Sometimes. Sometimes there's dissonance, like there's this friendly looking avatar next to extreme vitriol. That can feel like betrayal, or sneakiness of some sort. Other times there's perfect harmony, which is usually when the avatar quotes come out.
Oh, and I'm not high, I'm just sleepy.

You're welcome! I'm totally not biased. Lol
Yeah, your Dojima avatar is pretty cool. So was your Fuuka one.

ya but the fuuka one is an animu girl and I don't want to come off as one of those types if u know what i mean...
Anime avatars are used heavily in message boards within the context of awful/bait-y shitposting and it will continue to be used as such because that's what your demographic simply does
Its not a personal slight, you should stop taking it as such. Other people on the internet ruining a good thing is not exclusive to anime avatars whatsoever, just deal wiyh it
Do you really think the majority of us are pieces of shit? And which kinds of avatars on your list tend to affirm one's shittiness? Anime gotta be top ten.

It might be time to go back to regular Bobo Dakes.
A mod is going to be super annoyed in a minute.
This might be my favorite thing you've ever said.
Lmao I've often wondered if the vibe was intentional.
Huh
My avatar generally causes others to enter an extremely aggressive state upon reading my posts.
Such is life.

Yep, and honestly people that brand their avatars with different pieces of comsumable media (kratos-ifying an avatar is a prime example) are kind of my number #1 headscratchers.
Anime avatar users, I just kind of ignore the ones i don't know beyond this site, they're relatively harmless
If someone has a companies logo as their avatar I won't take anything that they say about said company without a massive pile of salt.
If someone has an anime avatar I think less of them and their opinion.
If someone has no avatar I don't mess with them as they have nothing to lose.
If someone has a soccer player as their avatar the usually love Fortnite, FIFA and dislike Nintendo fanboys.
If someone has a Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo mascot as their avatar I think anything they say about said platform is sus.
If someone has low res, poorly cropped or undersized avatar I feel pity for them and their lack of foresight when picking or making an avatar.

On ERA there doesn't seem to be some ubiquitous pop culture zeitgeist where you see certain avatars over an over again like you would in previous years. I do expect posters who bemoan the current state of gaming, and how they hate AAA or "cinematic" games to have some sort of Nintendo related avatar, and I'm seldom disappointed.
That was probably his most clever post I've seen in a min. lmao
Yea, nothing's a coincidence ;D
Real talk though what do you get out of pledging your unacknowledged allegiance to a faceless corporation by slapping their logo on a Simpsons screen cap???? Like how boring are you????
In other words, people with Simpsons avatars are irredeemably good, honest people. Especially if its a cap between S1-15

I was more surprised about someone counting my avatar as "an anime avatar", i mean, yeah it's intentionally imitating the pop team epic style (which is somewhat removed from why people have a problem with anime avatars), but it's a picture of a furry OC of mine that i drew myself, it's kinda weird, if they had mentioned something about me having a furry avatar, i'd be like "okay, that's fair", but it caught me off guard that apparently this is "anime" enough.
See, if you had a video game avatar in an animated style, there wouldn't be any issues
Lmao
It'd annoy me even more tbh
Real talk people with Furry avatars are fearless and brave and I wish i had the confidence those individuals have
Their power levels are absolutely unmatched
I think it's because a lot of people Kratos-ified their avatars for some time when the latest GoW came out, hah.
Nobody will ever match the raw confidence power Boss Doggy irradiated back at the old place.
You actually need a real name cuz it's VERY hard to tag you in a post. Lol
Someone made this for me, but now I'm not gonna use it cuz you said that
Yea I know, it's just the way he said it and everything, made me laugh lol
I have flashbacks to those avatars everyone had on GAF for ages because of some avatar bet. It was a photoshopped pic of a dude from Tropic Thunder I believe. It drove me nuts. I couldn't tell anyone apart.
I don't even know how people perceive my avatar. It's just the Citadel emblem from Mass Effect.
I hope you never change your avatar. It suits you well (in a good way).
Plus you're one of the few people left still rocking a Kat avatar :(

hahaha! i remember, it was the Knack avatar shoped on RDJ's character, no?
I only judge the edgy avatars. Like when someone's being a sarcastic contrarian and their avatar is a skeleton or a pentagram or some shit. Those kids aren't fooling anybody.
