@Maou_heika couldn't you use images of other people as your pfp instead of photographs of yourself?

Yes, i even use cute anime girls pfps on government websites

And with my non-anime friends and business contacts too

But on websites where i have to meet strangers, the sites for selling or buying anything, i use neutral avatars, because its already too nervous for me to meet with strangers

My profile picture on most sites used to be the same shot of Maine as my MAL profile, until last year I changed my profile picture on pretty much every site except MAL to this shot of Maya Ibuki:
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.

I always use cartoon profile pictures, and most of them are anime art. As an example, I recolored the forum picture I am using, it was originally all pink.

I use different shots of Mega Man or X on different websites e.g. my discord will always have shots of Megamix characters as my pfp

Yeah on some of them, I like to change my profile picture for most sites I use every once in a while so it's just depends if I'm in the mood for it or not. With MAL though I'll always have an anime profile picture since it's an anime site. Might as well.
Go read Sousou no Frieren and One Piece they're the best thing ever

I use an anime profile picture because idk what else to use. I'd love to use some metal profile picture because that's the fandom I'm apart of however you know, that just comes off as edgy and I don't want to be made fun of you know. I've been made fun of for things much less than that so I don't really want to go through that again. Anime is a very neutral profile picture to have and what I've found is most people don't actually watch anime, they're just using the anime profile picture for the aesthetic :p

Yes. I don't like posting pictures of myself online or just taking pictures of myself in general.


Even as we miss each other, always stay as you are
Because I'll surely come and see you

I used to have them all the time on all my social medias because I had a huge weeb phase in 2020-2021. But now, I really only use anime pfps for MAL and Discord, where I don't have irl friends on.

No. Anime profile picture are ok, but they have a side effect when no one even tries to take what you say seriously anymore. I personally don't think so, but there many of those around who do, so I'll go with something different.

@RudeRedis why would people not take you seriously if you are using an anime profile picture?

@DesuMaiden, because they have a prejudice against anime. They see it as a sign of infantility, and basically label you a loser for liking anime. All their argumentation quickly falls apart the moment you ask them to elabarote, but still... I don't know about the West, but there's a decent number of folk like that over here.

@RudeRedis so where do you live? Here in the West, it is the same. People assume anime viewers are perverts/weirdos.

Me? DPR, south (Azov sea side). But over here, you more often than not get pure, genuine hatred for being an anime fan. Most of them are keyboard warriors, of course, but some do have enough muscles to “defend” their stance.
