I don't want other people fapping to my pics and make a body pillow out of them. That'll be very disturbing.

People shouldn't post their pics on this site. If you have there is an 80% chance that I have fapped to it.

I don't want to be immediately identifiable. If anyone from work was able to find out that this account belongs to me, I'm fucked lol.
See something you want on my list but can't find it to download? Drop me a message and I'll help you out.

You shouldn't show your IRL picture in MAL. They could be stalking you or criticize you for being "ugly" and talk shit about your face.

This is the reason why people don't show their IRL pic; they're scared to be criticized and could be stalked.

Well, I really don't use my rl photos even in facebook.

Just don't feel like using, and I don't like to take selfies or that kind of crap.

Using a rl pic as an avatar wouldn't look good imo unless it's edited with graphics and such.

Also because it's pretty stupid, I'd end by judging you instantly. Why don't people use their dick pics as avatars? I mean this way people would still stay anonymous whilst still getting the thrill of being seen online.

I find the nerdier the activity, the less likely you are to see a real face. Unless you go digging around in their links.

For me: On social media sites I use my actual picture. However, for sites like this I've always used an interpretation of myself. No real reason why other than that's how I roll.

Actually it is easier because I do not have to crop my pics like on social media (I'm chesty & there are a lot of pervs😒).

MAL would become wildly more obnoxious if it was filled with pictures of pizzafaced adults. But to be honest I am a little curious of what people look like underneath all of these LIEEES.

I am not afraid to show myself online, that is if the website is cathered to a community where social status plays a role. Like Facebook and Instagram, on MAL... I don't see the point of showing myself. A couple of people here do know my looks irl.

Because I'm a fat, sweaty, hairy, unwashed, drunken neckbeard with Dorito stains all over his tighty whiteys.

Notice I never said ugly though. Because by all things right, I am criminally handsome.
