Once, on a non-anime forum, someone randomly messaged me asking why I had an avatar of a female anime character. They were like, "I'm pretty sure you're a grown man." lmao...

Anyway, people tend to use avatars of characters they like. They don't have to be sexually attracted to them or whatever.

To provide an adequate representation of myself, of course. Though, regrettably, I have yet to find one cute enough.

That statement of yours hurt my inner love for him...

I run into the same trouble, no anime boy properly encompasses my amazing personality coupled with my stunning looks.

What about having a cute anime girl profile pic but instead it's actually a cute anime boy?

I'm too macho for a cute female or male anime character to identify me. So it's just for fun.

I am deeply sorry to have hurt you Luchse. It is not because of his looks that I can't use his pictures, but because of his pure personality. It'd simply be giving myself too much credit.

I appreciate the recommendation, but I don't think that Anime would be my cup of tea.

It always made sense to me to use characters that I love regardless of gender. Maybe they just really like that specific character.

Explain this train of thought? Surely they would have a male character then?

Good man, your hair.

Besides, is there some rule that one should have an "anime avatar" — I, for one, have not.

Its just what ive seen over the years. A lot of these transgender types present themselves as sex obsessed women with penis, and regular yaoi anime seems to be a straight hetero female thing.

And then you see the gay guys on 4chanr9k who float between transgenderism and straight up shotacon and pederasty, theyre never talking about gakuen heaven or whatever

Bruh, idk, I used a profile pic of Kaguya Shinomiya months ago on Discord, my first and only time I do it.

BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

Just as my profile picture, either it's their favorite character on the series, or they find him cute. As for me is anime girls cuz I like big breasts and some thick thigh action or their personality I find them cute and attractive.

Forum pics are always to be seen as representative for the user behind. In my case I don't have a forum pic to represent the emptiness inside me.
I probably regret this post by now.

Maybe they can relate to the character? Or just like the character's personality. I mean it's just a picture.

That's because, if you wanna know, you'll have to transfer a few euros to my paypal, I noticed I was missing a huge potential consumer market by sharing my beautiful face for free. As a master of capitalism, I'll no longer give away money.
I've been using a ponytail though

When you're playing a game, do you go and select a female character or a male? Let's say if that game was a dating sim. Would you end up choosing a male or female? Since if you're a male it's obvious you want your character to be male too. Hence, giving you a chance to interact with female characters.

Maybe it's their favorite character. I mostly pick anime chicks as my avatar, cause I'm a guy and that's completely normal to find a character cute or attractive. I don't care what are you into but as long it's not no Ahegao face or something.
