Poll: Have you ever judged somone based on their Avatar?

[Paulrus_Keaton]

I do that a lot.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Yes...but now I'm curious.

What do people assume from mine?

I'm paranoid now

 

[MusicalFreedom]

anyone whose avatar does not have a border is goddamn lazy and has absolutely no eye for design, and thus goes straight into my ignore list.
I Take These Things Seriously.

 

[Contun]

Depends. If someone has a Heavy Avatar I assume they play TF2 and enjoy playing Heavy.
Most Avatars say something about the poster....


One can assume that I enjoy World of Warcraft and is excited about Cataclysm.

 

[DasAShinyGolash]

I was about to answer no but then I remembered so guy on here with an anti obama icon thing on here and I pretty much instantly judged him to be a prick and after reading some of his posts I was proven right

why did you instantly think he was a prick?

well soon as I saw his av my first guess was that he was going to be some kinda right wing loony and after reading some of his posts I was proven right

that's a good point, however there could be other reasons to hate obama, some people think he's more of a celebrity than a president, guess it depends on what the picture says. oh well

Someone thought I was flaming them because I disagreed with them. And he said it like this "don't W+M1 my thread".

 

[Dancingman]

Yeah, I just saw some person with some anthropomorphic bear as their avatar, I'm honestly hoping that said person is not a furry.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

yes, and for the most part it works for example, i have a daftpunk avatar and i like daftpunk.

Which implies you have good taste in music in my opinion.

 

[GreyWolf257]

Yes. If you see someone with a stereotypical black guy for an avatar, then either they are a stereotypical black guy, a racist, someone who loves a good laugh, or an 8 year old kid.

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

yes, and for the most part it works for example, i have a daftpunk avatar and i like daftpunk.

And you are epic!

 

[Desert Tiger]

All the time.

 

[the protaginist]

If it's something extremely fanboy-ish, then yes (Like Gordon Freeman killing Master Chief, for example) otherwise, no.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

People with political avatars usually, but that's sort of asking for it.

 

[Undead Dragon King]

People with political avatars usually, but that's sort of asking for it.

QFT. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

 

[lava_lamp]

sometimes

depends what the avatar is

 

[MrDarkling]

I guess if it's slightly fanboyish or has some kind of offence to a group of people then I kinda can judge them by their avatar.
Like someone with a swastika as a avatar, They're obviously a pr**k.....and maybe a nazi too but that's the same thing I guess.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I expect peoples' avatars to reflect something about them, and show what kind of person they are. They choose it, after all.

 

[majormayham2]

Once i saw a guy whos Avatar on this site was an * year old anime girl and he had a strange username which combined together made him look like a complete petafile
