate anything with a catgirl. There's one guy with an animated catgirl avatar that really sets my teeth on edge. The guy himself is fine, and often an interesting writer, but his avatar really bugs the hell out of me.

I hate to make a post just to say this, but I really lol'd. An NCR pony would most likely spend most of his time working on the nuclear winter wrap-up, huh? Now I have to replay New Vegas and come up with some good pony crossover quotes.

Haha, no, not yours. That one's fine.

I tend to think of people with SMT avatars (particularly Persona) to be generally awesome and at least partially decent people, no matter what they're saying. they could be posting about rape and puppy punting, and it wouldnt really matter.


... Oh yeah, my atlus affection runs deep.

I'm always surprised when I strongly disagree with someone with an MLP avatar, even though I really shouldn't be. And I always look favourably on those with an Oddworld avatar.

 

[AlAaraaf74]

I, too, don't like lolis. I'm also not a fan of ponies.

 

[hotsauceman]

I hate people with mass effect avatars. I mean really? They are stupid. Its a great game but not avatar worth. especially ones with krogans.
But in seriousness. Anything distasteful. Like inappropriate sex stuff(like the stuff op mentioned)or just irritating gifs. But i tend not to judge people by avatars unless it looks like they are using it to just troll.

 

[Rune342]

I don't really have a bias toward avatars. Everyone likes what they like, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing they like

Wow, what a bunch of butthurt Escapists with My Little Pony avatars. So the rest of the Escapist doesn't like your choice of a small representation of what you enjoy. Big deal. You should be comfortable and confident enough in your interests to not give a fuck what others think. Wear your pony avatar with pride, and if anybody tells you otherwise: fuck them. It's text on the internet people: text. on. the internet.

You're just making yourselves look bad by complaining about it.

OT: I tend to be fine with whatever avatar people choose to use. The My Little Pony avatars don't bother me, nor does any avatar because I'm not a judgmental asshole who bases ones entire personality and morals over an image 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 pixels in size. I really don't see the purpose of this thread other than to spit hate, as is already evident, but if I absolutely had to choose an avatar....genre?

[small]What a ridiculous notion.[/small]

I would have to choose the avatars that seem normal, and then flash to a scary image or something completely surprising that takes me off guard. That, or the avatars that flash with many colors or just black and white, ala strobe effect.

Those hurt my eyes.

When I see people whose avatars are things people used to find moderately pleasing ninety years ago. Like that animation of a cat wearing headphones and headbanging. When I see people with that avatar my brain cries.
Also, if I see people with avatars related to 4chan, I admittedly have negative first impressions.

 

[Revolutionary]

I tend to be a little too judgemental of people who have "low effort" avatars. I have to remind myself that not everyone can be bothered lovingly crafting their own 100X100 gif.

Pony avatars. Just don't like them.

 

[OneEyeX]

I bet most folks around here don't even know what my avatar IS, let alone what it stands for.

 

[Ashendarei]

I'm biased towards avatars with hats!
