Do you get affected by people's avatars and start building assumptions about them? Has happened to me, even though I try not to.
Do avatars affect you?

Not really. Unless their name matches the style/theme of the avatar. Then i would feel that means they are trying to get some of themselves accross, so maybe make one or two assumptions
I don't really care enough to look at peoples avatars or names really because it will either be in some kind of 1337 sp33k or some sort of obscure reference/inside joke between his/her/their friends
Would that explain why you seem to have a new one every week, if not sooner? You're really starting to confuse me, here. @_@crazyhaircut94 said:
It depends on what the avatar is, of course. I unconsciously tend to pay less attention to someone's post if they have one of the oft-used ZP avatars of anything 4chan related.
It's easier to recognize someone because of their avatar, but that's really the only reason I pay attention to them.
Just trying to find one that I'm happy with. But no, it's to get attention or respect or anything like that.SharPhoe said:
Not usually but if you're pretty new and have either no avatar or a Zero Punctuation avatar then I won't take you as seriously. I don't know why, but that's it.
I think that usually you can get an idea of the persons personality from their avatar. For example, SharPhoe further up the thread has a self-made avatar. That makes me think of him as a creative person. If someone changes their avatar frequently that gives me the impression that they have a very wide range of interests or they have a mind that flits easily between different subjects.
Those examples may not be correct but that's the impression I get, not sure if anyone else thinks like that.

Well its usually the... er it's because... I don't know how to say...xmetatr0nx said:
Um nicholaxxx could you come over for a demonstration. Thank you, that's a good lad.
What does the xxx part say to you? Is it a need to feel "cool"? To make yourself seem hardcore. Or the name, I kid ye not, Faps. Is it that much of a mystery?
