The only time I am bias is when I encounter someone with the same exact same image as my (using the same character doesn't count unless it's the same detail with that character). Regardless who use it first it make spend ages trying to get a new unquie avatar that no one else had used.
Other than that no I'm not bia over an image/ gif. I'm not judgemental like that.

While not having the time to read all of this thread, I chanced over a few points which I like, so i will ad my voice with theirs.
First, I also distrust people who don't have even a basic Avatar, because it either means you don;t identify with the internet or yourself in the internet, and so interatcing when you are in that position tells me that people aren't ready to make a name for themselves on the internet, which is fine to a point.
Secondly, as the avatar is essentially a representation of what you want other people to think of you (With the Bieber ones, you either did it as a joke or because you were entranced with his music.), using something, Such as loli, guro or even photos of other celebrities shows a darker side to who people are actually. Nothing wrong with that, as it is only a 2D construct on the Internet. And besides, isn't that what an avatar is? A representation of your self as you want to be?

Hey, now, I've got nothing against people who like Lucky Star.Steppin Razor said:
Just those hypocrite types who seem to think lolicon is some horrible travesty while Lucky Star is... well it's fucking Lucky Star.
And I was disappointed by it. After having such an upbeat intro that hooked me to it, it was surprisingly boring >.>
And... well you're my lovable douche! *hugs*
Oh god, that sounded weird >.>
A confusing squiggle that I made far too long ago and is in need of changing. Probably something to do with Warhammer or something.Easton Dark said:
Adding confusing ones to the list as I have no clue what they are. Hypocrisy! \o/
I can't really say I have a bias against avatars, maybe if someone had the same avatar as mine but I rarely see Game of Thrones avatars, let alone other Greatjon ones
Also, while I think of it, Wouldn't a photo of yourself be an appropriate Avatar? It is you as you want to be seen, as you will probably have picked the photo yourself. Mainly for social networking, this applies.
I'm against every avatar that isn't mine because of reasons and justifications for those reasons.
Really? Your avatar is one of my favourites.Dags90 said:
Then again, I have watched an embarrassing amount of ANTM.
OT: For some reason I don't like Yahtzee avatars but I can't explain why. Seems... lazy or something.

Nah, you're avatar isn't anything wrong or creepy, it's cute! Anyone who says otherwise evidently hasn't grown-up yet.Roofstone said:
OT: I admit that a lot of anime and MLP avatars meld into each other, nothing against either of those fandoms but they often make it harder to tell those people apart. Like the Escapist equivalent of East Asian people :-D
You seem to be biased against the word "have" though.ShockValue said:
Well, it's slow-paced slice of life stuff. It's definitely not for everyone. That being said, I enjoy the manga a lot more, so it might be worth checking out.Julianking93 said:
Yep, that did come across as rather weird. Oh well, let the weirdness abound.
*hugs*
It's the 4 symbols of the Chaos gods surrounding the Mark of Chaos Undivided.evilomega13 said:
Funny thing is; I enjoy slow paced dialogue centred movies and shows. Lucky Star was just a bit boring to me.Steppin Razor said:
I'll read the manga though and see if that's any better since... well typically they are in general, even if the anime is already good, the manga's always better >.>
I hate any avatar that doesn't remind me of something. I really like avatars that makes me think of a show, or anything, really. As a brony, I like MLP avatars, because they make me think of a show that I know a lot about, and therefore are able to link that user to his avatar easily.
Hmm, I didn't notice that. In my defense I've been up for quite a long time now so I'm not surprised to have over looked that.Steppin Razor said:
A vagina monster? I just thought that your avatar was a poster on a wall of an almost anatomically correct picture of the internal female reproductive organs, no idea why it pulsates though.KefkaCultist said:
O.T I don't really have much of a bias for or against a particular type of avatar as I don't spend much time lurking or posting on the forums however I do like the ones that are clear and distinct, or you can tell that the person put some effort into them.
