Been there done that. Meusnier and Co started bitching when I did. More recently forgot about that and claimed I wasn’t brave enough to do it.

I've done it something around 3 years ago here in mal forums, well my face was hidden behind the medieval buhurt helmet but still it was my irl selfie/photo here x), can do that again but I don't see any reason to do that.

Unless MySpace or Facebook count then no. I like using other characters to represent me.

It's super cringeworthy when people do that.

Well, I don't mind to use my real face as avatar. I'm not good looking (me thonk), and if this keeps some people off away from me, by all means thank God! Yet... despite that, one who exposes himself still use certain anime character to build some sort of Internet Personality. Like Hololive or something.

No, I wouldn't - not just because I don't think I'm that attractive, but also because I don't really know how to look good in pictures.

It doesn't matter to me, I change my pfp when I like. For example, my discord pfp rn is a picture of me. I don't really care much at all if people see what I look like

I did some time ago.

No problem with it, but I think other kinds of avatars are more fun ;)

I don't even use my face on fb or whatsapp, forget using it on the forums.

I don't really have a problem with it, it's just that I can't see any reason why I would do that.

Yes, imagine if everyone was forced to put their face as the avatar. The world would be a better place.

No, seems unnecessary. I'd only use it for whatsapp and facebook, though I don't use the latter.

Nope. The only site where I have any part of my face as my profile is Instagram, but even then it's a side view of me with my mask on, face planted on my laptop (I was dying inside during that).

It seems rather narcissistic to be honest. I wouldn't do it.

The weirdest thing to me, is I've known two people whose background pictures on their phone (or whatever you call it) were pictures of themselves.
Not a picture of them with someone else or anything, just a solo picture of them.

I would need a good reason too. I don't see why I would though. I've been using avatars for my entirety of my time being on the internet, even on places where it's expected to use your face. It would just be weird if I started now.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

Eh, no.

If a bunch of people were doing it, I'd do it, too. But if my mug is the only thing you see after a sea of anime babes and hunks, that'd just be fucking weird.

Not at all. I wouldn't want people to leave this site after seeing my ugly ass face. They would lose years off of their life every second they stare at an image of my face

Probably not. I don't like how I look, and I don't really want to share my appearance online anyway

Seriously though, how could any of us compete with anime level beauty.

I mean I’m intrigued, but I ain’t showing my cards (er, face) first.

But I do assume everyone looks like their pic, so…sure, I look like Takiya from Dragon Maid (not at all).

Normally that is done in any other forums, but in an anime forum, you have to put an anime girl, it's the rule
