I really have no idea where this apparent phenomenon came from. I've yet to see many users with Spike avatars acting like douchebags.


Maybe it seems/ed more so for me since it is one of only few characters I recognise. And/Or it might be a seasonal phenomenon (summer).
In any way, I see it being of no importance really ...

you do realize most anime are made by men that 20-60ish, right?

the lolis 40 year olds are fapping to may have been drawn by other 40 year olds, yet i don't see you complaining about that

and whats wrong with being 40 and fapping to loli? its not a real child, nor do they look like real children, theyre idealized cartoon characters, theres nothing to be ashamed of

its no worse than the rush people get when they shoot a fictional character in a video game, who cares? its not real, its just idealized fiction

It's up to you what your picture is... But relativism is boring, lemme tell you what I think. The more unique pictures, the better. I'm not gonna tell you to change your avatar, but I think I am hipster enough to say I like to see deviation from the norm.

I don't really care.
You choose a character because they are (possibly) similar to you in some way, you like them for some reason, and overall you view them as one of your favorites.
People can have popular characters as favorites, too.
What makes one memorable is how they act, not which images they choose to represent themselves with.

Only real JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans that read the manga know who my character is (lol).Jokes aside,I mostly use characters that I really like or feel like using atm.I don't really care about what avatar people use but using a lesser known character helps you be more unique imo.

Unless it's used ironically, or it's JoJo, people with anime avatars are weebs.

Hell, i do what i want w/ my Avatar pics. i don't care if it's like someone else out there. as they said, there is no genuine originality. we're all influenced by and influences other people.
Mushoku Tensei is the best harem light novel out there and Rudeus is my man'. . .

No. Nobody gives a shit about someone elses avatar.

Of course, you need your anime street cred.
If you have someone like Eren, Asuna or Edward it makes you look like you just started watching anime and you can't have cred if you look like a casual.
Bonus points if you have cute girl but be warned it scares off normies.

More serious answer:
I feel like with all the possibilities of avatar, we won't be in a scenario with everyone with the same picture (all the fanart kind of solves that one).
People also keep in mind other people's avatars when choosing. I believe this would mean people try to be unique with what they choose.
In this thread (granted real small sample size), I don't see any repeating characters.
As for what I think of certain images:
Characters from shows I like: Cool folk
Lewd art: Brave souls

As for my current avatar, if I spot some active forum with the same character(s) then I'll most probably change mine.

Right now it's from Blood+ but usually I use one from Kyo Kara Maoh, which is not so popular and besides the character I like is mostly hated by the rest of the fandom so chances of spotting such an avatar are very slim. Besides I wouldn't even mind it, more like I would be happy about it.
