Having an avatar of your actual face on this forum of all forums is straight up weird.

On social media, it's standard, but on an anime forum?

As long as they look good, it's fine.

No, not really, I don't like their creepy photographed eyes looking at me while I'm weebing.

I have 2 pictures of IRL me on my profile because I'm used to it, in all the forums I used before MAL people liked to have their face somewhere in their profile or link the profiles to some other social media thing so you know who you're talking to. Plus it makes for some amusing conversations, at least on my case.

Well, I don't have a problem with it, but i was taught never to do anything that might look unprofessional and could be linked back to my real life persona, so MAL definitely falls into that category for me.

They're just fishing for attention. The fact that the ones with themselves as their profile picture that i've seen tend to be more popular than your average MAL user proves it.

Me myself i would never let a picture of myself be public. It's not that i'm not confident, i just don't trust strangers that just waltz around.

I don't really care. Everyone can use the avatar they want. Although I dislike when people use pictures of half naked muscular supermodel guys or supermodel girls in bikinis.

Nah, I get that. I was just being tongue-in-cheek because he's suggesting that using yourself as a profile picture, plus coincidentally being somewhat more popular (which is caused by several factors) correlates to deliberately seeking attention.
